So just the usual at work early update on my day.
I woke up on time, did some stretching (will do yoga after work instead of the gym today)
Ive eaten cantaloupe, pineapple, a hard boiled egg. I have chicken and salad for lunch and some strawberries. Also pumpkin seeds are my new jam! Eating clean has been successful today!
I had a friend of mine ask me to talk about 3 books they should read this year. Now this would have been a topic I could not answer 3 years ago. Hell, even 1 year ago haha. I am much more equipped now!
1. Silence- Shusaku Endo
Silence is a book about faith, blind faith. It is about faith in the darkest of times. The story takes place in Japan during the 1600's. It is about Jesuit missionaries who traveled to Japan in an attempt to convert the Japanese. During this time, the Japanese weren't trying to accept Jesus and what not, so they would torture Christians and force them to apostatize (Revolt against their faith). I wont give out more than that but if you have ever had faith then I am also sure you have questioned that faith. This book is a great reminder of what faith truly is. For those of you who aren't of any particular faith, this book is still a fantastic read. It will at the very least challenge your dedication in your life.
2. The Primal Blueprint- Mark Sisson
The primal blueprint is a guide to changing your life. It focuses on the foods we should be eating and bases it off of our genetic makeup and history. Simply put, we used to be hunters and gatherers, our bodies our built for that lifestyle and this book explains it all. It also explains how a few changes in your life can give you a boost of energy, eliminate health risks, and allow you to stay healthy! I'm still reading this book, but yooooo its pretty dope and I'm seeing first hand even this early how great these changes can be!
3.All The Light We Cannot See- Anthony Doerr
I have about 150 pages left of this book but it WOWs me! It is about a blind girl in occupied France (WWII) and a German orphan who gets sent to a military academy to become a German soldier. This book will tug on your heart strings. It is full of beautiful relationships between the girl and her father, the orphan and his sister, and the uncle and the girl. The book does a great job of bringing you to the scene, the authors detail makes you feel as if you are really there in the room with the characters. The way the author jumps between the stories of the two main characters is brilliant. A really great read!!!

Today was really great. Ate clean all day start to finish for the third day in a row ! I did some yoga right before I started writing this and that was fire!! Helped clear me of any negativity from my day. Today I was again focused on being a better human not just a healthier one. I made a sale at work which is always good! I wrote 3 or 4 different things I had done to be a better person today but I realized that what I did was not as important as why. I was snap chatting a friend today and she said you look great you have a glow to you . I chalked it up to just being healthier but then I started thinking, could it be that I'm actually happier and it shows? Could this be another part of my growth? Having a positive attitude , being loving to others, eating healthy , and working hard to be a good person in general has changed my vibe . I feel that I'm easier to talk to now , I began to focus more on understanding others perspectives than just discounting them. Not only am I happy with my changes but my friends and family are making it clear that i am making changes that they are proud of .
My beautiful mother cooked me a bunch of food, prepped my lunch for tomorrow , made my breakfast for tomorrow , cooked dinner, and then realized I didn't have a protein for lunch tomorrow and quickly whipped up a salmon filet for me without hesitation. I strive to express love in that way, totally unconditional. She just wants me to be successful and she will do anything I need to make sure I achieve my goals . I couldn't be more thankful for you mom, I love you so much!
Got some good news too!!
Me and two other guys are going to begin working on a script for a movie with the intent to have the star actor as one of my personal favorite/least favorite people ever!! I'm so stoked!!! It's going to be hilarious . I literally cried laughing when we were talking over the story board . I really wanna make this happen ! So keep me in your thoughts as I try to make that a reality!
As always message on facbeook or text and I will be more than happy to discuss whatever y'all want me to!
