The Art of Living

I just read this phrase in one of my daily emails and thought wow, this is the essence of Battle2Heal. When I created this site, I thought I wanted to heal from my obesity concerns, however as the time keeps going I realize that I want to create living. It's an art form.

So I read that phrase today and yesterday we watched "What the Bleep do we know?" a movie about how our minds and thoughts center on reality. Both of these got me thinking that really Battle2Heal is about our struggles to create a life that we are proud to show off. Similar to a painting that we frame and hang on the wall, we want our lives to be perfect. The cool thing is that art is also created with imperfections that occasionally make them more valuable than perfection. So what does this say about your life?

For me, it says that while trying to create a perfect art of living life, a few imperfections are okay. I interpret this as, because I'm working to heal my body, if I go out to eat sometimes, it's okay. A little imperfection in my "perfect" world. What all this is saying is that loving yourself enough to know that we are not perfect people is called the Art of Living and is the essence of my being.

Blessings to you!
