My Life Story . . . So, Far . . .
I was heading fast towards a slow, painful death... today I run 5 kilometers four times a week.
Four years ago, before discovering the Neothink Society, I was 265 pounds and climbing, a cigar-smoking "couch potato" with a seven-year addiction to a narcotic called Vicodin. I never exercised and experienced body pains ranging from sore back muscles to chest pains. I slept ten hours a day, watched television or played poker all weekend, and constantly overate. I was heading fast toward a slow, painful death.
But that was the old me, and I simply decided I'd had enough. So I began a new life with the tools I discovered within the Neothink Society.
Three years ago, I quit smoking. I had tried to quit at least 15 times, and that problem, which I'd had for 26 years, simply vanished as irrational. Shortly after, I accepted that the Vicodin I had once needed for low back pain had become an unnecessary addiction. Once placed in proper context, it was easy to quit.
Twenty months ago, I decided it was time to get back into shape. I clearly remember thinking, at 5'7", "What am I doing at 265 pounds and climbing? I don't even have an NFL contract." That day I began to run. I was only able to make it one block before I was too winded to continue. I crawled home and was able to do only four push-ups and six sit-ups. I was disgusted with myself.
Since absorbing the Society's fully integrated honesty, I have made great strides in understanding the nature of human beings, beginning with myself. This comprehensive knowledge has allowed me to make profound improvements in virtually all areas of my life.
Today, I run five kilometers four times a week and take three one-hour aerobics classes a week. I can easily complete 70 push-ups and 90 sit-ups. I am smoke-free and drug-free. I have no body pains, am well rested after seven hours of sleep, watch little television, and never overeat. I am much healthier, with greatly increased energy levels. I have doubled my wealth, am three times happier, and I'm busy creating a future of my own choosing.
All of these "miracles" were accomplished through self-empowerment via self-responsibility. I stand with my Society family members in empowering ourselves and the world to realize that any chosen action that harms the human organism or society must be looked at as bad and morally wrong, and any chosen action that benefits the human organism or society must be looked at as good and morally right.
Lastly, each of us already possesses the greatest power in existence: voluntary choice. With this amazing power, we will each dictate the outcome not only of our own lives, but also influence the direction of those we love. We each have the power within us to create a life of health, wealth, and importance. All we have to do is choose to learn, forever.
To be continued.
