Yes yes, I don't have a post for day 11, but I am not perfect. I will say this though, day 11 I had a great workout and felt more energized than I have in a long time. I even notice lately there is a little more pep in my step. I am just physically starting to feel the benefits of getting back in shape and it has only been a little more than a week. Enough about day 11 this post is for day 12. As far as the workouts go today was a scheduled rest day on my program calendar, which was good.
I want to talk about something that I read the other day though. In my Imitation of Christ book it had mentioned how people are ready to do evil, but yet it is hard to find people ready to do good. In more home hitting terms people are usually ready to express their disgust or insult others when offended, but we hesitate to give a compliment, sometimes in fear they might "take it wrong".
What if we tried to spread love on purpose simply for the purpose of spreading love? What if we dedicated ourselves to try to make one person smile every day, one stranger even. It could be as simple as smiling at somebody. It would not only bring some light into another person's day but it would also brighten our spirits.
The biggest challenge in this is that there is just something in the world that when you try to change your life for the better that sets you back. When you decide you are about peace and love, hate and anger comes knocking at your door. It takes a lot of strength to walk in peace and love, and even more to help spread that life style. But, just like working out, it just becomes easier with time if you push through.

It does akways seem that when we make positive decisions in our life there are people right next to us to knock us down. They do it out of fear. They chose not to put themselves out there in a positive productive light in fear of failing. But they don't realized by not trying they already have failed.
