own it

i want to do more than just survive the day. sure there are those days, but thriving is so much more... ALIVE.

i think being here on sparkpeople and working on our health/weight is part of turning that corner and taking control. the small daily successes we find here should encourage us to find that same success in all areas of our lives... work, relationships, family, thoughts. we are more than just physical beings that eat and sleep and propagate the species. we're more than instinct. we have thought and experience that go beyond our limited time here that we gain through learning from others and their experiences. there's power in knowledge and power in numbers. i want to learn to harness those gifts and THRIVE not just survive. I want to own my own choices and make my world mine.
