“Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
We discuss a lot to do with our bodies here: the size, what they can do, how they feel, how they look, how we feel about them, how others treat us because of them…
But your body, the way you look, it is not all that you are. You are much, much more.
I’m enjoying learning about things and changing things on the outside. Transforming my life and body has and will continue to be a great process and adventure for me. But this quote is a great reminder that I’m not just what is on the outside. I’m not just what I weigh or how I look or anything physical that I might focus on sometimes. The majority of me? It’s things you can’t see, can’t touch, can’t quanity.
The same goes for you. You are much, much more than all of this. Remember that.
A little late Sunday reminder from me to you. Enjoy the new week. :)
Amen.

I guess that is part of the struggle. Out of site, out of mind. I am trying hard to keep myself focused on what I can’t see, and realize that all of it needs to be healthy and focused if I truly want to see results.
Cheers,

HAHA! I like that comparison.
Great post Mary, and a great thing to remember.
Preach it! You are right on!
So young, yet so wise. I did not have your brain when I was your age. You lucky duck.

Awesome. I’m also going through a personal revolution and have come to realize that all change stems from that unseen part of us and we focus way too much on the physical.

OH KUDOS TO YOU! How lucky you are to be realizing that now. I am 49 and all of that is FINALLY sinking in. Even though that is what I always tried to TELL myself, I honestly never believed it in my heart until just recently. KEEP IT UP!
