Recently, I have been going through a transition (physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually). The physical attribute of transition stems from my more intensive training in the gym. I was working out before, but now, I am taking my training a lot more intensely. The 5-day workout schedule with the 2-mile run (done daily), included with a circuit of supersets, and the change in my diet have been in transition over the past month. Results are definitely noticeable by now; I will continue to push my body physically to the levels of extreme athleticism which I once had in college. I'm a long way from running 3 miles 5 times a week like I did in college; I know soon I will be back at that again.
The elements of my mental and social connect together like corresponding shapes; I am generally a very quiet person in a crowd at large, but can be extremely brash with my words when spoken. I have engaged in many interactions with others lately, and I have realized that it's better to just let some individuals believe their own thoughts as right on things even when they are wrong. Two years ago, I had to have the last word in every argument. Now, I let the other person believe what they shall because at the end of the day (whether you prove them wrong or not), most people do not know how to admit when they are wrong. From this, I have become more nonchalant in my approach (as if I wasn't nonchalant enough as is).
I grew up in a Baptist church as a kid, and I would say it has been since the age of 21 or 22 years old since I stopped being religious. As I stated in a blog I wrote two years ago, I see religion as a form of control over a multitude. For me saying this, most people would blatantly call me an atheist. It's sad how in the world at large, if you do not pick between two groups (democrat/republican, a fan of this/a fan of that, etc.) people slate you as an outcast. I merely see church as being good for fellowship; I believe in God, not religion. Most people cannot decipher the difference between the two (God and religion). Spiritually, I am gaining a greater understanding of whom God is. God (to me) is the one true entity that allows life everyday. God is with me when I'm in a hardship; God is with me when I need someone to talk to. I have a spiritual relationship with God. I am not trying to belittle anyone for their own personal religious beliefs, but please, do remember that God gave you your own mind to think for yourself. I respect all people's beliefs on religion, God, and spirituality, but know that I have a stronger relationship with God than I do with any religion.
