You are who you practice to be

The only way to get faster is to go faster
The only way to lose weight is to eat less



Simple sentences; they make sense. The reality though is very difficult. It is very hard to make changes even though you know what you need to do: eat less, healthier; exercise; meditate; no excesses. Our culture focusses on pull up your bootstraps; 'man up' 'deal with it'; this same culture discourages critical thinking; encourages empty escapism - such as skateboarding on your computer. We focus on independence while creating a society that does not go deeper than sound bites.
