Addiction - Climbing over the Wall

The Rock said that he was tired of his eating habits so instead of stuffing his face, he was hitting the gym instead. While few of us become wrestlers and Hollywood super stars, we all have to 'climb over a wall' in one way or another. Each and everyone who comes here to earth is born with a tension - a restlessness - that requires identifying, solving and eventually, expressing. GOD is kind, for every challenge there is an outlet to express ourself. Guys like Dwayne 'Rock' Johnson or Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been born with an inner tension, but boy did they find an impressive way to express it.

The enlightened folks tell us that we are not our body, but aren't we glad that the Rock and Arnold didn't listen to them? All of us have these outlets that eventually become our life mission that allow us to make peace with our inner restlessness. That's why we go after our career, our degrees, our life-partner, or whatever else we think we need to do or to experience in order to make peace with our situation. Addiction is an energy that gets stuck within us, waiting to be resolved. Make a change just like Dwayne Johnson did and climb over this wall.
