5 days and counting till Scale the World

Lesson number one for today is this:
Do not beat yourself up.
Let me be honest -- that round mountain
is a heck of a climb. You know it, I know it,
and everyone who is already up there and
waiting for you knows it.
Those who have backslid and are now
having to scale it again with a few injuries
know it.
But, that's okay. Really.
The key is to not beat yourself up any more
than the climb itself. That alone is enough
to endure. Hey, it's fun, but it's tough --
so don't feel the need to make it harder by
weakening the only person making the
journey.
You simply must stop harming our number
one climber -- you. We need "you" for this
endeavor. Having a depressed, nay-saying
you will do us little good. We need a you
that's willing to forgive.
That's right -- I'm asking you to forgive
yourself. Right now. Forgive your body for
doing what your mind has asked it to do,
or perhaps what your genes have told
it to do. It's only trying to follow through.
Often times this means storing more fat.
Many times, as you'll see when "Scale
The World" starts in 5 days, YOU are the
one telling it to store fat. That's not really
what you want to do, now is it?
Sometimes it's your genes, and they may
need some help from the power of your
mind to "re-program" a bit. Don't worry --
we'll cover how to do this in due time.
For now, all I want you to do is say this...
oddly enough, to your own body:
"Thank you for taking me this far. I realize
you are only doing what you're told by
my mind and my genes, and I'm dedicated
to learning what's really best for you in
both areas. Let's work together from today
on and scale this world as one."
Sound silly?
Try it.
Forgiveness is massive. The sheer energy
that fear, hate and anger generate is
astounding, and that energy is like a huge
magnet "pulling you down to earth."
Our goal is to climb above what we think
our limitations are...to scale our own
world. A larger world than we imagine.
A greater world than we have dreamed.
We cannot have this excess weight, so
please -- cut it loose, right now.
While you're at it, see what other excess
weight you can cut loose before we start
our ascent.
See who else you can forgive.
Take this to the bank -- the journey to
excellence begins with a clean mind, and
forgiveness is the eternal cleanser.
Drink that water, eat that clean, simple
food, and get set...
