My 20 day juice fast experience turned into... well, nothing I expected,. fortunately?

Don't be fulled by the title, it's not like anything bad can happen from fasting on juice, but you all know very well that if you set your expectations high and fail... wait wait wait, no, I must stop thinking that I failed 'cos I did lose weight and I have to keep a positive mindset and.. and.. oh dear I feel so lost in all this! 

Have you ever felt this way? 

How on earth am I supposed to keep a positive mindset and somehow "lie" to myself that I am NOW the person I WANT to be when everything indicates otherwise. I watched "The secret" I read dozens of self improvement books and I got it all except the fact that I have to "lie" to my senses, and deny the figure I see in the mirror and imagine I have the abs and ass I want and... wait WHAT? No! I am a logical being, as we all evolved in one, and I believe in things I can touch, hear, smell or see, but on the other hand I always keep an open mind for the "unseen" and hope that it will finally manifest my dreams.

So am I fooling myself by hoping?

Is hope what dooms us?

Or maybe I am not fooling myself and better IS coming, just now is not the right moment for me to receive that "better"? 

I have been thinking about this lately a lot and by the situations and events around me I think everyone gets what they are ready to accept at a certain moment, and that is it, nothing more, nothing less, only the main thing we lack of and suffer is the patience. We just don't have it. We want everything and we want it NOW! Or at least the sooner the better. Well my friend, obviously the world does not operate like that.

Here on earth we've became too much body too little soul. Everything is physical. We indulge in our temptations - many times aware that we are doing the wrong thing - and we fool our selves, silence our consciousness with the well-known phrases "You only live once" or "Just this time I promise" or "One more time and I'm done" and by that not realizing that we are distancing ourselves from the higher US that can provide us with everything we need. If only we stopped looking, we stopped hoping, we stopped imagining, just by living in the what they call NOW. 

Now is the time the reader should ask hey I came for the juice fast experience not this c*ap about purposeless hoping and higher I-do-not-know what! And they would be right cos I had the intention on writing all about it (and maybe I will) but my mind wondered and wandered in other - still related) - stuff and I went with the flow (cos this is my piece of the -still- free internet and I am -still- free to write what I want).

Keep an open mind and thank you for reading.
