It is strange that I just started this blog post with the last thing I would end it with. Then again, this is truly a moment of self respect, self trust, and gratitude. I believe firmly that I have found a way to get in shape without the hassle of going to the gym and hurting myself as I listen to a male buff telling me to jump on the machines over and over again.
It's boring.
What I have found is no secret. It is simply a work of art. Curious? I'll tell ya!
I have nothing to hide from you. I am here to share the notion of experiences that I am going through as I enjoy them.
A few weeks ago, I posted a tweet with this picture:
It's no mystery. It's just something that I decided to hop on and accept as a challenge. Or rather, an opportunity to grow better, stronger, faster, and become more... Enlightened!
This is a fitness program called Insanity. It is fully instructed through a series of DVDs by Shaun T. At first, I thought this was going to be one of those passive fitness programs. I was completely wrong. This is by far, the most entertaining fitness program I have ever followed.

Onto the main notion of this post: The Core.
When I speak of The Core, I usually relate it to our personalities. I am deeply fascinated by how our cores operate. Only because I believe that we are all truly beautiful within regardless of our actions. People act in a certain way due to past experiences and the growth of the conditioned mind aka the ego.
However, The Core that I am referring to here is the physical core. It is the center of your body. This:
One of the things that Shaun T constantly reminds you of is to keep your Core contracted. My God! I never realized that we have such strength within. I'm not talking muscle wise. I am talking aura. Energy. Mental state.
It's beautiful.
The Core, in my opinion, is every body's personal true strength. It is your physical and mental strengths combined which give you your power. Your ability to take action regardless of the time frame that action is aimed at. The more you focus on your core, the more you are empowered. Look deep into yourself. Discover your potential. It's a very light, tingling sensation that you will feel when you are sitting in silence, in peace, in serenity, as you focus on the life within you. Imagine it now. Imagine yourself sitting in your most comfortable place and simply grasping every inch of attention then directing it to your core. Can you feel it? Can you feel that power? If you thought you were powerful, think again. No. FEEL again! If you can't feel it, then imagine yourself feeling it.
The more you focus on your Core, the more you feel that sense of achievement. That POWER!
And here I am, sitting comfortably, in my chair at home... Like a King! the kind of King who just ruled a nation with the purpose of peace, gratitude, power, and love. If you know how that feels, then you are consciously aware of your core. If you haven't, get excited! You are about to unleash the power within!
Good job!
