American Ninja Warrior Women

I watched the All Star Ninja Warrior women perform. I was happy to see that more women were picked to perform along the men. Even though they made mistakes, still good to see them taking chances.
Life is a chance. We either take risks or kick ourselves for not later on in life. Yes I made some risks that I shouldn't had but they were risks that I can say I did try.
As far as risks goes, I have done some risky things like: tandem skydiving in 2003, indoor skydiving 2011, tandem parasailing 2012, Skyjumping 2013, and rip cord 2015. I felt free during these and would love to do any of these again.
A risk I haven't taken is being vulnerable with Miriam. I know it will come in time, I can't rush the process.
Bottom line: It is good to take risks every once in awhile to explore life's possibilities.

Observation

I have noticed an observation: There are commercials dedicated to changing our appearances from weight loss to plastic surgery.
Message: We aren't good enough on how we look, we need to change our outward appearance.
However changing our outward appearance, may not change what is going on inside us. The hurt, the past rejections and not feeling good enough.
A lot of us use these messages to try and fix what we think is wrong with us, in the form of an eating disorder. Why? The eating disorder promises to change us and " make us better for society.

We need to know that we are enough! We don't need to change ourselves outwardly!
The change can come from within.
I am working with a great therapist that is helping me do that. It is a work it is a slow work in progress, but will not quit!
