Wow.
So here we are, well into the 5 day challenge now, and I’ve come across some pretty crazy realisations about my life and self.
No #1- I LOVE Food
I will never be looking at another piece of food the same way again after this. I have taken for granted every day that I can eat whatever I want, when I want, how I want! It is a massive privilege to be able to have access to a stocked pantry, and a healthy wallet to go down to the shops if nothing at home is taking my fancy.
No #2- I’ve got it SO good
The major, most ‘bomb-like’ realisation that has dropped on me so far this week is just how incredibly blessed I am to live the life I lead. And I can’t help but think about those who have no choice other than to live this way. During this challenge so far, it has gotten difficult. It has been a struggle (Even though it’s only day 3!)
And I’m only giving up the one thing – food. I still have access to running water, my car, my friends, family, tv, internet, toiletries…And the list goes on.
I live in a beautiful home in a lovely neighbourhood, and can’t help but think that even without food, my life is still pretty darn great.
I have a new found appreciation for everything that I have, and hope that by the end of this challenge I can be the sort of person that doesn’t waste the opportunities presented to her. To not waste the abundance I have been given.
To not step-down from helping others when I have the opportunity or chance.
