Fasting
I'm so happy and grateful now that my month fast is finally over. As a spiritual master, it's imperative that I fast. This fast lasted for a month. I couldn't eat or drink anything while the sun was up. I couldn't engage in any type of sexual activity: sex, oral sex, masturbation, etc. I could consume any alcoholic beverages or drugs. This fast was indeed one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but it leads me to other fast that I plan on doing.
There were millions of moments when I had to say no to food that was offered to me. There were nights when I wanted to contact women and, well you know. There were moments when my stomach started hurting because I was so hungry; I went to sleep. I would take 3 to 4 hour naps, wake up realizing that I still have 3 hours until the sun goes down. Now, don't get me wrong. There were moments that I broke the fast. No excuses. I was fully aware of each moment. I take full responsibility of each one. This was such an incredible experience.
To be honest, it's hard for me to say no to food, sex and money. I had to say no to sex and food for an entire month. It made me stronger, wiser, more aware, more disciplined, more conscious towards my decision makings and more determined to reach my goals in Life.
The grandest lesson that I've learned is a compassionate and gratitude one. I thought about the millions of families across this world that are starving and enduring famine. It's very heartbreaking and sad. It was hard for me to last 12 hours of a day without eating, I couldn't imagine not being able to eat for days or weeks. My love and support goes out to those families. I want you all to know that I'm on a mission of no wars, no starvation, no crime and no hate.
Thank you for reading. I love you and God loves you.
It's #KingdomTime :)
