I Have Been Up To My Head

Truthfully, Everyone Knows How To Eat Right. They Know The Difference Between Oatmeal And A Jelly Cream Doughnut. They Know How To Walk. Everyone Has This In Their Brain. When I Started, We Didn't Have All This Knowledge.

I'm 64, But I Act Like I'm Still 12. I Go To Schools. At Colleges, They Come Out In Droves, They Almost Scare Me. I Think It's Just To See If I'm Still Alive. After I Work Them Out - And It's Not Easy - I Sit Them Down And We Have A Serious Talk. Are They Eating? Working On Their Body? I Can Say Things Parents Won't Say. No Matter Where I Go, I Talk To Each One Individually After I Teach. They Tell Me Things Like, 'i'm Starving, Guys Like Girls Thinner.' I Give Them Concrete Advice About Self-image And Self-worth.

Most Workouts Are Way Too Aggressive. Thousands Of Lunges Wear Out The Body. It's Not Healthy For The One With The Bad Back, Bad Knees, Diabetes. I'm Never Going To Do That.

When I Go To Bed At Night, I Ask God To Give Me Another Day; I Ask Him To Keep Me Strong And Make Me A Good Teacher And To Keep Spreading This Right Word.

That's What The Majority Of People In The World Do, They Walk Among The Ruins Of Their Life. Things That Didn't Work Out, Relationships That Went Sour, Jobs That Disappeared. All They Can Think About Is Their Ruins, And When You Focus On That You Can't Build A New You.
