Fasting For Change
Some people fast for health reasons. Others fast to lose weight. And there are those who choose to take the challenge of the Master Cleanse for change. What kind of change you ask? The kind of change that only happens when you’re up against the rope - against all odds. It’s the kind of change the Master Cleanse calls for - a change at a spiritual, physical and mental level.
You see, most people in this world go without really testing themselves. Often, they let complacency win over their dreams and hopes, and ultimately, people choose to be just another average person. It’s a harsh reality - especially when the person recognizes the truth. But then there are those who take on the different challenges that life poses upon all of us at one point or another - from following your dreams to overcoming hardships - everyday we are tested in small to big ways.
The master cleanse itself is another test. It’s a test of will, faith, and dedication. Those who complete the master cleanse often speak about change. You read or hear about how after they successfully completed their diet, they not only felt physically better, but often the intricacies of life itself became more lucid. Now, let’s be clear on a couple things. The master cleanse is not some magical ride that totally transforms a person from one minute to the next. It’s a challenge - a challenge that not many people choose to take. When you think about the notion of not eating for a day, it can really seem outrageous. Many people I’ve personally talked to have expressed that “it’s way too crazy” for them. Yet others have recognized that although it wouldn’t be easy, it wouldn’t be impossible either.
Interestingly, but not unpredictably, those who returned positive feedback about the master cleanse - those willing to take on the challenge - were not your average person. They were people who had shown signs of dedication and a sense of pride. Pride that only comes with those who have challenged themselves in life, and have been successful enough times that they carry a special swagger to them. Yet those who often called the master cleanser “crazy” or “way too difficult” were people who had never really done something significant - people who never failed, but never really succeeded.
The master cleanser poses a very important question we must all ask ourselves - can I change? Can I do what it takes to complete this grand test? Only those who welcome change, inner change, will be able to complete this mission. Pass this test and no matter what happens afterwards, you will have a special sense of confidence, because you did what others chose not to even try. It will instill a sense of pride and give you the motivation you need to get through the many challenges of life. It will assure you that no matter what happens in the future, you will be able to change and adapt to whatever is thrown your way.
Life is truly unpredictable. If there has been one constant from the first second the Earth was constructed, it has been change. If this world whose air we breathe, water we drink, and skies we gaze upon, is changing, then we must be ready to change with it. The master cleanse can be that first step for you in the quest for inner change - a change that can guarantee your survival and success in this complicated and ever-changing world.
