who are you

 *Who are you?* 🙋🏽‍♂️


प्रारभ्यते न खलु विघ्नभयेन नीचैः
प्रारभ्य विघ्नविहता विरमन्ति मध्याः ।
विघ्नैः पुनः पुनरपि प्रतिहन्यमानाः
प्रारब्धमुत्तमजना न परित्यजन्ति  ॥
_From BhartruHari's Neeti Shatakam_

*Meaning* - _Weak minded people do not begin anything at all due to fear of difficulties. Mediocre begin a work but abandon it no sooner obstacles come in their way. But strong minded person, though repeatedly hindered by difficulties, do not give up what they have once begun._

When it comes to changing the diet & lifestyle, some people don't dare to give it a try at all. One reason is the fear of trying out new things. The other is the inability to control the senses, especially their taste buds. Also the fear of losing relationships for changing their life for good. 

Some people start off nicely but stop it in the middle, again due to the inability to adjust to the new diet (which are actually healthy) and also the inability to cope up with the demotivation caused by others who don't follow healthy lifestyle. Also the fear of losing relationship for changing their life for good. 

Very few people stay strong & motivated and continue their journey to achieve good health even though they experience lot of obstacles and discouragements from their own family or friends. They give more priority to sareera dharmam than relationships. They understand that this body is given by God not to experience diseases by feeding senses stimulating foods to the body & mind BUT to do service to God, other beings and nature.

*SO WHO ARE YOU?* ❓❓❓
It will be nice if many of you reply to this question.
