I've mentioned before that things got sideways for me when I was living in autopilot - and a life on autopilot was only possible when making the comfortable choices in front of me.
I'm enjoying what is being exposed in this journey; I don't enjoy a life of too much comfort. I don't enjoy a life of excessive external things. It doesn't feel like living to me. When I look back on my life and when I felt the most alive, it usually involves a life structured around self improvement. I used to think this was a negative trait, to have such an extreme personality where I felt the need to restrict myself, or force myself to improve by doing things that most weren't. I'm now beginning to think it's the only way I enjoy navigating life. Driven by a purpose. Being honest and authentic to myself. A journey through life that is focused on how to get the best out of me -and maybe influence others around me that care to take notice.
The quote that has come to mind recently is how someone does one thing is how they'll do everything. By implementing a little discipline in my financial wellness, it's significantly helped my physical wellness - I've lost about 15 pounds since my heaviest point over the winter over the past few weeks. It's helped my social wellness, as it's urged me to communicate better with those close to me to help strengthen those relationships. It's motivated me to attack life with a purpose, instead of just floating through in the comfort canoe. A life on autopilot is not life at all.
I want to dedicate my future choices to challenge myself - a process of constant refinement.
