August 28, 2010 - "Cleaning out the closet today... hoping for mental clarity"
Lots of things went through my head at that moment...
- Seriously? It's been a year already?
- WOW! I never expected this much change in search of mental clarity.
- How many times have I cleaned out my closet since then? What else have I cleaned out hoping for mental clarity?
- Do I really have mental clarity today?
Of course, I could spend this blog focusing on the challenges over the past year. But those are all documented in other postings - so I make this more like a celebration!
Or my typical mental self could focus on self-improvement in search of mental clarity... but I choose to appreciate the journey and not antogonize myself with perfection. This truly has been a lifestyle change and I am a different person because of this journey...
But the journey is never over - so here's a toast to this milestone!
- Challenging or Pushing yourself is important for continuous self-improvement, but achieving balance and harmony in life is where happiness happens.
- You can't love someone until you love yourself unconditionally.
- Don't waste time regretting the past - learn from it.
- Ego and Pride can make for a nasty bike wreck.
- You don't have to go on this journey alone - others have traveled the same road.
- Give back and help others who are starting out on their journey.
- I am an athlete because I pushed myself past self-imposed limits.
- I am a triathlete because someone was a true partner and encouraged me along the way.
