Being frightened is a good thing. I think you are in the right place in your life right now for some amazing things and I very much look forward to hearing your experiences. I think you are right.

I'm thinking though that perhaps the very fact that this realization does 'frighten' us is a good sign that we'd likely not allow ourselves to enter into such a state permanently...?....haha...then again, maybe this is simply my way of temporarily consoling myself while I spiral into an apathetic state unparalleled to anything I've yet experienced!...I'll keep ya posted! :) lol…so funny Jeremy that you say “It actually frightened me”…..I must admit, the length of time I’ve been in this place of ‘no set exercise program, no meditation, no real schedule’ has kind of got me a bit freaked out too!!

It's interesting that you said that. I did an experiment recently which involved me doing absolutely nothing for a few days. Nothing but wasting time with TV and games. I found that after a few days of this that I was starting to shift my philosophy and thinking and it became more natural to watch TV and play games. It actually frightened me and I had to rip myself from the habits that were forming. You're right about needing to 'really' be ready and motivated to live a life involving the necessary habits for greatness. It can't be forced. Hi Faye. It’s interesting that you said that.

You’re right about needing to ‘really’ be ready and motivated to live a life involving the necessary habits for greatness. It can’t be forced.

It's interesting, with my kids home for the summer, I'm really seeing how a change in daily habits can detract from my ability to set and accomplish goals. I've let so many of my usual practices 'slip' recently. Such things as my exercise program, meditation, writing schedule, frequency of drinking alcohol.....the inclusion or absence of these things lead me to feel kind of like I'm spinning in circles. While I recognize what I'm doing, I'm not quite at the place where I'm choosing to enact change. This is not a place I'm too familiar with it and can only imagine that perhaps I'm allowing myself to experience it in order to fully see the contrast between the two states of being. I do know that I'm nearing a point here where I'll be fully motivated to once again embrace those daily rituals and habits that best serve my greater intentions. I find personally that unless I'm 'really' ready and motivated to do so, change is often short lived.....The good new is,I'm actually becoming excited at the prospect of buckling down and adhering to some truly life enhancing daily disciplines. This excitement is an important factor imo. It's so great how sharing these similarities about the inner workings of ourselves can help us to focus our goals so much better....Thanks!

I think it's so true that people can tell a lot about us within a few minutes of talking to us. Our daily disciplines usually shine through. Thanks so much for pointing out this very important point! Take care! Hi Jeremy,
