Day 2 of this 30 day challenge, and I have to admit, I am excited.
I am pretty pumped about all of this.
Today has been an awesome day thus far. I woke up without an alarm, had some food and walked downtown. Being home is nice. Fredericton is a cute little spot.
For breakfast I had a melancholy of goods. I had some veggies, an egg, a few grapes, some nuts... Oh the beauty of visiting family and scoping out a new fridge.
I had a conversation this morning that solidified some things for me. I was talking about how I feel regarding certain areas of my life. I was discussing how some of these areas create anxiety and don't seem to add any value in my life. I was mentioning that I am planning on cutting out these parts of my life. Initially I got a reaction that was along the lines of "you're running away" from these things. For a quick moment a pit erupted in my gut. I felt weird. Moments later, I realized that NO, it is not a cop-out. Instead I am creating a life that I want. I am choosing to keep the good in my life and also choosing to rid of the bad.
We are allowed to be selective. What good are we to this world if we are perpetually feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled with our day to day activities?
With some explaining and an extended conversation, I felt like I was able to communicate my views.
Why should anyone live a life that is not fulfilling? Why should anyone continue doing the same day-to-day activities if no one is benefiting? Why should anyone lead a life that is full of stress and unhappiness to prove a point?
Well, that would not be Living. So no one should.
We are human, and we are all entitled to finding our purpose, to living a life that is full of passion, love and excitement. We are meant to continue growing and learning as individuals. We are meant to explore our minds and push our limits while maintaining integrity in the choices we make.
My purpose in life is to the the best version of me that I can be. I am still trying to find that defined purpose, but I do know that I am on the path.
Happy Tuesday :)
I had a talk with Dr. K about "quitting", specifically about how "quitters never win" isn't really right. If you quit at the things that don't serve you, you give yourself space to win at the things that do! Props to you, girl!
ReplyDeleteReading this is making me even more excited for tomorrow night's conversation! I feel like we have much to discuss. Even though we are miles away we are definitely on some kind of amazing, common wavelength. Much of what you wrote has been floating around in my head the last little while. Can't wait to pick your brain. :)
ReplyDeleteExcited for you!
