Goals
- closer relationship to God- Today is the last chapter in II Corinthians chapter 13. Paul tells them they need to do some self-examination. They need to look inside and see if they are living according to their faith or are they fooling themselves? The time will come when they will be judged if they are truly living in the ways of the world.
- Get Fit/Strong- Today is a rest and reflection day, going over workouts for the upcoming week and adding weight. I want to make it harder as I think I don’t push myself enough. Today I did cardio and stretching.
- House organization- 15 minutes
- Write- I did 30 minutes
- Camper Reno- 10 min video
self-examination
I have been doing a ton of these over the beginning of this journey, and will continue it. What kicked this particular session off was chapter 12 and 13 in II Corinthians and a friend that I was talking to. Corinthians Paul is talking to the church about not fooling themselves, to really look inside and be sure they are living in faith. Then I was talking to a friend by text last night about potential. I asked if he thought he was living up to his. He said he knew he could do better. I said I did not think I was either. Then he said something that kind of shocked me. He said that I am all over the place. I never really felt that I was and still don’t think that this is accurate. I have had the same job of almost 8 years, live in the same place etc. I do like a lot of different things, chickens, guns, Jeeps, trucks etc. I feel that since we only communicate via text, he may have the wrong impression. I consistently am involved in all of those things. Though he did tell me that all those years of working 2 jobs, he always thought crazy. Ok I will give him that. Staying busy is not the same as getting things done, we have covered this. My point here is do you know what others perception is of you? I am in no way telling you to live by this but it is helpful to see what those around you think. Sometimes it can be an eye opener. We are not to live by the worlds standards but we have to live in the world. We look at ourself with skewed perceptions at times. I am just saying to ask someone that knows you what their perception is and think about it. Is this truly the impression that you want to give, maybe it doesn’t even matter? Many think I am out of my mind restarting the 75 hard as I already work out every day. This never gives me pause. I am on a mission to make myself better over this year in the 313 days left. Not only physically but mentally to. I feel this is the only way to really know yourself and stop telling yourself little lies to make you feel better. Self-honesty is the kindest thing you can do for yourself.
