I was thinking earlier tonight on my way to starbucks that james will have plenty to say about me doing bollywood dancing. He’s always amazed that I’m putting myself out of my comfort zone and sees that as a big step toward improvement. I recently had a moment of clarity where I started thinking that I’ve spent most of my life unhappy with things how they’ve been and as I’ve grown up, I’ve looked back and realized that I had it good when I was complaining the most, that I should be happy for what I have now. So I’m going to be excited to talk to james and tell him my new revelations about life. I’m going to have to CONSCIOUSLY be grateful for what I have instead of grousing about what I don’t.
With that being said tho, I wonder if being happy with what you have actually diminishes desire to improve or become a better person. I suppose that being grateful and happy and satisfied doesn’t have to translate to complacent. That’s something I’m going to have to figure out.
Life is a fucking delicate balance…eat enough, exercise enough, and lose weight. Change one of the variables and you either gain or lose. I’m trying hard to figure out that balance in terms of weight loss and in terms of being happy or satisfied with who I am. To continually try new things but stay true to who I am, to try the new things and feel challenged without being overwhelmed and still get something out of it.
God not having internet sucks.
