Well, this is the beginning. 2008. A time of change. I’m new to the concept of the Blog. I prefer to think of it as a digital diary. I need to change my life. Of course, life, almost by definition is change, so I guess I’m already successful. I have set up the following direction to my change:
- I want to be healthier
- I want to have less pain
- I want to be a better husband
- I want to be a better father
- I want to be a better martial artist
As Sifu says (often enough that it stayed in my head), when climbing a mountain, don’t decide exactly what point to which you are going to climb, first decide on the mountain, and then the area you would like to be. I’m not going to set an exact point – like I want to lose 30 lbs. Yes, I could use to lose 30 pounds but that won’t necessarily make me healthier.
This is my path in the previously mentioned direction:
- Eat better
- Exercise more
- Meditate
- Abandon anger
- Be accountable (hence the blog)
- Get rid of my worst habit: the need of always being right and the embarrassment that goes with it.
If someone should end up reading this, I promise the following:
- It will be funny. What good is the written word if it has no humor?
- I will not use foul language. After all, anyone could be reading this
- I will site sources. I plan on bringing up any health related topic that has helped me.
- It won’t just be about one thing. I plan on blabbing my mouth (or my fingers) about every topic I want to talk about. Anything from politics to exercise to Zen.
So this is my Diary of Change. Thanks for joining me.
