I wrote about that in my really horribly written book, Fuck The State. How I went from a youthful idealist thinking government was necessary to the hard realist I am today! I am not even the same person I was at that time, I look back on some of the statements I had made with utter disdain, 😂.
The personal growth and principles, for me, operated like a bee stinger: Personal growth pulled me one way, and there was a barb latching in, then principles pulled another way, setting barbs on the other side, perpetually pulling me deeper.
I had recently posted about a challenge I put myself to, in reference to my podcast about mental and physical fitness and survivability. The challenge for me is to work on the physical aspects, as I do engage my thinkin' meat disproportionally more. I do engage in a lot of reading outside of my personal philosophy, specifically to keep my mind agile and to seek useful nuggets where ever they may come from. Aside that I am trying to learn the ins and outs of energy accumulation, trying to get enough information together to make a Meditation series on off gridding power production.
Being kind to myself is not my area of expertise, it is something I am always working on, by and far I am more critical of my own thoughts and self than anyone else can ever be. It is frustrating for the haters, which does bring me a little joy 😂.
Now I am off to write my next Sermon, Sort of an open letter to the extremists/anarchists...
I love the bee stinger analogy. It sounds like you've developed an intuitive relationship with growth. A lot of times the challenge is knowing what area to focus on and how far to go with it before moving onto something else. It can be tempting to want ALL THE CHANGES RIGHT NOW, but that way lies madness (and burnout, and futility.)
I've been a little busy with the EBA launch and haven't been able to give as much time to reading blogs and listening to podcasts the past couple weeks. Bout to go check out your most recent offering on physical fitness.
Time and experience reveals all. Aron Ralston was quoted saying, "You never know what your limit is until you've gone too far." And I have had plenty of time to go too far and know where my limits rest.
I keep a schedule and pace that most people find unbelievable, but it has been the result of constantly testing my limits. I attribute knowing when to move forward with playing music and learning music, it is an experience that holds so much value outside of its own discipline.
Fundamental Changes:
