Start of it all
January 2nd, 2008
Just to introduce myself I am a 22 yr old guy and am at the starting line of what I am hoping will be a quest to becoming the best version of myself possible. As it stands now I am by no means a definition of a loser but having said that I am single, working a job I hate, living at home with my parents, overweight and out of shape.Not many people take the time to be brutally honest with themselves let alone in a public forum. I have decided to do so to hopefully gain some accountability and learn to write along the way. For far too long it has been far too easy to sit back and do nothing. This is something I want to change. I have sat down and developed a clear set of goals I am looking to achieve along the way. This way I can stay focused and keep the distractions to a minimum. The kind of things I am looking to achieve in a general sense are:
- Fitness and general health
- Travel
- Redevelop my social life
- Develop more financial responsibility
- Meet more women
- Read more and learn all new skills
- Learn to write naturally
- Work on my inner game and self image
Basically what this all comes down to is becoming the best version of myself possible by actively investing time and money in myself and my life, by learning from the mistakes of others, by emulating what the successful do and by working smarter not harder. I realise I am so incredibly far behind those who I respect and look up to. The kind of people I make time to read what they have to say. Someone like Ryan Holiday for example who at 20 is leaps and bounds in front of not just me but most people who have a good 10 years life experience on him. Then I remember these kind of people are the exception and not the standard. This is the very reasons that I make time to read them and listening to what they have to say.
Here is some pics which I just want to use as both a point of reference and as motivation to start running and training again.
