That’s always been one of my favorite quotes, and now a days, I feel like it’s a huge theme in my life.
Hidden weakness are now being brought to light, begging me to upgrade the way I live, and the way I see myself, my life, and the world around me.
Take for instance weed. I’ve been a heavy smoker for over a decade, and have used it as a tool to help me work, relax, sleep, and find joy. If you were to ask other people, they might say I’ve used it as a crutch. I never thought so, but apparently that’s a thing.
Now that I’m in Mexico, and don’t have access to weed, I’m finding that my affinity for the herbs could be seen as a weakness.
That being said, that weakness can not persist. I need to fortify me soul and find new ways to reach that state, that ganja brought me so easily to.
I know that with essential oils and meditation, I can achieve those states. It might not be as enjoyable from the get go, but I’m willing to sacrifice my animalistic desires, to live a more aligned life.
I’m willing to improve my mindset and habits, to improve my quality of life- even if it makes me feel uncomfortable. Because guess what! Growth occurs outside our comfort zones, and I’m willing to be uncomfortable, if it helps me upgrade my life.
