“If we are to live, we must take risks. Else our lives become deaths in all but name. There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail — should we fall — we will know that we have lived.”
-Anomander Rake (Toll the Hounds)
This journal will detail the customs I make based around the Cores of Emperor Black, Dragon Reborn and Khan, the three Alpha titles that will help me be the man I desire to be.
The focus will be healing and integrating masculinity, leadership and freedom. There will be a series of customs that will proceed like the stages of a multistage. Basically a Custom ST1 and then a Custom ST2 and so on and so forth, building upon each other to maximize self-improvement. I will only put 2 Cores per custom in each stage and things will get clearer as I go along. No use planning all the customs in one go but I have a pretty good idea how they will be.
Along with that, I will have a Paragon custom (of course) and a skill-based main store title or custom based on titles like Renaissance Man and/or Quantum Limitless and/or Ecstasy of Gold and/or Revelation of Mind/Revelation of Spirit and/or…you get the gist. The latter main store title or custom will be something I can be flexible on so as to not be bored while I stick to my Alpha and Paragon customs.
There might be times I will go on a Paragon custom solo journey in this journal since I realize that that is my priority in my current circumstances. I have reconciled with the place I am in and have finally accepted that I should flow like water based on the situation I am in and move to greater heights from where I currently am rather than moving upwards from where I wish to be.
Now on to firing up my favorite text editor on my phone to compose my first custom for this journal.
