This sub did what it said it would do, and there was an illumination in this short journey. I’ve recently started some challenging physical training with some military bros who are much stronger and skilled than I am.
If the recon was not enough, having all my cards illuminated in front of my social group in a gym was a big crush to my ego, however they swiftly pointed out to stop comparing myself in the moment because it was fueling my demise. Hard lifting and training is a great way to get in touch with and illuminate the shadows of the personality and inner world, because it’s a moment where we are faced with: overcoming weakness, power, testing confidence, taking a jump to the next level and overall a quantum leap to the breakthroughs we are seeking.
A great mitigating factor in this real-world, materialized reconciliation is the increase in respect for the intestinal fortitude to complete the transformation. The process is not glamorous and sexy and there’s no way to make ugly look any other way, except through the finish line.
As the first cycle is almost at completion and I embark on whatever experiment may be next, I celebrate a summit in personal development for growing more courage and utilizing it towards victory, for now, and into the future.
But yeah, it will get you laid.
