The Re-Up

My greatest fear in life is not realizing my potential and I have been deviating onto a path to making that fear reality. 

As I have noted in a couple of my most recent blog posts, I recently came to the realization that I have been spinning my wheels with minimal progress towards achieving my goals. 

Here is what I have been working on: 

Writing a blog post daily. 

Recording a video daily. 

Refining my discipline through bodybuilding. 

I have made progress on each of those goals. 

I have written a blog post every single day for over the last two months. Woot woot! 

I have recorded a video every day for the last month. Doing the activity here but I need to adjust the approach. 

I have made significant progress over the last 13 weeks bodybuilding. I have lost 25 lbs - checking myself out anytime I pass a mirror, gotten significantly stronger, gotten to practice a lot of discipline with my diet (added challenge of doing this vegetarian), amassed over 1,000,000 steps, and only have 8 more pounds to lose before I get to start my bulk. 

From the above, you can probably identify where I am proud of my outcomes and where I see myself needing to put in some additional work. 

That’s right! I’m the most proud of my video recording! 

Just kidding. 

This is definitely where I see myself needing to do the most work. While this has helped me practice being more making the time to record, I haven’t been very intentional about the content. 

Right now, it is a loose vlog format giving others insight into my daily life and thinking. 

While I believe this format has a lot of potential, it’s not exactly where I want to focus my attention nor a lot of my time. 

I am working on developing a curriculum to help people develop skills that they don’t learn in the standard American education system. 

While I have been ideating on this for the last month, I have made almost no progress. 

The content that I make here is going to feed my YouTube, potentially a podcast, and my website. Beyond that, it has the potential to make a tremendous impact on others! 

So it’s time to re-up my focus on this. 

I am going to continue writing blog posts (I enjoy this and it helps me to refine how I present my thoughts and ideas) and I haven’t even gotten to the most exciting part of bodybuilding yet—the bulking—which will go on for at least 8 months, so we get to layer the curriculum on top of those and work but I am excited to do so. 

I have been pushing, but not as hard as I can. I’m excited to push myself harder and to have more to show for the time that I have spent thinking about this. 

It’s time to get back on the pathway to my potential.
