is it a Reflection or Shadow

Date: 21st Oct 2023

For a long time, I was not able to stabilize my thought process as there were a lot of things happening. I was living life but without any particular direction. Today, I got a chance to reflect back on the past and stir a direction for the future.

While doing the usual night walk, finally I decided that I was going to note down a few good and bad things that I have started recently (recently means 2-3 months back, because I could not get time to jot down things).

The good part comes first

Health: I have started working out in the gym and it has shown a good impact on my mind and body. I feel happy and motivated after working out.
Expressing myself: Earlier, I used to be a very quiet and shy guy whenever a conversation used to be going on in a larger and unfamiliar group. Nowadays, I try to involve myself in those conversations and express my opinion or even start a point that the group can discuss and build on the conversation.
Travel: In the last 6 months, I traveled across different cities in India (Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Mumbai, Raipur, RamaNagar (near Bangalore), Paithalmala (a hill station in the Kannur district of Kerala), Mulki (earlier known as Moolikapur, turned to Mulki is in Mangalore district of Karnataka). I also got to enjoy Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket) on the bachelor trip.

The bad part comes next

Health: I would not say excessive but definitely need to reduce a few things and stop after some time. [ Cig, Wee*, Party, N****Outs]
Goals: I was not able to plan for the longer term with a good success rate. Either I was not planning for it or had planned but not properly planning with execution. I have seen the impact of this in multiple places and times.
...

Future actionable (priority:

To plan for long-term but short-term goals that are achievable and show progress with a long-term view.
Continue health and express yourself but reduce travel so other things are not impacted.
Keep writing, capturing, and smiling 😆 because you are mortal and you never know when is the last moment of your life. [that's why GOD envies YOU]
