I keep going back.
To my former self.
To my old habits.
This is perhaps natural.
To the familiar me. To familiar experiences and habits. At the edge of the limits of my new awareness, I am pushed back and return again and again. Resilience is the uncomfortable truth of my regression to the past.
I set a goal to break through that limit and move forward.
I linger at that limit, return, linger, and return repeatedly.
The time of that repetition rigorously and strongly tempers me.
Everything is the same.
Exercise too.
Studying too.
Making money too.
Training too.
To become someone other than the me of yesterday, I must fight against and overcome this resilience, Clench both fists with the will to live a life completely different from yesterday, And persevere. Without giving up. Until the end. The easy thing is to return to yesterday. When I choose a life that doesn’t go back, When I have already entered a path of life from which I cannot return,
We must do it.
We must overcome this.
Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s words, “必死則生 必生則死” (If you seek to live, you will die; if you are prepared to die, you will live), also expressed that living is returning. That dying means becoming new. To be reborn onto a new path never before traveled, we must be prepared to die.
Do I face today with such resolve?
