resolute

sacrifice

I woke up again early this morning, naturally waking before 5am. But I didn't get up. The idea of sacrifice, the sacrifice of my sleep (even though I am already awake and not too successful at falling back asleep), of getting up in the even darker, colder morning, just doesn't appeal to me. 


I go to the gym almost every day. This sacrifice of time has value to me. I see the difference in my body, mood and energy levels. I feel good and miss it when I can't go.


I read lots of books, probably two a week. This sacrifice of time has value to me. I am learning new things, and being entertained. This week I have already read If This is a Man and The Truce by Primo Levi.


I try to blog every day. This sacrifice of time has value to me. My blog documents my life and spiritual journey and helps me to organize my thoughts and delve into them more deeply. One day I would like to write professionally and writing every day will help build the necessary skills.
