Good Evening Cage friends,
Boy what a difference a day can make!! Today was absolutely tremendous.
In so many different ways without anything changing all things have.
I just finished my 4 nights which means I now get a sweet week off. When I arrived home I took some time with my slave to evaluate my budget. Needless to say for the first time I was able to see and understand what progress I am making. Its about taking simple steps but holding to them. The reason this was so pivotal was because for the first time after looking over what actual numbers are I could see the path forward. It radically shifted my view and today my house became my home.
To prepare for life and all the good things coming I realized that when my slave arrives she will care for my property. She is immaculate and will do an extraordinary job, but I realized something. My actions will dictate to what degree "is okay" for me. How clean do I like my house? How will I take care and keep my yard? What things will I do and work at improving such that she has a clear picture of *this is the standard I keep and I expect you to meet this minimum requirement*. It will be plain and visible by the manner in which I keep my home. Yes she is aware she is helping to improve this area of my life. I'm not a cleaner/organizer. I dont do these tasks well and I am asking her for her help in this area because she is superior. She has strengths where I do not. I would be a fool not to take advantage of where she is strong.
But as I realized and saw the future of where I am and what it can be I made a decision in my heart today. I am home. I can make this home mine absolutely.
When I left to go grab my mail today I stopped by my neighbour who spends a lot of his time outside. I began a conversation with him because I saw a shift in what my future requires. I was able to reach out and begin building a connection because I saw long term benefit from having/creating friendships with those who are my neighbour's. They are all really amazing people and they are part of my community.
I was able to walk with confidence and be my goofy weird self today grabbing my mail. These people get to know and see who I am as my own individual. The life I choose to live will become apparent by the choices and decisions I make. You can stare and chuckle and ask "Why is he walking so weird?" "What ungodly horrendous noises is he trying to make?" But those parts are just me, they are areas I am pursuing and am making improvement in. I am dedicating myself to a small number of skills to grow and become a master of those things.
I am narrowing my focus and spending my precious time in areas that make life awesome for me. Today I made progress in my physical health. Today I made progress in my mental outlook. Today I made progress in discipline. I also made progress in allowing myself to be less disciplined. I strongly believe there needs to be a balance within the life you live.
Recently I have set myself a new system of eating. I eat 2 meals a day, and I set a calorie limit of roughly varying sizes. By keeping to this plan I have inched my way closer to reaching 175 pounds and my end goal is right around 170. If I could make it there I would be exactly where I need to be to feel fulfilled in my effort and to get the results I am looking for in my calisthenics. I have been making steady progress but today I also allowed myself some snacks and have gone well over the self imposed limit. I celebrated me and my accomplishments and tomorrow I get to live in my disciplined state and return back to the system that has proven effective for me.
I have also for the first time in my life intentionally managed to perform a draw shot in golf. I went out and practiced at the little park by my house and as I am developing and learning the mechanics of my short game I set about a challenge for myself. Over my night shift I watched a bit of YouTube about improving my golf game. Learning different things. Elevating the approach with which I desire to play this game. I want to get competitive. I want as many tools to yield results on a course. So I attempted to complete 1 draw shot and 1 fade shot. There were these two wooden posts set in the ground for lines that run about 50 yards away from each other. I set my ball in line with both posts and wanted to hit right of the first and have the ball turn and end left of the second. I managed to make this happen today. Although I did not manage to hit the fade shot. But I will continue to practice and it will come. I happen to have a tournament that I am playing at the end of the month for my work and I am determined to be a great benefit for my team in short game and on the greens. I really want to take first and I believe that the training and effort to practice will bring about the results I desire. I'm very excited to see my growth in the next month.
Anyways just a bit of a check up/ look in at life and where things are going. But its June.... My slave will soon be here and I am very excited for what this summer will hold for U/us.
