Searching the Horizon

Are we living in a growingly detached world? A world where the only thing that seems to matter is money and significance? I don’t want to believe that, but from where I’m standing, it certainly looks that way.

Are we foolish, self-centered, or just deluded? I’m starting to think we’re all of those things, wrapped up in a little meat puppet, running tirelessly on a hamster wheel.

Talking about change while staying firmly planted exactly where we feel most popular.
Sad, but true.

Today feels like the right time to clean up both my mind and my training technique. A chance to reset after a day of external distractions. It’s okay to have those moments on average days, though. Not a bad day overall, but I did react to a few things I should have let slide.

Let’s move forward from here. Remember: it’s okay to live in your own bubble. No need to engage with everything, no need to react. Just stay in your lane, enjoy the ride, and do what you desire.

Lessons — do we really learn from them? The question keeps circling because, right now, I’m injured again. It feels like I’m moving from one injury to the next. And today, it got to me a little.

I know it’s part of the journey. But damn, the flow of these setbacks feels never-ending.

So once again, I find myself hamstrung in training. I’m still moving forward, but not at the pace I want. That’s just how it goes, I suppose. It’s rare you get exactly what you want. And to be honest, I’m okay with that.

Like everyone else, I had a vision for how this year would unfold. So far, it hasn’t quite followed the script.

But as always, the answer is there, somewhere — I just feel like I’m looking in the wrong direction. It’s time to zoom out, step back, and search the horizon for what’s been hiding in plain sight.
