I’ve said it before that this year is one of growth and pain. Today, I’m stumbling and feel stuck, but it’s okay. I need to remind myself of that. Everything’s okay. See how far you’ve come so far.

Morning Reflection: I hope I'm becoming more humble and much less serious about myself. I know I have my pride and but everything in my recent attitudes have been in flux. Evening Reflection: Take compliments as they are given, don't overcompensate by trying to be too humble because that undermines your self-worth.

July 8th, 2022 — Follow along with my personal daily stoic journal, unfiltered, unedited (except for some spelling mistakes). Morning Reflection: My past mistakes, my resentments, my regrets. it is time to forgive oneself and take appropriate actions to work past them and become better and greater as you move forward.
