How Committing Made Me A Better Man
“I’m a grown-up now, and I value the training I had.” Christina Applegate
For most of my life I never really took anything serious. I would always be joking around with people without a care in the world.
Never did I think about my future nor concern myself with my finances or 401K or how much I drank on the weekends.
I was aimlessly drifting through life with no direction or sense of purpose.
Going on dates with only the thought of satisfying my own animal gratifications.
Drinking on weekends and staying out til 4 or 5 in the morning.
Spending money I did not have on useless items which brought no real satisfaction long term.
Lonely Feelings
Lonely feelings started to surface after years of this lifestyle. Time for a change I told myself.
I relocated down to South Florida and had ideas of girls in scantily clad bikinis and topless beach goers. How could anyone be lonely down here with all of the action that goes on?
The first few weeks the feeling was gone and I felt fantastic. But just like a temporary high from anything that gives you short term pleasure the feelings reappeared.
