I'm reading "The China Study", by Colin Campbell, and it has really convinced me to change my diet. Hopefully I'll reap the health benefits they've shown in 23 years of studying diets and nutrition in different parts of the world.

I also have a lot of baggage that needs sorted and left where it belongs. I have been waiting for the VA to recognize my claim, but I'm losing in faith in any part of that system being able to help me even if they do, so I may have to seek some help on my own.

I'd like a little more peace and quiet in my own head.

Well.. I could probably be a wee bit less sarcastic and less rolling of the eyes..
I am not sure if I am trying to improve it though. laugh



I understand. I actually like that side of me because it is my sense of humor, but maybe I need to wait till people get to know me a bit better before I start in with that because it's never intended to offend....but for someone who barely knows me I could easily be misinterpreted!

I know I can be strong for family and those I love. But for myself, It's just not in my nature to be a strong and independant person. I try, and I have a great network of girlfriends encouraging me. So I guess that's a work in progresswhoa

Is there anything better than the best,sweetest?:wink:

IDK prashant, is there? When do we say we no longer need to become a better person? I feel like I am always "becoming"

maybe that in itself is definitional - always improving my awareness - trying to be more beautiful on the inside while focusing outward more onto others...

I honestly don't have enough self awareness to begin self improvement


yes you do, ^that^ IS being self aware flowerforyou


thank you

an awareness of needing to be self aware is a good start

things like taking care of physical self with diet and exercize I have always understood

but for me, it's time to look into my heart now while continuing to care for the physical and feed the intellectual

Are you actively working on becoming a better person? What are you trying to change or improve? Any successes out there?


I'll start (but then I have to run some errands and will be back later)

I honestly don't have enough self awareness to begin self improvement - so I think that's where I am now...becoming more self aware. Ultimately I think it will make me a better personflowerforyou


I'm always trying to make myself better. Going to college, learning new technology at work (being more productive), whatever it takes.

I try and see things through others eyes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't, but I try.

Plenty of successes.happy

I used to be big into sports. I still watch them but have not been playing as much the last 3 years. When I started studying I didn't have the time between working as well.

Been thinking about it a lot lately. I really miss playing Gaelic. So I'm planning on a return soon.

I start Military Fitness Bootcamp next week and I can't wait!

Bring it on bigsmile

yes I know, but it is still a good question. I like the concept of infinity, lack of closure and I look for those things to learn from. Humans seem to need closure but I think we can learn from infinite concepts .333333333333flowerforyou :wink:

so the best is an idea not a tangible reality - in striving to become the best we can be we simply become better. but now that is telling me something good!flowerforyou

sounds like a lot of fun, your boot camp - enjoy!

Oh, and I meant to add, that sports taught me so much more than I was "aware" of (there's that word again) at the time - mental preparedness, mental focus, positive belief in self - in doing the impossible

I learned all of those positive self talks in sports but it took me years to realize the value

Thanks in part to my new girlfriend who I will be moving in with soon by years end, I am wishing to become a stronger, fitter person, and one who can defend myself and my loved ones if need be. She makes me want to become a true man. Gonna be a hell of a ride, but excited to start the journey.

thanks for sharing

the people who we let into out lives certainly do motivate us and sometimes help see things about ourselves
