My motivation dried up a few years ago, but I've been seeing small glimmers of it recently. OFv3 is beginning to open my eyes to other possibilities that I've had a tendency to overlook. Overall, I'm getting better at seeing shades of gray instead of boiling everything down to black and white. In fact, I'm seeing this in multiple areas of my life now. Along that line of thought, I know that I can be in better shape than I am now without having to fight for a fitness model physique. My mind is opening to the idea that I don't have to be ripped or flabby, but that I can expend a reasonable amount of energy to accomplish a reasonable goal somewhere in between.
I'm still a long way from where I'd like to be, hence words like "beginning to" and "opening to idea". But I see where OFv3 seems to be pointing me and I think the end result will be a more fulfilling life overall. It's difficult to adequately communicate my thoughts in a post, but I think I can summarize it all by saying that I'm starting to see layers upon layers of how I've limited myself by the "either / or" thinking I described above.
