Day 98
I was involved in an exchange on the forum earlier that has me doing some self-reflection. I've learned a lot over the course of the past 5-6 years through sub use and through comments made by forum members including, but not limited to, Shannon. There's a tremendous wealth information regarding the mind, self-improvement, and all things related. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to read/ponder/absorb this information and to interact with the very people that present it. This is a wonderful community of people that are seeking to better themselves. Sometimes we bear our souls to strangers that we've never met in an effort to better understand ourselves and to provide valuable information to the creator of the tools we use to our own ends. Because I've received so much here (even before I actually joined), I sometimes feel almost obligated to share my thoughts. But in reality, any situation other than my own is none of my business. We're all here for our own reasons and I have no right to intrude on anyone else's experience. If anyone reading this feels that I've done that, please accept my sincere apology. I am no better than anyone here. I'm just another guy trying to figure it all out and I learn new things daily.
My intent is to continue to learn about myself both through my own experiences and the experiences of others. IML subs are my primary tool. I and I alone, am responsible for my destiny. When I succeed, it's because of me. When I fail, it's because of me. If I fall somewhere in between, it's because of me. The more mastery I achieve over myself, the more mastery I have over my life. I do my best to hold myself accountable for it all.
