Become?

What do you aspire to become? Not what you aspire to purchase, and not how rich and influential you desire to become. But, what is the essence of what you desire to become?

I cannot speak for you, but I will speak for myself.

First of all, I desire to become physiologically stronger. That means, stronger max output physical strength, bigger muscles, less body fat, and increased physiological energy and motivation. This is a reason why I am starting to become anti-restaurant, because it seems that they sneak sugar into everything. Even when I go to my favorite all you could eat Korean barbecue, they seem to find a way to sneak sugar into the salad, or even the kimchi.

Therefore this year, I will only trust my own food. To only trust the meat I cook for myself at home, which is frozen grass fed beef burger patties, and pasture raised eggs.

Focusing on my own self development

Another new thought: moving forward this year, I will only focus on myself, not others. I think it is the Christian in me that seeks to help others, especially when I think they need my help. But perhaps this is arrogant. Maybe it is wiser to consider that in fact, nobody needs my help. And ironically the best way I could help others is to help myself.

Even from a philosophical perspective, why do we like helping others? Because when we help others who we perceive to be less than us, we get a power surge.
