Daily Meditation 1,145–4/26/2025

I often write these DMs in various ways as messages appeal and resonate for different people in stronger or weaker ways.

We certainly KNOW we all want to be better people. Duh.
Or, at least I think you and everyone else aspire to be better!

I struggle with discipline. That’s my majormost foible.

I have wonderful discipline with some things:

I go to the gym 4–6x a week.
I get 13,000 steps probably 355 days of the year.
I’m pretty good about water intake.

But boy.

Put a Reese’s PB cup long john in front of me? Oof. Thanks, Kwik Trip.

Give me a migraine? Any excuse to not hit the gym.

Feeling mentally “Blah?” Aside from the DMs, I’ll skip any other writing, even if its my next book (working on NOW!).

We are creatures of comfort and ease. And we can blame our ancestors lol.

2,000–5,000 years ago when a next meal was not guaranteed out of mom’s oven with a side of peas and fresh bread, we did less to conserve energy.

It’s easy to justify our excuses. And frankly, call a spade a spade — they are excuses!
