What are you doing right now in your life? Each day, what is your routine? Wake up, coffee, gym, work, home, dinner, bed, lather rinse repeat? Whatever it is, how do you know that this is the life you were called to live? The 9-5 grind, the frivolous day to day strive to play, or just the loafing into whatever the day gives. Each lifestyle represents with its repercussions, the parent who misses out on quality time with their children, the 20 something hopeful never reaching financial security, or the bum who just has a hard time getting off the couch. These routines need to be challenged to reach the goals we want to attain in our lives.

I'm finding more and more that this valley doesn't provide much opportunity for growth. It's a nestled little happy bubble in a security blanket that is our nation. The more I live here, the stronger I get physically, but intelligently weaker and weaker as the days roll by. Change is long past due, but hopefully the small steps I'm taking will open that door soon.
