After my workout today I got home and went to the bathroom, because I had been holding a pee in the bathroom-less weight room for a good half hour. On the way up the stairs I pulled off my shirt because I had worked up a good sweat and it was sticking to me. Anyway, after my very relieving piss I took a good look at myself in the mirror and had an epiphany. What alcoholics would call a "moment of clarity."
It occured to me that there is a very powerfully uplifting side-effect to being on a self improvement kick like I've been on lately. You can look your self in the eye and say to yourself:
Damn, self, you have never looked better.
Call it arrogance. Call it narcissim. Call it whatever you like, but consider the truths behind it. I have been working very hard in the gym for a few months and as of right now I am most literally in the best shape I have ever been in.
Plus I have been reading more, writing more, brushing up on my Spanish and Italian, and even learning Japanese. Today I am more knowledgable, and more productive than I have ever been before.
Wow. I am the best version of me that I have ever been. And tomorrow I'll just work to create an even better version of me. I guess that's the point of the epiphany; this is what life is all about. Becoming the best version of one's self that one can possibly be.
Reminds me of a RadioHead Song
