I think in the past few years I’ve really grown as a person. I hit some pretty serious milestones. I’ve tackled and overcome some serious hurdles. Done a lot of introspection, though I’ve always done that. I like to think I’ve made a significant amount of progress. Some days, though, I feel like perhaps I haven’t moved at all.

I liken it to running on a treadmill. I feel the burn of my lungs, my stamina increase, each footsteps. I set my breathing. I get into the ‘zone’ and I feel like I can run longer and longer distances, but then I stop and I realize I haven’t actually moved anywhere at all.

So while, yeah, I’ve increased my stamina and resiliency some, if I haven’t actually moved anywhere, have I really made any progress at all? How do I make sure I am actually moving, and that I’m not just on a treadmill?

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written anything here, not that I really expect anyone to look at it. It hasn’t been for a lack of introspection.
