I’ve rested on many laurels: Military/veteran/writer/spiritualist/warrior (this one is used so much many can’t even define it)…etc. While it’s great to pat my own back (5 minute time limit) or have a nice meal after an accomplishment, I have seen the danger of wallowing in certificates/titles/accomplishments (We all know what happened to Rome). Now my sole measure is whether I have taken action to improve THAT DAY. And yes, sometimes rest is a necessary step to improvement.
Every time I wake up, I try to forget how I’ve defined myself so I can be born anew.
