Self Growth 2.0 Week 2

One thing about being on the move is the constant struggle to adjust to a newer environment and the tasks that need to be done. It's a journey of understanding why my progress has been halted all these years. Moving too much disrupted my ability to establish a routine, but not moving can also lead to stagnation. It's a delicate balance that I've finally learned to navigate.

Perhaps it's simply a skill issue, but being nomadic way too early has its cons, which are something I heavily pay these days. Switching between places and having zero commitment is nice, but these past few weeks, I've learned something about core principles and one's life foundation. All these can not be achieved easily when you are constantly moving.

Ideally, being a nomad is best done when one is in the mid-20s to late 20s and has enough savings, emergency funds, and a proper life foundation. Perhaps I am an outlier in this experience, and I need stability before anything else, but I understand everything is a trade-off in life. I had the moving part first before understanding my life's foundation.

Let's be clear: I don't regret the times I spent trying to discover my life's core principle and foundation in my late teenage days and early 20s. I embrace the fail-and-try approach, and though it might be slower than most, I'm confident I'll reach my destination. It's a journey of learning and growth that I'm proud of.

As you can see in this tracker, I only got a few things done and missed many things. Most importantly, I also needed to catch up on the routine and timely progress I shared here.

I have to say, though, that among all the things that are consistent on this page is my daily scripture reading. I read the Bible daily and revise everything I've written, and it goes on. I wouldn't say I am spiritual, but I found consolation in reading it, and it resonates with everything I've been doing all this time.

I should be doing a Comptia prep, but time always seems to slip away, and whenever I try to do it, I always feel a little challenged. There's always something that makes me reluctant to pick up the materials that need to be studied. This week, though, I reminded myself to just do it because the more I complicate the whole process, the less likely I am to do it. It's a struggle many of us can relate to.

The same goes for my Korean language study. I had difficulty finding time because I was aiming for an hour daily. Still, these days, I tell myself it's OK to study 5 characters, and that would be enough. What matters is the consistency that comes from it.

Since the year is about to end, do you have anything you'd love to improve?
