Anaylze much?

Socrates once said “An unexamined life is not worth living.” I believe this to be true. I feel I try to examine my life on a regular basis. You know, take some inventory…where am I at? Where do I want to go? Am I happy with my life? Am I doing the best that I can? Do I treat people the way I should or would want to be treated? Am I reaching the goals that I have set for myself? Am I surrounding myself with people that care about me and support me through my endeavors? I have realized that even though I might “examine” it and want to change certain things, it is a challenge to put it into action. It’s like trying to lose weight. You know you need to, and you can become more aware of what you should or shouldn’t eat, but you still have to consciously decide and have the will power to make the right decision even if it feels uncomfortable and the cheeseburger sounds better than a salad. I guess this is why change is hard for people in general, whether to do for themselves or to accept in others. I truly believe that people should learn from their past experiences and/or mistakes and with that comes change and the decision to do things differently. I am on a path of change. It might be scary and uncomfortable at times but I feel exhilarated knowing the things that I want to change about myself and going after the goals that I have set. Regardless of where the path will lead me this time, I know that this is good for my soul and you can’t go wrong there.
