Day 81. July 17th DON’T ABANDON OTHERS . . . OR YOURSELF “As you move forward along the path of reason, people will stand in your way. They will never be able to keep you from doing what’s sound, so don’t let them knock out your goodwill for them. Keep a steady watch on both fronts, not only for well-based judgments and actions, but also for gentleness with those who would obstruct our path or create other difficulties. For getting angry is also a weakness, just as much as abandoning the task or surrendering under panic. For doing either is an equal desertion—the one by shrinking back and the other by estrangement from family and friend.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 11.9 As we begin to make progress in our lives, we’ll encounter the limitations of the people around us. It’s like a diet. When everyone is eating unhealthy, there is a kind of natural alignment. But if one person starts eating healthy, suddenly there are opposing agendas. Now there’s an argument about where to go for dinner. Just as you must not abandon your new path simply because other people may have a problem with it, you must not abandon those other folks either. Don’t simply write them off or leave them in the dust. Don’t get mad or fight with them. After all, they’re at the same place you were not long ago.

Day 04 checking in. Sunday, day to evaluate how this week has gone, to analyze my victories and my mistakes and to see how to continue improving. From June 12 to July 12 I only failed twice (I usually give in to my urges 15-20 times a month or even more) so while I feel bad about my mistakes, I don't let that make me ignore my progress. I will not give up, I will never return to the lifestyle I had before, I have chosen the path of the warrior and I will continue fighting every day.
