God I've been humbled by life. I thought I knew it all. Turns out I was just a scared little boy trying to put on a confident facade so the world doesn't know the truth though at the time I thought I was just cocky. Learning about business, fitness, dating, and time management made me really self reflect at who I really was. I was a floating turd going about life living unconscipusly. Then I realized this is 99% of people. Following whatever there enviornment put them in.

Everyday I'm becoming more and more awake and realizing more and more of my flaws and where my entitlement in life is. Damn what a ride awakening. Anyone else feel this way? (And to all the high and mighty people saying oh young padawan I am the wise sage good for you to finally start. I can guarantee you're just as lost and have just a big of an ego.)
