The plan

The plan is to propel myself to the next level, a level of happiness that would make me feel more apt, self-realized and mature. At this point, I have conquered several things in this existential arena: I have a better job. I am not making top money, but I’m making a lot more money than I ever was in my life. I quit smoking cigarettes, and as a result of that I gained close to twenty pounds in weigh. I lost most of it through a rigorous routine of daily exercise. I maintain an active life style. I read The Alchemist, Awaken the Giant Within, and meditate sometimes. I am dominating my demons. Soon, a few of my poems will be published in a book of poetry along with many other amateur poets. This wasn’t part of the plan but I welcomed the opportunity. I see that there is a lot of work to be done still. I will save money, move alone and have a vehicle. I need to focus in order to achieve these goals. I will earn a college degree in philosophy or literature. My number one priority is to learn and grow, be healthy and knowledgeable. I am in my way. I am becoming. I will prevail. I won't be denied. The only person that can stop me is myself. We are, as some say, our worst enemy. I don't think the internal war is over but I do believe we're in for a truce. It's a good beginning.
