An underappreciated fact here on fasting. I do intermittent fasting daily. There is a window of the fasting period that is most productive, full of energy and mental acuity.
Life lessons are learned through years of living fully and starting at 21 or sooner is great. Learning, growing and changing is a process and there is no way a 21 year old has the battle scars of an 81 year old. That took 60 years of blood, sweat and tears. As far as I know there is no magic recipe or formula and most people on their own timetables have the opportunities to change over time. Unfortunately there are those who do not progress and remain stuck at some earlier human developmental stage. You can call it a lack of maturity or a failure to learn. "Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santyana in "The Life of Reason" (1905)
I understand what you’ve said. The experience of a 21 year old doesn’t match that of an older person. But the purpose of my article was to share these lessons to my 21 year old self. I’m not 21.
I also appreciate you sharing that only the self-aware and those ready to work on themselves actually make a change.
Thank you for reading my friend :).
What are the 2 or 3 lessons you’d share that you’ve learnt in your lifetime?
Pin it and you can quote me as the source if that helps. However, it's not copyrighted so you can adopt it as something that speaks to you and your veritas.

Something I will write about eventually.
Hello Lund, it’s cool that you fast :). I hope to read about the benefits you’ve got from the practice. I’m curious, how long have you been fasting?
Since October 2022. Lost 55 lbs.
A whole 55!…wow. Congratulations man! That’s a big milestone. You’re a committed go-getter:)

1 - Change is inevitable. The question is what kind of change do you want and not want? There are two kinds of change, planned and unplanned.
2 - Love, kindness and compassion are among the best gifts we can give or receive.
3 - We live one day at a time and it's up to each of us to make the most and best of that.
I love this, especially number 2. I wish I could pin it. It feels great to move into the world with love and kindness.

That’s great Ryan. I love that you enjoyed the piece.
I’d love to know some 2 or 3 lessons you’ve learnt so far yourself :).
