My voyage of self conquest started a couple years ago, but it wasn't until just recently that I discovered exactly what it was I was doing in life. I was leading a very self destructive life for the most part. The sad part was I was mentally trying to make me a better person all while I really wasn't doing anything but telling myself that I was trying. I came across a couple of quotes that helped me to realize my pathetic attempt to better myself.
*Plato, "The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is of all things most shameful and vile.”
and
*Martin Phillips, "The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!"
Since discovering these quotes, I have taken my first baby steps into my Ultimate Voyage to Self Conquest. On December 16, 2010 I made a decision to change my lifestyle. I want to be healthier for so many reasons (list to come on future blog). I knew I couldn't do it alone, so I joined Weight Watchers. I am on my eleventh week on the program, and as of my last weigh in, I was down 22.8lbs.
What are you doing to conquer yourself?
