12:43 PM: I do not believe I have written this outright, but as things become established habit, something else will replace them for a daily goal. Lifting and meditation are never on the daily goals list for this reason. They are simply things I do.
1:11 AM (June 16): It is worth considering the fundamental drive behind some of my primary objectives. I pursue physical health for its own sake. As a matter of pragmatism, I want to be strong. As a matter of pageantry, I want to appear strong. The same is absolutely true of cognitive prowess. I want to be smart and I want people to be well aware of the fact. I may be compensating for deep-rooted insecurities or I may simply be more superficial than I allow myself to believe. Or, even worse, that I am simply more normal than I allow myself to believe.
