Everything Is an Experiment

2020-07-26 1 min read

I realized today that literally everything in life is an experiment. Or rather, I am constantly experimenting with different aspects of my daily life. Whether it’s tweaking my diet to see if I feel more alert, changing up the type of exercise I do, or trying to build new habits, everything is constantly open to experimentation. That even includes things that are, at this point, habit.

Why experiment? Because I’m sure there’s a better way. I don’t for a moment believe that I’ve “arrived” in any aspect of my life. That is part of what keeps me moving forward, a desire to constantly learn, grow, and improve.

Applying Self-Limits

2020-07-25 2 min read

I’ve talked about this before, but one thing I occasionally find tricky is following through plans or limits that I have given myself. For instance, I try to eat both a balanced diet (in my case, keto, but balanced based on that premise), and to also limit the number of calories I eat per day. Why? Because it’s easy for me to idly just sit and eat, or snack on something. And I don’t like the path that leads me down.

Today was a day that very little got accomplished. I’m not sure why… I was in a bit of a funk part of the day. I wonder if I didn’t get enough sleep or something. I did finish Brave New World though… still deciding my final thoughts on it.

And I think that’s the end of today’s post. I’m going to strive to ensure tomorrow goes better.

It’s already 10:10 PM as I start this blog post. Which means that it is well past my normal blogging time. Today ended up being a fairly busy day, between work and small group at church. This is my first time really sitting down much at all, and therefore I don’t have many thoughts. So, until tomorrow…

Living in Response

Note: I no longer recommend listening to Bill Johnson, as I have strong disagreements with his theology, but I’m leaving this up for historical purposes. (2024-11-03)

“I can’t afford to live in reaction to darkness. If I do, darkness has had a role in setting the agenda for my life. The devil is not worthy of such influence, even in the negative. Jesus lived in response to the Father. I must learn to do the same.” Bill Johnson

I spent most of this afternoon and evening preparing for a presentation I’m giving tomorrow. I should have spent more time over the course of the previous week preparing for this, but… I didn’t. So now I’m finally nearing the end, and it’s time for bed.

One of these days I’ll learn to start things ahead of time!

Choose Your VPN Wisely

2020-07-20 1 min read

One of the podcasts I listen to daily brought up a recent news article about several Hong Kong based VPNs that were found to expose private user data, even though they claimed that they didn’t.

Frankly, stories like this don’t surprise me anymore. As the saying goes, if you aren’t paying for the product, then you are the product (in most cases). “Free” is often too good to be true. Choose wisely!
