Since starting on CPAP, I’ve often mentioned how things feel very different and how I’m starting to question a lot of long-held beliefs about myself and my life. My perspective on just about everything is rapidly changing.
Which sort of made me think… Maybe I should approach my life from now on like I sort of just found myself in someone else’s body and have to decide what to do from here.
Everything that I’ve done up until this point is basically a sunk cost. I can’t get back any of the time I’ve already spent.
But what I can do is take a radical approach and plan things going forward as if I’m literally a new person.
Almost like if you were to buy an aging business. You would audit everything and take stock of how things are going and what opportunities there are, and then make changes – potentially drastic ones – to maximize performance going forward.
That’s what I have to do.
So many things that I used to cling to are falling away and I can see forward much more clearly. I think it’s time to take stock of where I’m at and what I actually value and care about.
One challenge at the moment is that I’m not entirely sure what I want. Just, generally. A lot of that I’m still figuring out.
But I think it’s important that I view my life going forward as a fresh start, and behave accordingly.
It feels a bit freeing to look at things this way. I can just sort of move past anything I’ve been stuck on and start from scratch.
I’m not sure how it will go but it’s never too late.
