Unit 6

   After reading the lessons from Unit 6, I decided it was a good time for an assessment of where I am at in terms of mindful existence. Today was a good day to do it, as it marked the 6 year anniversary of the worst day I experienced in my 2005-2006 Iraq deployment. I thought it would interesting to see how my mind has changed since then and how I am doing in learning to live a more meaningful existence. The biggest thing that I noticed, was that it seems to take a lot to get to me now. I think one reason is because no day since coming home has been as bad as they were over there. After getting out of the infantry, I feel like I now use my dedication and discipline to help others as a personal trainer. In my mind, this is a meaningful existence.
