live above the influence

Well, this entry is actually related to substance abuse.
I have been drinking too much lately. Not by myself or anything like that, but still…a major reason for that is that I haven’t been sure of myself. I have done a lot of stuff in the last couple of weeks that were very brave and “unlike me”. This took some strength and built up some inner tension and I guess I silenced these feelings with alcohol….that’s not ok.
I should be brave and I should do stuff outside my comfort-zone but within MY means and not because I got some help from too many beers/drinks…so, no…. I haven’t lived above the influence lately…. 3 years ago

I really like this goal.
Honestely, I did not really know what the person who originally created this goal meant by it when I adopted it. I mean, I had an idea, but I think it can be interpreted in serval ways…

For me this goal is about going your own way and being happy with it. It is not so much about separating oneself from everybody else and doing something entirely different.
I think it basically means living your life without doubting and suffering because you think you don’t live up to the standards or ideals that the outside world puts upon you. 3 years ago
