"I need to fix my body and train my mind, so that I can accomplish everything in life that I want"

All my life, I did what others wanted, so that I wouldn't be punished for being a bad person. I've always known that something was wrong with that, that I was better and smarter than I was being given credit. Through decades of others telling me I wasn't good enough, I still knew that they were wrong and that I could be amazing if only I was allowed to be. Eventually, my psyche simply no longer allowed me to allow other people to treat me that way! Now I'm scrambling like crazy to make up for lost time and build the life I always should have had. Over the past couple of years, I've had friends and coworkers comment on how happy I seem. But like anything, the more you know, the more you know you don't know. Meeting like-minded people through synchronicity and then finding Mindvalley has only cemented my belief that I've been right all along. Unfortunately, there's not enough time in my day to learn and do everything that I want to in this amazing, exciting life that I now have, and I am still occasionally overwhelmed. There's a sense of impending doom, that I'll run out of time before I have a chance to experience the life I need to live. I know that there's only so much one person can do, and I still have the other half of my life to do it. It's just getting to that calm state, because right now, everything is so new and so exciting that I want all of it; I want everything there is! I'm also completing the Mindvalley coursework, and that's allowing me to see even more options. I need to fix my body and train my mind, so that I can accomplish everything in life that I want.
