"I started waking up earlier just to make sure I start my day with meditation"

Quick summary

Bradley emerged from a quarter-life crisis and discovered meditation for the first time. Now waking up earlier to practice daily, they've shifted from merely existing to fully living, seeing how small changes and daily miracles weave together meaningfully.

Before this program I was on my coming out of a young quarter-life crises so I already did things to help me through that time. Since taking this quest, I now see, how small changes that I made (knowingly or not) and all the small daily miracles (as Vishen calls it) that happened and how it formed this tapestry of events led me to this quest. It's no longer just coincidences. I have never meditated before this. I didn't even know what to do or how you will feel. I remember doing a meditation and thinking, "I was aware of everything that was going on around me. Did I do this meditation thing right?" I really thought that you will go into this trance-like state where someone can come up really close to you, wave their hand in your face and you won't even know that they are there...you know, like how it happens in the movies when the monk is sitting on the mountain top. However, now I enjoy practicing the 3-2-1 method. I started waking up earlier just to make sure I start my day with meditation. I am now on my own personal quest to change the trajectory of my life (through continuous growth and personal development) and move from existing to full on living. And I want to share all of life's experiences and all the spoils life has to offer with my family, friends and loved ones. All this by doing the 3MIQ's. It may be this quest, but I also find myself being more emotional...still deciding how I feel about being more emotional recently. And not necessarily emotional as in sadness, but just emotional. I don't actually know how to describe it. Other than that, what a brilliant quest. I loved it and actually want my parents to do it.
