It’s taken most of my life to realise the power of opportunity and the present moment. Having missed many potentially life-changing opportunities, I learned the value and necessity of taking opportunities immediately and ultimately realised that it’s possible to create them. It’s easy to think that you’ll do something when the time’s ‘right’ but you’llContinue reading “Opportunity”

Incremental Progress
TLDR: Get plenty of rest and sleep, reduce distractions, prioritise, focus on what you can prevent, do your best, focus on what you can control, take opportunities immediately, respond don’t react. I made a commitment to myself to become a writer. This means writing every day. I write a lot that I never post andContinue reading “Incremental Progress”
Study
Study has the power to change your life. The keys are to pursue what interests you, read or listen a little every day, narrow down your filter over time and apply what you learn immediately. How you study is also important. It’s really important that you pursue what interests you, especially in the beginning. IfContinue reading “Study”
Goals
– You can have everything you want(just not all at once) (Series hiatus) TLDR Re-define realistic. Goals don’t need to be huge in the beginning. Be careful what you tell children about their dreams. Don’t delay gratification until you achieve your goals – enjoy the process, learn to not be attached to the result. AvoidContinue reading “Goals”

So recently I’ve been struggling with low energy and burnout. I’ve been in a job for 9 months while holding onto a part-time job. The main job isContinue reading “Life Decision”
Thank You
This post is simply to thank all readers of this blog. So, thank you for reading, sharing, and commenting!
To show my appreciation, I invite you to suggest the next topic (not already outlined in the series posts) in the comments section. I will write a post on the first topic that I have knowledge or insight on.
COVID-19
We left the country for 3 weeks and my wife got Covid! Although initially it was stressful and looked like an awful situation, there have been many benefits. Although I’ve tested negative every day so far, at the end, I’ll detail my daily symptoms.
R&R 2
In R&R, I wrote that I was transitioning between jobs. At the time of writing, I was six months into the job and I’d hit a wall. The timing of my holiday was perfect.
Anonymity
Recently, I’ve become aware that people who know me personally may have discovered this blog and it made me realise that it’s possible others will too in the future. If you know who I am or wonder why I choose anonymity, this is for you.
