Obligatory New Year Post

It's that time of year again, where everyone starts making resolutions and plans for the upcoming year. I read somewhere that by February most resolutions (something like 80%) have been forgotten or set aside. It's not difficult to figure out that this happens because people set unrealistic goals. The key to setting reasonable goals is … Continue reading Obligatory New Year Post

Oh Look!! Another “Year In Review” Blog!!

Well, the year is done, and the inevitable โ€œYear in Reviewโ€, and โ€œNew Year, New Youโ€ posts are coming.

Without spoiling anything, the main plot is about a guy looking for meaning, … Continue reading A Good Year is not JUST a Good Year….

My Struggle and My Legacy.

It feels like ages that end in zero are landmark ages. I donโ€™t think I've ever heard someone say that they want to achieve certain goals before they hit 27, or 33; its always 30, or 40, or in my case: 50. The setting of goals requires a certain amount of self reflection and as … Continue reading My Struggle and My Legacy.
