What's On My Mind?
January – the month when you strive to become better.
But what do I mean by “better”?
- complain less
- do more
- question my judgment more often
be more open to criticismembrace criticism- add physical activity to my daily routine
- step back before I react – to daily annoyances
- say “no” more often
- be more assertive
- develop confidence
- write more engaging content
While all that sounds like I’m off to a better 2020, I realized a change I haven’t fully realized until Thursday of this week:
I’m a father. None of the shit I just mentioned matters more than the well-being of my family.
I will do just about ANYTHING to preserve that.

Goal Update
Personal Projects
Currently editing the video of how I drew “Cats in Paris”. Snagit Trial is over. Found a free built-in software in my desktop computer.
I got the links to educate myself on the history of life insurance – to further my understanding.
Acquired positive feedback on the project I worked on at work. The project is about knowledge transfer: to allow everyone to do what I do.

I was emotionally unstable for a moment but I’m better now.
The life you know can turn upside down at any moment. When it does, how prepared are you to deal with the consequences?
No amount of meditation or stoic principles can help while you’re in the eye of the storm.
The only move you have is to deal with what needs to be dealt with at the moment.
Meditation and stoicism can come after…
Finance
Nothing to report here. All I know is that it’s going to take some time to deal with our debts.
