To remember the mission, is to know you can see the mission accomplished. You have to dream it and see it come to life. My mission is being a freely creative and happy person. I am don’t need to win all battles, but I should be present to compete, to reflect and to accept that comes afterwards.
I just want to be financially free, and able to explore more, of what is unknown. With that, giveth back to someone else aiming to achieve the same.
My thoughts are simple, health is wealth. Everyone has their time to shine, and some may not get the opportunity, so with the daily opportunities you have been blessed with to see another, how do you plan on using them?
Living a long life comes with values, morales, a dash of luck and surviving. There are many things involved because you can’t predict what’s next. We may have a level of certainty, based with probabilities, that works to your favor than your odds.
But to live this long life if done right, opens you to level of wisdom, maturity, and legacy. I live for those, and things they can blossom into for myself and for others I plan to share my stories with.
Wow, the countdown is real. The anticipation of a new year. The build-up is so wild. The conversations I shared, the people I met, the photos I took and didn’t take—the list is huge. All of this was happening, and I was happy. I mean, I had some bad days, trust me.
THE BAD DAYS
I always lost my vision; I almost lost a leg. But I am happy for my vision and ability to walk. 2023 was so real, as it really lost a lot of people. I saw a lot of people suffering. I saw a lot of people blocking their own blessings. I was so confused, but I could understand that life is tough.
The Good Days
The 5-6 soccer games I went to were an amazing feeling; to the highly focused bonding time I had with my brother and mother made the good shine a bit brighter. The simple things were the biggest part of 2023. Oh man, I was tested, but I stuck it out according to the plan I had. I had to be present—more present than I have ever been—and supportive. I was really challenged. I like a good challenge, but this was hard but rewarding. I don’t know if people can be happy with that. Oh yea, I blogged and wrote on my website the entire year, like every day. I know it’s not the 31st yet, but in a calendar year, 365 days. Completed. It’s now legendary; it took 12–13 years to complete, but look at God. wow.

The Milestones
I broke some records this year and started some very important new habits. I have a whole post for this. Click here.
A short version of milestones: – Invested into Stock more – Planned a few vacations – Celebrated myself more instead of just saying I knew I could do it. I did it, and respected that I really done it well for myself. – Posted 365 days on my blog. – Passed “515 days” writing. – Hit my Fitness Goal on my Apple Watch for “583 Days” straight. The biggest streak of my life.
Conclusion
2023 was tough, but I hang on in there. As the world was spinning out of control, I held my ground. I could pretty up words more, but I don’t want or need to. I made the best of every little grain I was given.
Let me know your thoughts. What words stood out for you in 2023?

In my head, I stay, For hours, for days, In ways I try, To create, Something new, Everytime I wake, Deep down, I want to find a hit, A win, So I can feel, Something new, Rather than losing, Choosing to not quit, I am experimenting, With all I got, And my wit, Through all failure, Until the hours, The days, Start to change.

Every month to me is like a new chapter. We just past an end, to a new beginning. We also continue on with the tea we were sipping. Christmas time is around the corner, and this year is like all years, it will happen, but how you spend it will be different.
I wish everyone safety and comfort if you can manage it this holiday season.
It’s so much more important than ever I feel to trust your gut. Knowing and catering to your identity is vital in today’s social climate. I tend to see lead themselves astray trying to be or keep up the others not even checking for them. In the holiday time of year, it can get lonely, but I say please find your peace and build a nice secure wall around it. Okay, yes, you can install windows to peek out and greet others from a far, thats okay.
