23 Years old - Oct ‘23-’24

This last year was the most significant of my life in achievement, health, pleasure, adventure, and pursuit of truth.

Looking forward, I’ve split up my goals into Main Quests and Side Quests. Side Quests can be compromised on, but are life giving pursuits that get me excited.

By 24 Years Old:

I am not concerned with achievement. I am concerned with what the process of achievement will make of me.

The goals I set are noble not only in what they create, but in what they create of me.

All this yet it is true that work must be done and I do have desires for my external environment.

I keep these desires and my identity small.

Priority traits I MUST cultivate:

• High integrity

• Deeply compassionate

• Loving

• Generous

• Wise

• Disciplined

• Action oriented

Main Quests:

• Publish 1 blog per month

• Run a marathon

• Get promoted or leave NVIDIA

• Reach $1M liquid net worth (at the time of writing this, 11/29/23, my liquid net worth is $300K)

Side Quests:

• Multi-pitch ice climb

• Climb 5.12

• Get scuba license

• Go to a Michelin star restaurant

• Join a basketball league

• Do a Vipassana retreat

• Move to NYC

• Work with Wichuma

• Eliminate all processed foods from diet

Characters I’d like to be:

• Outdoorsman

• Priest

• Technologist

• Entrepreneur

• Explorer

• Poet

• Philosopher

• Scientist

• Pianist
