How to Properly Aim at a Better Future
Change your life without driving yourself crazy
The future almost never turns out exactly how you thought it would, no matter how hard you plan for it. Sometimes, it exceeds your expecations. Other times, it underwhelms. But rarely do you get exactly what you want exactly when you expect to get it.
Mixed in between you’ll find random obstacles, setbacks, and even tragic situations you must deal with.
2019 was…interesting.
As I’ve explained in other posts already, this year included the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I quit my job to become a full-time writer and ended up making more money than any other year in my life by far. I spent the entire year pouring my soul into a new book. I’m confident I’ll never have to work a job again.
Also, my marriage crumbled. I went partially blind in one eye due to complications with sickle cell anemia — a disease I’ve had for my entire life. I took a sabbatical from my job because I was distressed from having to move out of the house in a hurry. Said sabbatical led to me quitting altogether. Who knows how long I would’ve stayed without life shaking things up for me?
That’s the funny part about it all — the good and bad have a symbiotic relationship with one another…
