“What would you do today if you knew you would not fail? Now go out and do it.”
Josh Duhamel said this in the movie New Year’s Eve Movie. My best friend was urging me to create a vision board for weeks now, “Make a vision board and wake up to it every day. Make it happen. No more excuses.” he said.
I have so many dreams, and they’ve been on hold for the longest time. Something always comes up. Since I want to focus on myself this year, I thought it will be nice to remind myself of what I want to do.
Things I Want To Do
- Become a writer. – I just want to write.
- Be a teacher. – Teaching is something I love doing. To this day, I still think about the time I chose to join a mobile operator and quit my teaching job. I’m not regretting my decision of choosing the telco job, but I do think about whether I should go back to teaching.
- Do more volunteer work – I remember contemplating this so hard in mid-2014. Told myself I will quit my job. Back then, I had this idea of moving to one country and staying in that country for 3 to 6 months before moving on to the next one. Well, that didn’t happen, and I don’t want to do it anymore.
You think it’s boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it’s on you to make life interesting, the better off you’ll be.Maria Semple
More…
- Japan – I’ve always said that if I can live somewhere forever, it will be anywhere in Japan. After university, I was working on achieving this goal. I tried to get a scholarship through my alma mater but I got as far as talking to my thesis adviser/colleague about it and downloading the forms and the requirements, and that was it. I tried to learn Niponggo too, but that wasn’t fruitful either. Brought my materials to Dubai three years after though, haven’t touched them since. Now it feels too far fetched that I will be extremely happy just to visit.
- Get better in all the things I do, especially with my web designing and developing skills. I’m working on it and hopefully, by the end of the year, I will have the online presence I want to have and…
- Build the following applications: a diary that doesn’t look like any of the ones available right now and the snapshot-to-library app that I thought of last year.
- Have my cafe with a bookshop and stationery store. – The dream.
If you think you can help me “Go out and do it” or you want to share your thoughts/opinions on any of them, leave a comment.
