Goal progress so far…

I’ll be following the same format of reiterating the original goals and discussing what I did to make them happen. First:

Dedicate more time to the pursuit of building this website. Ideally this will teach me more about philosophy (and website building…) expanding my knowledge and skillset.

This has slipped some for me. The month of March was a rugged one for my family and I… Work on the website has continued. I am trying to remain consistent but have fallen behind some. The subject of Ethics was investigated and discussed as was Book 2 from Mediations. Checkout the posts and let me know what you think!

NEXT!

Increase my capabilities by getting on a more regimented workout routine (I am pretty casual about it now). This should help enforce discipline through other aspects of my life and will hopefully serve as a decent example for my children.

This section of my reflection is starting to feel like a list of excuses…lol. It could be time to embrace my inner David Goggins. At the start of the month, my family and I all got RSV. That was a rugged two weeks… We still have not fully recovered (the forever lingering cough) but we are on the mend! Long story short, I hardly exercised in this month. I must be better.

And finally,

Rediscover fishing! Fishing will allow me to disconnect from technology, enjoy the outdoors, and enjoy a semi-meditative state where I can enjoy the simple act of throwing out a line and reeling her back in.

First fishing trip of the year was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed spending time with my coworkers out on the ocean. Sadly, my freshwater excursion was canceled due to foul weather… I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year has in store!

Overall, my goals could use some work. Two opportunities and one success. April should be better.

Next Month?

Here is what I plan on doing with my goals for the following month:

For my first goal I need to remain consistent in my exploration of philosophical subject and in reading Mediations. I have been doing the work but have been lagging…

For my second goal, I need to get back at it! I plan on running and boxing for now to get my heart rate up and maybe shed a few lbs. I have no formal training with boxing though (thank god for YouTube!).

And fishing…. I would like to take my kids out (preferably for one on one time) to cast a line and hang out. This may not be possible in April (time will tell!).

Thank you for your time! My messaging to you will remain consistent. I hope you are making progress towards your goals for this year. If not, I encourage you to pause and reflect on things. Identify what you did well and what could use some attention. Until next time!

Our present and future need not be defined by our past. However, the past should help inform our decisions.
