While I don’t believe you should start making changes to your life simply because it is the beginning of the year, I do get hyped up every January. I get excited because I find so much potential in the year ahead. There is so much potential for success and happiness in the months ahead and I believe everyone should capitalize on it in their own way. 2020 (and every other year) is going to be my year, and there is going to be a lot of personal development happening. Some of my top goals this year in no particular order are:
-Read at least 20 books: This should be an easy one. It’s January 2nd, and I’ve already finished one
– Be conversational in Spanish: I’ve been studying Spanish off and on over the last year and I think I’m close enough to be conversational. It would be nice if my Spanish tutor would practice with me more though. (I hope she sees this)
– Have a better faith life: I’m cradle Catholic, but my faith has been weak so I need to step it up.
– Setup a home lab: I’ve always wanted to do this and I finally have the money and enough knowledge to put something together. I attended a really cool talk on building a SOC using only open source tools and it inspired me to build a home lab. The talk was purely conceptual, but I am interested in actually implementing something like that.
I hope everyone has a great 2020 and an even better decade. 2020 is the year of vision and I hope everyone tries to maximize their potential.
