I turned 22 on Oct 10th ‘22.

My approach to growth is that it does not matter what I do, where I am, what I own, who I know, or anything else inasmuch as it affects who I’m becoming.

I’m optimizing my life not to do the things listed below, but to become the type of person that does the things below. It may seem like a small tweak, but it’s a complete shift in the architecture of the heart - moving from top-down structuring to bottom-up.

Priorities for the next year:

• Become more childlike and reliant on the Lord.

• Grow in diligence, humility, wisdom, and integrity.

• Achieve financial and mental higher highs and higher lows.

• Learn to focus. Become a deeper thinker.

• Become more technical.

• Increase curiosity to a fever pitch.

Bucket list for the next year:

• Run a marathon.

• Climb an alpine mountain and ski down it.

• Become semi-fluent in either French or Spanish.

• Publish 10 blog posts that meet the proud bar.

• Have $1,500/m in semi-passive income

• Get promoted to Sr. Manager at NVIDIA.

• Make 6 figs not including NVIDIA income.

• Make 5 new close friends.

• Go to a Michelin star restaurant with a loved one.

• Learn to brew kombucha.

• Bake sourdough bread from an ancient starter (preferably from a blue zone)

• Buy a property

• Travel to 3 countries that I haven’t already been to.

• Climb the grand teton.

• Learn Python.

• Become world class at cooking 1 meal.

Carpe diem!
