“Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it’s realistic or not.” - Deepak Chopra
If I am to use one word to sum up my 2018, it would be ‘peaceful’ (2nd word would be ‘unsatisfied’). Many things happened in this year, and it is generally a year of not many ups and downs in my life. I ended up not achieving most of the goals set for the year, although I did attained some unplanned achievements. The fact is, there are so much more I wish to do. I either need to work harder, or stay focus.
A recap of my 2018:
Created a new website, blogging about my profession as a Cloud Project Manager
I got promoted at work
Travelled quite a bit (Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand and went on cruise twice (Thailand, Vietnam, KL))
Tired sky diving!
Took my first milky way photo
Actively maintaining my blog, food blog, professional blog and landscape website
Status of my goals set for 2018
Continue the plan to set up my business - Fail miserably
Pass at least one IT professional certification - Started taking afew courses, completed none.
Excel in my current new job - Got promoted at work and continue work in progress
Reducing my weight to 80kg - Another fail
Recover from my knee injury - Not recovered. Instead, I learned to live with it.
Continuing my youtube channel and blog - I can confidently say, I did.
I need to sleep earlier - No excuse for this. I just didn’t put in afford.
Comparing to what I had achieved in 2016 and 2017, 2018 has been uneventful and unfulfilling by far. From what the fortune teller is saying, 2019 is gonna be an average year for those that’s born in my year (year of goat). But I am not someone to be superstitious about this kind of things anyway. I have some plans coming up for 2019 and I already know some things thats gonna happen in 2019. 2019 is gonna be an awesome year.
So, in 2019, I've come up with another list of resolutions. To make it easier for me to focus, I am cutting down the list to only 5 goals. The list is expected to be a 'work-in-progress' and will be modified according to shift in priorities.
My goals for 2019:
Continue the plan to set up my business/long term plan (TBC)
Pass at least 2 IT professional certification.
Reducing my weight to less than 80kg (No more excuses!)
I need to sleep earlier
