I spent an hour writing my today’s journal: November 2, 2024. I had a lot to say and sadly didn’t finish. I will come back to it once I finish my Ralston Application Essay. Other than that I spent about 35 minutes reading No access. Also, talked to my friend Christopher Pinho for about four hours on the phone. It was one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. It was so good to connect with him again. He is one of the people I respect most in this life. He has done the hard work to develop a character truly worthy of respect.
I made great progress on my Ralston Application Essay today, working for approximately 170 minutes. I finished my outline and then broke down the outline into its six parts. After, I tried to tackle writing each part, one at a time. Breaking the project down like this really helped me begin. It no longer seemed so overwhelming. I have learned this many times, but still always forget to break a project down when I feel like avoiding it.
Today, I finally built my Digests page on my website. It is a simple solution, but I think an elegant one. Sometimes I find using “all the bells and whistles” in Notion can lead to a worse result. We’ll see how easy it is to maintain and whether or not I want to improve it in time.
I also worked a bit on Ralston Application Essay. I didn’t finish and I should have worked more on it, but something is better than nothing.
Nothing is hard… you just expected it to be easier.
Today was a really great day. It’s now the start of a new year. I am really excited to see where this one goes. This past year was surely the strangest I have ever had. But the struggles and intensity produced fruit like I’ve never had before. This next chapter and season need to be better. Not from an external perspective, but simply from an internal one. I need to work better. Be more useful and vigorous each day. Hold myself to the highest standard and pursue wisdom. The video and video script I need to work on first is the one on me organizing and cleaning all of my property. God please bless me and this New Year. I would hope I can find love this year, but if not I’ll still be learning and growing and I’ll never stop trusting in You.
