The Year of Trailblazing
2023.01.03: Continuing My Year of Trailblazing
I want to explore! I want to ascend! I want to yearn and struggle and grow!
In 2023, I’ll be pursuing some lofty goals:
- publish a novella
- go on a camping trip
- become a best dad
- launch a startup
- organize a tech conference
- benchpress my own bodyweight
- continue my sobriety experiment
- release a VR “game”
- cycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles
Blazing these trails will require skills that I don’t yet possess:
- discipline
- finishing projects I’m disinterested in
- managing fear and anxiety
- consistency
Let’s go!
2022.10.17: (Officially) Starting My Year of Trailblazing
When I decided to start my “year of trailblazing” earlier this year, I was speedrunning major life changes:
- purchased my first home
- moved to an unfamiliar climate
- started a new job
- changed my name
- had my first child
- quit drinking forever
For me, charting unexplored territory has been a difficult delight! My soul has been fully engaged.
But the year’s not over yet! Continuing into 2023, I’ll still be trailblazing (literally and figuratively):
- weekly hikes
- seasonal camping
- cycling from San Francisco to Los Angeles
- launching my first real startup
- starting a tech conference
