IMG-0309What I’m Reading / Listening To:

I was about 60% of the way through What I Learned Losing A Million Dollars by Jim Paul and Brendan Moynihan but got a little bored so I stopped. I then started reading Start With Why by Simon Sinek.

I completed the two audiobooks titled: Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and am now listening to The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. This is one of my favourite books

At home, I am reading Captivate by Vanessa Van Edwards

Video Update: I created a video this weekend and posted it.

I also was inspired but a video style and plan on trying this out in my next cinematic type video.
(1) Use the sound in the video, like the vector ‘Taste the energy’ commercial
(2) Each click increase the speed at the start and then decrease it towards the end (this spans about 2 seconds

Guitar Update: I still practice the guitar. My pinky finger is hurting because I am using it more. This is a good thing.

Side Business: I haven’t worked on my business in about 3 weeks… My original goal was to get a sale by the end of May which obviously didn’t happen. I don’t know why I can’t motivate myself to work on this.

Life Update:

(1) I had an excellent conversation with my parents yesterday about my future.

(2) Been thinking about what habits I need to drop. The habits that aren’t helping my growth. The habits that are time wasters. The habits like social media (Instagram, Facebook)

  • I am proud to say I deleted the online dating apps. They weren’t helping me and were actually making me depressed which is something I don’t need

(3) I am rethinking my morning routine (right as I wake up and before breakfast). I am leaning towards two things

  1. Journaling
  2. Spending time in prayer and thanksgiving to God

As a recent university graduate who worked so hard throughout my high school and university years, striving towards the end goal of landing a full-time job after graduation, I am starting to see that post-university life isn't all that people said it would be. I am constantly asking myself: Is this it? Is this all I worked towards? There has to be more than this than working for the next 30 years striving for what? Putting on various facades depending on the situation you're in, climbing the corporate ladder. I was fortunate enough to land a full-time job with the great perks of working in the heart of downtown Toronto with a stellar view of the waterfront. I write every weekday (excluding holidays) about the problems I see and face in hopes that it will help others shed some light on their issues and know they are not alone in their struggle and haze of a professional career
