“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin
It’s 1 : 27 PM on day 2842 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside – it was fun just to be alone with birds they have no demands or expectations – and do some work
Last Monday I set some goals and today I will again be evaluating myself to measure my progress and I’ll be setting some goals for the coming week as well. Take a look:
18th – 25 June Goals Self-Evolution
- Continue to be kind, honest and generous [I tried]
- Be the best Supersidekick to my Superhero Catherine Constantinides [I tried]
- Spend time outside as often as I can [I did]
- Read 200+ pages of When Dimple Met Rishi [currently on page 143]
- Learn 7+ new things [such a fail on this one this week]
- Write done 7 beautiful moments – 1 for every day of the week [did it more often than not ]
- Eat or drink something new [not done]
- Call 1 friend [not done – the world is suspicious of a girl who wants to call just to say hi or thank you so those I want to call I don’t have the phone numbers of and those whose phone numbers I do have I have called so many times they’re probably sick of me so although one of my goals this year was to call 2 family members and 2 friends every 3 months just to say hi or thank you I don’t think it’s going to work out]
Highlights of the week
- My sister’s procedure going well
- My sister reaching Australia safely (she’s in Australia for her 4-week med school elective I’m happy for her she’s always been a good kid always working hard and doing the right thing (in her 23 years of life she has never caused my parents heartache it’s extraordinary) my parents were happy to fund her trip because she truly truly earned it I’m happy for I hope she learns lots and has fun she deserves it
- Getting a voice note from Superhero Catherine Constantinides says she was thinking of my family and I as we commemorated 41 days since my grandmother’s passing – I was so shocked that she remembered it was a wonder considering she’s at the UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL in GENEVA representing the people of the Western Sahara ( my Superhero makes my life she’s my lesson in kindness and humility I honestly am left speechless by her thoughtfulness she often says to me that no matter where she is she carries me in her heart and I believe her with my whole heart)
- Being with my extended family
