“Make measurable progress in reasonable time.” – Jim Rohn

As we near the end of 2025 it is again time to review the goals I set at the beginning of the year

My 2025 Life Purposes and Goals in Review

My Life’s Purposes

1. Fill the world with kindness and love [did my best]
2. Make a difference – level the playing field for people who were born with the cards stacked against them [did my best]
3. Change perceptions about differently-abled people [did my best]

2025 Goals in Review

1. Continue to be kind, honest, generous, grateful, loyal and filled with wonderment
2. Every day be the best SuperSidekick to Superhero Catherine Constantinides (she’s the best, most hardworking real-life Superhero I’ve ever met she totally deserves me forever  and no matter what else I’m doing in life I will always be here for her)
3. Maintain and strengthen my deep friendship with Michelle Rielly  
4.  Raise at least R34 000 for Breath of Life 
5. Become financially independent – earn more than enough to pay for my own medical aid and groceries ( Update: I bought groceries for the house once or twice this year – it’s a start )
6. Have more fun – maybe take up art of some kind or simply going to the beach more often ( Update: I spent more time at the beach this year of which I’m proud)
7. Focus on wellness – pray every day, have good diet, exercise, good sleep, gratitude and get more sun (Update: I need to work on regular prayer, sleep and exercise everything else is good )
8. See Michelle Rielly in real-life again – I miss her lots
9. Choose people who choose me – no more chasing people (Update: this is still a work in progress)
10. Visit Paternoster (Update: the only chance to get there was in April during my brothers graduation but it was still an hour away so didn’t get there)
11. Visit Europe – go to Paris and Rome – and go paragliding in Switzerland (Update: I made it to Rome – it was stunning)
12. Go whale-watching with Southern Cross Cruises in October ( Update: I saw whales with Southern Cross Cruises on October 11th – it was awesome)
13. Stay at Crawfords Beach Lodge (Update: after what we spent on Rome I didn’t have the heart to ask my family for a stay 40kms away but maybe next year)

14. Read 24-48 books (Update: by December I was on book number 8)
15. Do 34  or more good deeds – one of the deeds must be having one or more trees planted (Update 1: Visions of Change helped me plant 5 trees) (Update 2:I wasn’t counting my good deeds but I’m pretty sure I covered 34)
