Helping 1,000,000 People Make a True Friend 🥰

This is my overall mission for life. This is what every action is leading towards.

The amazing humans in my life (friends and family) are the main reason that my life is so blessed so I will help others cultivate those kind of relationships as well.

Creating on YouTube 📼

For the last year, I haven't put in the work to create videos. Honestly, I've been afraid of what would happen if I did start taking it seriously and the results didn't come. But I'm tired of giving into the fear, so I'm working to produce one video a week moving forward (mostly about relationship building - see above point ⬆).

The goal is to give so much value to others and hit 100k subs by the end of 2023.

Learning Tagalog 🇵🇭

The biggest regret of my childhood is resisting learning Tagalog because I didn't want to be different than the other kids. The cost of "fitting in" was never learning this language that connects me to all my family members that came before me.

Now, I'm working to become fluent with weekly lessons (with my amazing teacher, Regina) and daily study of at least an hour.

Learning ASL (American Sign Language) 🧏🏾

Regina, my Tagalog teacher, told me a story about a friend of hers who is deaf and how lonely she sometimes feels having only a few friends that know ASL. As human connection is my main love, if I can be a friend to even one person that feels on their own, then all the hours learning the new language would be worth it.

So on July 1st, 2022, I started learning ASL. I'll continue with 1-2 lessons a week (with my other amazing teacher, Ratheesh) and daily study of at least 45 minutes.

Becoming an Ironman 🏊🏾🚴🏾🏃🏾

I've never pushed my body anywhere close to its limit. More importantly, I've never tested my mind to see what I'm truly capable of doing. I think that training for and finishing an Ironman can change both of those.

After (hopefully) completing my first marathon this upcoming Sunday, training begins for an Ironman in early 2024.

Taking a break from Social Media and TV🙅🏾📱📺

I don't need more time, I need more focus. The biggest thieves of my attention are social media and TV shows. Not only that, I am probably addicted to both so I am taking a 3 month break to see how my life is affected.
