Wins in the last 90 days
I got married.
My 2025 ended ended that day.
My only regret was not getting married earlier.
I have conquered this moment.
And I couldn't wait to spend the beginning of 2026 with AK as my wife.
I found my way back to Church.
I was born and raised Catholic.
Was on-and-off with my going to Church and attending prayer groups ever since college.
I stopped going to Church because, frankly, I did not see the need for it (I believe in Christ anyway).
Some time last year, for some reason, Christianity came across my algorithm. I couldn't relate with all the miracles that they've been experiencing. I said to myself that I can be reasoned with—we'll investigate this religion. I did some digging, and all answers lead back to the Catholic Church.
So I said to myself, that I'm going to settle my accounts before getting married (a.k.a. going to Confession). And I realized, that I've experienced a miralce (we can talk about that later on).
My Wife and I combined our finances shortly after getting married. We have enough for one of us to get sick (once in one year).
Lessons in the last 90 days
In my coming back to Church, I stumbled upon Apologetics. Wherein you structure your reasoning in defense of the religion. I have become fond of the Bible stories, that I may have become preachy. Especially with my wife. I understand that there's a time for everything. And I should step on the brakes on sharing the Good News. I have to prep the momentum, set the parameters before talking about these things.
The Word of God is spiritual food. And like any other food, when you try to feed someone food beyond their appetite, it's not going to be digested very well. Some would vomit it out or even reject the offer.
Aim small, miss small. I said to myself that I'm going to hit the gym. But that never happened. Heading out the gym, change clothes, get sweaty, and change my clothes again was a hassle for me. I already know that exercise has a good ROI. And yet, I don't do it.
I owe it myself to get some exercise. Even if it's just walking.
I'm not ready to start a business. My wife and I have been talking about how one of us should resign from retail if we were to start raising a family. I have not planned it well enough on what venture I'm going take as an alternative to my retail job. And most of all, I have not mustered enough courage to take the risk.
Didn't implement POSSE. Although I did want to implement POSSE, I wasn't able to do so. I admit, that it's my fault for not preparing enough for it.
Such friction exists because I’m also trying to avoid social media apps altogether.
So I'll just focus on writing and publishing here in Bear.
Goals for the next 90 days
1. Take control of my health Get better sleep. Walk. Meditate. Socialize. Read more books.
2. Get my socials ready for professional use. Particularly, LinkedIn and X. I'm not sure if I should include this blog as reference. I think of it more of a personal website than a professional one.
3. Use the Zettelkasten more often in my readings and writings. Obsidian has been a helpful tool for me here. If you're interested on how to make your own Zettels, Sascha and Christian made a website about it..
