Here I am, back home, typing these words after a fulfilling vacation with my wife. The trip abroad was brief, but we made the most of it, recharging our spirits and rekindling our aspirations.

I believe that one cannot live without aspirations, no matter how modest they may be. Aspirations are the mental fuel we need.

For me, my aspirations are rooted in my habits. I don’t have a definitive finish line to cross each day; instead, I focus on my daily and weekly routines such as meditation, consistent work, and my semi-daily 3KM run.

Now, I’m recharged, and my aspirations are clear. I’m ready to return to my habitual practices:

• 20-30 minutes of daily meditation
• 3KM run on Sun-Tue-Thu
• 3 hours of hyper-focused work daily
  

These aspirations look wonderful on my calendar and to-do list, but what overwhelms me is the lack of tangible measurements to gauge my progress or find milestones along the way.

Nevertheless, I realize that not having a proper day job disrupts me; lacking structure in my day tends to make it chaotic and unclear.

These aspirations are designed to steady my day as a foundation for a stable structure.

Let’s see how it goes one month from now.

Onward!
