Came across this picture from our wedding week in Costa Rica 4 years ago…man how life has changed…
-Learn to meditate better and more frequently. (Getting there and I’m meditating daily)
-Learn how to stay in the moment even more, be present. (Definite improvement)
-Let your faith guide you. (I’m not really going anywhere…life wise…so I’m just staying expectant in my faith)
-Learn to surf better. (I’m better than horrible…slightly)
-Learn to be proficient in Yoga. (Not even close)
-Pray more. (I’ve actually stumbled a bit here, my prayers have been shorter and not as often…but I continue to thank the Lord for my blessings)
-Learn Spanish, as much as you can. (Soy un poco mejor)
-Get into the best strength & cardio shape of your life. (Shoulder injury is preventing strength improvement but my cardio is improving and I’m becoming more fit)
-Swim more. (Absolutely, up to ten minutes in the ocean with currents, waves and of course a few breaks between)
-Write a book. (I’m getting some ideas together but far from beginning)
-Complete Jessica’s prayer garden. (I hope to have this completed by July 15th)
-Visit new places, many new places…learn to love everyone and learn from their experience, customs and love. (I’ve done it here in Nosara and I’m excited to continue in additional places)
-Ride a motorcycle or drive a jeep more, you love it and deserve it. (Done! Bought a Defender and been riding atv’s and motorcycles)
-Finish reading the entire Bible. (Finished the New Testament 3/1…ten months to finish the Old Testament)
-Release your addictions. (Working on it…get off my back…haha)
-Continue to honor your sweet Jessica. (I believe I am)
-Have fun and continue to laugh. (Doing it…If I can’t do that I’d be so very miserable)
-Release your obstacles. (Little by little…)
-Dance more, free yourself through it. (Haven’t yet…I’ll go salsa this week)
-Honor your mother & father, your siblings, your family, your friends…your enemies. (Family I could be doing a bit better keeping them updated…I’m excited to see them in CR soon. Friends I believe so. Blessed not to consider anyone an enemy)
-Release your vanity, release your insecurities. (Nope…not happening just yet but maybe a slight improvement with the help of meditation…)
-Read 24 books this year. (I read 4 so I’m on track)
-Cook more, branch out and try more things, continue to be healthy but do better. (Definitely doing well cooking 90% of my meals but I have my days)
-Eat more greens and eat clean. (I’m making a lot of smoothies and eating more veggies but I still need to up the greens intake)
-Make new friends. (Easy peasy lemon squeezy…makin it happen)
-Be more accepting, more tolerant. (I have noticed improvement here…it’s taken time but definite improvement)
-Explore more, test yourself and embrace your fears…overcome them, you’ve done it before. (Here as well…my fear has subsided for certain adventures and truly left me when considering my future)
-Don’t complain. (Nothing to complain about)
-Continue to become more patient. (I’ve been trying and succeeding but again I have my days)
-No more road rage. (Well now since I’m the slow guy on the road things have changed…but there’s still so many idiots out there…and why do the dogs have to sleep in the middle of the street here?)
-Learn wooden dummy form. (Done, now to improve my form and technique)
-Help others more frequently. (I’m still volunteering but with monkeys and I teach self defense out here and request a donation which goes towards the monkeys…so ✅)
-Heal your heart & soul. (Haha)
-Love more. (Loving other things more, people, nature and life but I still feel a huge void with the love I have to give without being able to love Jessica)
