I had this interesting feeling to record an episode that was like a time capsule, for the August 30, 2022 version of me to look back on and enjoy. I invite you to do a similar thing to appreciate this current moment we are all in right now. The time will fly by either way.
Prompts I Gave For Myself to Answer
A time you were thankful for someones' goodness -
My roommate Hiram got me a free Pizza from Domino's and it was BBQ chicken with tomatoes and BBQ sauce as the sauce
Something you enjoy doing -
I like juggling for a few minutes before work, and also shooting some hoops in the tiny court near my apartment.
A person you recently met that you are thankful for -
Jason.
A recent memory that makes you smile -
Throwing frisbee with Tim in the park
A book I am reading -
"QB My life Behind The Spiral" by Steve Young
Something I am working on - m
Myself.
Something I am looking forward to -
Being able to inspire more people as I have figured out a lot of things
A recent adventure I am glad I went on - I went to the Stukent boating trip even though I was feeling very low (didn’t mention it in the time capsule though lol)
A recent journal entry -
8/17/21
"God sees me. God loves me. Writing truly helps me so much. I am learning lots. Meet the Robinsons is an amazing movie! Keep moving forward
"A quote to live by" -
Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain - Mark Twain
"Advice for my future self"
You have always been thoughtful for others. I would encourage you to use that energy to also help you be thoughtful for yourself.
What I love about you
Dallin I love that you are willing to keep trying even when you make a mistake. You see that your gifts do have value and you try to share that with the world.
The hopes I have for you
I hope that you are spreading your wings as far as you possibly can, sticking together with the friends and family that have helped you get this far. Keep reaching out and building up those others whom you can call friend. Wherever you are make sure that you are making time for yourself and to build yourself up.
In one year
I would like to have given at least one TEDx talk and have finished up at least two books to inspire the next generation. I would also like to have an email newsletter that I enjoy writing and has at least 500 subscribers.
