Memories of September 11th on the 20 year anniversary
Today is September 11th, 2021. It is 20 years since 9/11, the day that changed everything for me. I was 26, working in a dead-end job with no prospects. The events of that day were a catalyst which forced me to explore other options, which indirectly led to the many successes I have enjoyed in life.
Today, as a 46 year old, I am seriously contemplating early retirement in the foreseeable future. I live a comfortable life, and I count my blessings every day.
Life is good.
Today is very much a day for quiet reflection.
I have achieved so much over the last 20 years, and I am proud of that. But there is still so much more for me to do, and I never want to be lazy or complacent.
I have taken a couple of months off my blog to enjoy the summer with family and friends, after all the stress and loneliness of the previous 18 months of the pandemic.
Now seems to be the perfect time for me to return to my daily blog posts, and to move forward.
Project 365
I set up this website after deciding that I want to build a more creative life for myself, so I can give up my job and be in control of my own destiny.
I have set myself a goal of publishing an article on my website every day this year, to document my journey from employment to self-employment.
The name I chose was Project 365 because I see this as a year that I have dedicated to learning and self-development, as I countdown to freedom. It started on 1st January 2021, and I have 173 posts to go!
I have decided to set up a blog, and to document my adventures in life through it.
