6 Big Goals I’m working on to Achieve! (UPDATED!)

-


When setting out on my pursuit for my dreams and happiness I set myself 7 big goals to achieve. Now I’m staring at a piece of paper with only 6 goals. Did I achieve one of them? Spoiler: No I didn’t, I’ve just updated what I’m aiming for.

 The 7th goal that is missing from my list was the achievement of being featured on a TV show. This isn’t something I’d rule out forever but it isn’t a sole and specific interest of mine any more. It’s restrictive. I covered my changed feelings towards TV auditions in my cleverly titled video ‘TV auditions are turning me off!’. Me featuring on a TV show will be a by-product of my other successes. It doesn’t need to be a sole focus. I’m trying to build something bigger.

 Another alteration to my list is in the love department. Originally I said I wanted to find ‘True love’. I’ve changed that. I just want to find love. It’s not that I don’t believe in true love any more because I 100% do. It’s just that I came to realise that my need for love was based around my insecurities. It wasn’t a healthy goal to have. To find love is the starting point.

 Anyway, here is the updated summary of the big 6 goals I’m working to achieve! Enjoy:

 1. Get a book published (A book of great significance):

 I want to write a timeless book. Evergreen, a piece of the ages. It will almost be like one long poem. Significant. Aiming to help people extract the dream within them and also ignite their spirit. I’m going to write it my own way, ignoring the traditional rules. I want a breakthrough and a unique approach. This is representing something different. A breakthrough significant text is unlikely to adhere to the mainstream rules and structures of modern literature. Pretentious as this is, I think it’s the only way to stand out and it feels right. I’ll send the final manuscript to agents and publishers and see if I can get it published via the traditional routes. If this fails then I’ll self publish.

 2. Improve my fitness (‘Rocky’ style montage):

 My exercise is a life long commitment. My ultimate goal is to become reasonably pain-free and develop a consistent and sustainable exercise routine. It has to keep me at a healthy weight. I’m bound to always have a few aches and pains here as that’s a natural consequence of regular intense exercise. When I feel I’ve finally hit this level I want to put together a ‘Rocky’ style training montage to emulate one of my life and fitness heroes. Hopefully, I’ll inspire some people along the way.

 3. Host my own TV Show (Late Night, Comedy segments, Travel):

 The success and attention generated from my YouTube channel will result in TV being interested in my work and wanting to translate my content onto their platform. I’d love to make a show with comedy segments and challenges. Or a travel show going around the world and making things funny. The holy grail would be becoming an American Late Nigth host whilst incorporating all these elements.

 4. Find love (Italian?):

 I’ve always had a thing for Italian women. From a young age. I can’t help it. Whoever I find love in, they don’t have to be Italian. It’s just a slight preference. It’s not as if I’ve been learning Italian or anything… I’d just like to make a meaningful connection with someone. Molto bene!

 5. Reach 100,000 YouTube Subscribers (100k) [Sustainability]:

 It’s not about the numbers, it’s about reaching as many people as possible and bringing them value and having an impact. The numbers allow me to sustain my work. The more I can sustain what I do the more I can help others and also accomplish my goals. I want to be what my idols were / are to me. I’m striving for that silver YouTube 100k play button award. I have a clear vision of myself lifting it up and seeing my reflection in the silver. It’ll be a beautiful life moment. Only slightly more enjoyable than actually looking at myself in a mirror.

 6. Improve my comedy and reach my potential:

 The weird goal, this is the hardest one to know when it’s been achieved. I want to improve my camera presence, my comedy and general wit. It’s about mastering myself. I feel this goal will also be a natural consequence of achieving my other goals because if they are realised then most likely this one will have been as a result!

 Well, there you have it! These are my 6 Big Goals I’m working to achieve! They’re pretty ambitious, but I like it that way. They’re true to me. I’m documenting my whole journey of making these dreams a reality on my YouTube channel. Stick around and watch things unfold! Cya at the top!

Hope Hill (Poem)

This is a poem I wrote. When Hopelessness meets hope.  Hope Hill The rain drains down the pane, Falling faster, Let the chaos reign. The tired town strains but holds, As a view of madness unfolds. Staring outwards now enticed, Restless hounds uneasy, Clouds awake, The downfall pours, Streets empty as perceived, A chance for solitary, Your pain relieved. Now hurry, Run, Be quick, If you want this trance to stick. Nothing hurts, Nothing matters, Even with your dreams in tatters. Venturing out beyond all reason, Embracing the lonely season. Content with misery, Legs beating down harder than the fall, An incline slippery and steep, As the world vanishes beneath your feet, Consumed by clouds that weep. Reaching the top wasn’t worth the view, A bleak outlook faces you. Even though it hurts still smile, As storms like these only last a while. Make your way down, Rejoin the town, As if it never happe...

Shining Veneto (Poem)

Beneath the sun in shining Veneto, Wondering freely alongside warm radiant houses, Clinging vines embrace the structures, Pastel streets developing, Town life unfolds slowly, Strolling as you wonder, How did you ever forget this? There's love in shining Veneto, Love around every corner, Love propped up by every barstool, Love flies by on every cycle, Enough love to make you a fool. Love in every face that passes, Love on the street, A chance for bliss, In those you meet. I'll learn the language you'll soon see, Then you'll finally be with me. Away from what I know, We'll take our time, To watch our vineyard grow. A new love will mature so pure and true, My answer to life was always you. Take my hand, Lead me to where things don't hurt any more, A small touch of kindness travels a long way, Bypassing cynicism and misery, A new love anchored and here to stay. As our feelings build, The vineya...

How To Stop Mosquitoes From Biting You! (7 Ways To Stop Them!)

Mosquitoes can be a massive nuisance, especially when travelling. Wouldn’t it be great if you could dramatically reduce your risk of getting bitten? The good news is I know how to, as I managed to visit Italy for 2 weeks without getting a single bite! Yes, that is correct, no bites for 2 whole weeks! I didn’t just stay indoors all day and night, I ventured out to ‘high risk’ places in the evening and sat out in the open under artificial lights! Still no bites! Here are my 7 ways to stop mosquitoes from biting you! Enjoy and I hope this helps!: 1. Window sticker for your hotel room: When we travel we always pack a sticker which says ‘Please do not open the window thank you’. We stick this on the handle as the maids who clean the hotel rooms tend to leave the windows open. It may make the room fresher, but it lets in a lot of unnecessary mosquitoes! You can always bring a piece of paper and some tape, just make sure that the sign is written in the native language of the country ...
