How I Spent My Year 2012

I've spent a lot of my time this year focusing on myself. Taking a step back, looking at the good times I cherish, and the hard times that humbled me. I've been putting it together to see how all of that has affected who I am today.

I'm gaining a much better understanding of myself now. I really starting to understand what makes me tick, what inspires me to take bold steps, and what kind people/things hold me back.

I think know the right formula for me to move on (at least I think I do). I just have to put it all together.

A big part of that formula is getting my career back on track. Because when I have financial freedom, I can go out and spend more time with people that inspire me.

That's why my career has been my top priority for the past year.

Anyways, without any further ado, for my 9th straight year, here is my annual survey.

How I Spent My Year 2011

For the 9th straight year, this is my annual End of the Year blog post that I publish mainly for myself. You are more than welcome to read it (all 9 pages of it), but more realistically, I invite you to do the same survey for yourself. =]

Out of all the years I've done so far, this one was by far the most difficult. This post has been a struggle with finding the right balance of sharing how I really feel and respecting the privacy of some people. It was also a struggle of trying to reflect on everything in a positive way, without reopening certain wounds.

Without any further ado...

Seven Sins Survey

It's that time of the year again. 40 days and 40 nights. What am I gonna give up this year? Last year I gave up elevators. But that started to fail when I moved offices and kept getting lost in my new building.

This year, I'll be giving up desserts and other chocolatey, sugary goodnesses. Except for on my birthday, in which case a cake is required.

This is gonna be hard. Especially cuz of Valentine's day and the fact that I'm in charge of buying birthday cakes at the office.

But if I screw up this year, it won't be the first time. Besides, there's a bunch of other sins I've got to worry about. Here I present to you the Sins Survey [via Sherwin]:
