  • The Truth That Mocks


    In which the Truth mocks the author and goals are set.

    The person I awake and see every day in the mirror isn’t the person I am. He is not the person I had envisioned but he is the truth. A truth that stands mocking me for what I have become. I am sick of him and I have decided to become the person I have imagined for myself.

    In order to become the person I wish to be, I need to set some goals as a start. I have chosen four things that would be the catalyst for my change.

    1) Enroll in a degree program

    2) Reduce my weight to 65kg

    3) Get my driver’s license

    4) Write, publish and sell my book

    Well, I better start working my ass off from today.
