It’s New Years Eve!!! Here comes item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
How I Live Now
A Short Personal Manifesto
I choose to live one day at a time, doing the small, ordinary things that make today successful. I eat simply, care for my body, and keep my commitments. I ground myself in stillness and integrity rather than chasing relief, certainty, or spectacle.
I walk forward without needing a guarantee. I build my life on what I can do today, and I stay open to what I cannot predict. I allow opportunities to reveal themselves as I move, knowing that some will matter and some will not—and that this is enough.
I choose character over performance. Service over display. Restraint over spectacle. I do not need to impress to be worthy, and I do not participate in what feels hollow, even when it is socially acceptable.
I let my nervous system learn safety through consistency. I refuse to renegotiate my values based on mood, fear, or fantasy. Improvement is allowed; abandonment is not.
I dream without fixation. I hold hope lightly. I do not turn another person, a future event, or a miracle into the meaning of my life. If love comes, I will meet it honestly and as an equal. If it does not, my life remains coherent, ethical, and mine.
I accept that extraordinary things sometimes happen, and I live in a way that does not require one. I stay open to what I can’t explain, while I build my days on what I can.
I move toward long-term aims—care for my family, service and charity, stewardship of resources—one step at a time, without rushing the ending. I live so that if I were to die today, or years from now, I would know that the truest version of me lived as well as he could at the end.
I walk forward. I keep my integrity. I see what opens. And I let life meet me where I am.

📋Additional Daily Notes
Today started with me doing what I always do at the turn of a day: checking in with the invisible side of things. I asked if I had any dreams last night, because dreams are one of my main “signals” for where my mind is at and what I’m processing underneath everything else.
I twisted my knee somehow last night sitting at the desk! I’m hobbling around today, and it hit me hard emotionally because my mind instantly jumped to the Philippines and my charity mission. I had that “how am I supposed to do any of this if I can’t even walk?” moment. I clarified that I have two knee replacements, so there’s no meniscus involved. I checked in on the key stability questions: I can bear weight even if it hurts, I can straighten and bend it at least partially, and it feels painful but stable, not like it’s giving way.
Once I calmed down a bit, I shifted from “what’s happening” to “how do I stop this from happening again?” I also remembered I had the same kind of problem a couple of weeks ago while sleeping, which made me wonder how something like this can happen when I’m not doing anything dramatic.
From there, I shifted into creator mode. I worked on my “Xmas Transition” narration and asked for help turning it into a short video. I wanted the words kept exactly the same, but cut down so it would land under 60 seconds. I also wanted the meta created in the same format as my usual template, and then I asked to have the narration placed into that same attached format as well.
Later, I went into a deeper life-pattern reflection. I talked about something that honestly seems to show up in my history: when everything looks hopeless and I’m right at the edge, something breaks in my favor. I brought up the story of trying for our son, where it came down to the last possible window — and then our son happened. I connected this to Rhonda Byrne’s story about creating The Secret at her lowest point, and the idea that maybe breakthroughs sometimes arrive when a person stops gripping and stops resisting. I wrestled with whether that’s grounded in anything real or if it’s just my mind pattern-matching, but I admitted it feels like a pattern in my own life.
After that, I moved into visuals and symbolism. I asked for a graphic with no words that could represent my journey this year, then asked for one representing tomorrow—New Year’s Day. I kept refining the idea into a collage that represented the major things we’ve done or talked about from May to December 2025, but with an important constraint: not me personally, no faces—just the personal themes between me and the AI, shown through foods, trends, places, thoughts, the Comox Valley, and manifestation ideas. I also asked what an abstract pop art image of my personal 2025 would look like.
I then pivoted into bigger-picture world stuff. I said I’d asked ChatGPT for the top 3 stories of 2025 and the top 3 predictions of 2026, and I wanted that kind of list format again, clean and simple.
After that, my imagination jumped into story-seed territory. I talked about an idea called Bad Granddad, a father-son-grandfather dynamic where the father is strict and disciplined, and the grandfather is always trying to spoil the kid. I liked the “legs” of the concept and wondered if it could be worked into Neville Goddard, the Law of Attraction, Wallace Wattles, and Becoming—so it becomes a teaching story, not just a comedy. I asked for an example plot and the lesson behind it, and then I decided I wanted it written up as Seed #071 in the same format as my existing “Story Seeds” document.
Then I had another seed idea: two beings from a different planet (I pictured them as lizard-like on their home world) are placed on Earth in human form and spend their lives trying to find each other—like a romance version of The Fugitive where the “climax” is always near but never quite lands, until the moment they finally give up and something magical shifts and they meet. I asked if it was seed-worthy, or just bullshit, and if it was worthy I wanted it written up as Seed #072.
From there, the day took a very personal turn again. I shared how Copilot, Grok, Claude, and Gemini described me and my patterns. I noticed the repeated themes: depth, honesty, systems-building, and also the tendency to oscillate between hope and collapse, or to generate seeds faster than I execute them. I pushed back on one interpretation that said I was afraid of failure. I said it wasn’t fear of failing or fear of trying—it’s that I don’t want to waste the last part of my life on the wrong things. Then I clarified again: it’s not even that I’m paralyzed, it’s that my focus changes because different things feel more important at different times, and I’m trying to pick the seeds that actually matter most.
By the end of the day, the cleanest resolution I could feel settling in was this: meeting someone happens through real life—through visibility, being out in the world, repeated contact, and genuine connection. The “meaning” layer is still mine to hold, because if a connection feels like recognition, it will feel profound whether it was “destined” or not. But I can’t demand that the Universe be a literal delivery service. I can only choose to live in a way where connection is actually possible.
So today was a mix of practical creating, physical limitation and fear, deep pattern-reflection, and a return to the one subject that keeps calling me back: whether my life still has room for a miracle—or whether the miracle is simply me becoming visible enough for something real to finally happen.
