The weekend cometh! Hang on, one more day! 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 began in an unusual way — the kind of unusual that doesn’t arrive with fireworks or drama, but with the quiet feeling that something inside reality behaved differently than it normally does.
Last night I was in a deep sleep, dreaming about my knee and how much it hurt. That part wasn’t strange by itself — dreams are often tied to the body, and pain or discomfort can absolutely imprint onto the subconscious landscape.
But what happened next was something I’ve never experienced before.
When I woke up, I was still thinking about my knee… and it was like the dream-thought and the waking-thought were exactly the same. There was no separation. No reset. No “that was just a dream.” Instead, it felt as though the dream continued through the doorway of waking consciousness, carrying the exact same focus, sensation, and narrative into the morning.
It was eerie — not scary, just profoundly noticeable. Like I had somehow caught myself in the act of crossing from one world into another, but without losing the thread between them.
In talking it through, it became clear: the dream wasn’t inventing a sensation. It was amplifying a real signal. The knee was already sending information… and my sleeping mind turned up the volume and wrapped it in awareness. That amplification didn’t stop instantly when I woke up, which is why the continuity felt so intense and so rare.
If there was an “answer” in that moment, it wasn’t only about the knee. It was a demonstration that the boundary between states is thinner than we assume — that mind and body are always in conversation — and that awareness itself can persist across thresholds when something is strong enough to anchor it.
And then… the day unfolded in the way days do.
I slept in for most of it.
Late in the afternoon, I got an email: my order for business cards from Staples was ready. That alone felt like a small milestone. I drove out to Staples to pick them up — and immediately found out they had messed up the order. Instead of giving me 1,000 business cards, they only gave me 100 (see photo to the right).
For a moment, it was an annoyance — the kind of tiny friction that life likes to insert into forward motion. But then the situation did what it so often does in my world: it flipped.
The guy told me they would print another 1,000 tomorrow, and for my trouble I would receive an extra 100 cards.
So the mistake didn’t become a setback. It became a bonus. A weird little proof that sometimes reality “misfires” in a way that ends up giving more than expected.
Still, the business cards themselves were only “okay.” They came out decent, but I immediately noticed that the gold lettering felt a bit tiny. It made me wonder if it would have been better to use a larger font size or even switch to white lettering for better readability. But even so — I decided not to debate it endlessly. These were usable. They were real. The product existed in my hands.
And then I did something that matters more than design.
I distributed.
I went to Walmart and picked up some hot dogs, some Ezekiel bread, and a jar of jam — and I even started thinking through a practical little food move for later: cooking the hot dogs in the air fryer first, then wrapping them in Ezekiel bread and crisping them again to make a toasted “bun” effect. (Oddly enough, I love how business-building and dinner-planning now coexist as equally real parts of my Becoming life.)
But the main action of the day wasn’t food.
It was deployment.
I proceeded to place the business cards around Comox and Courtenay in multiple locations: in the Walmart washroom, at the McDonald’s at Walmart, at bus stops, and at various places where people pause, wait, or sit — the little in-between places where curiosity has time to surface.
In the end, I placed 50 cards throughout the Valley.
Fifty.
That number mattered. It was real-world effort. It was visibility. It was outreach in physical reality — not digital theory, not planning, not perfecting.
A couple hours later, I went to check to see if anybody had signed up for the newsletter yet.
Nobody had.
And for a moment, that could have been discouraging — if I framed it as failure. But it wasn’t failure. It was simply the first data point in a longer experiment. People don’t always scan immediately. They sometimes take the card, put it in a pocket, and act later. Even if nothing happens tonight, the seed is now planted in the field.
That’s the deeper win of the day: I’m not just imagining systems. I’m putting them into circulation.
So that was the day.
A dream that carried into waking life without breaking.
A business milestone that arrived imperfect but tangible.
A printing error that turned into extra inventory.
Fifty cards placed into the real world — into Comox, Courtenay, the hospital, the places where life quietly passes through.
And a final check that showed nothing yet — not because nothing is happening, but because some things take longer than an hour to emerge.
In the end, today felt like a true Becoming day.
Not glamorous. Not dramatic.
But real.
And maybe that’s the whole message: progress does not always arrive as fireworks. Sometimes it arrives as a small stack of cards in your hand, a few hours of quiet distribution, and the calm decision to keep going even before the evidence shows up.
