A Decade Worth Of Goals | 10000 Things To Work On

This should keep me busy for a while. In Episode #529 of 'Meanderings', I unpack the “midlife crisis” I’ve been hinting at for months and explain how finally reaching a one-arm handstand left me asking, “what now?” That question, mixed with a rough patch of illness, renovation stress and my brother being away, pushed me into a deeper reflection on meaning, direction and long-term goals. Looking up at the night sky sparked an old fascination with space, and while I briefly entertained becoming an astronaut, I realised the lifestyle and trade-offs didn’t match the life I actually want to build. So instead, I’ve created a new framework: a set of big, interconnected 10,000-themed goals that I want to pursue over the long term. They span every major area of life, from giving 10,000% effort in love, teaching 10,000 people yoga and aiming to become a top 10k hand balancer, through to 10,000 acts of kindness, 10,000 days without porn, 10,000 hours of live streaming, and the wildest ones of all: becoming one of the first 10,000 people to step on the moon and a top 10k holder of BTC. It’s a conversation about building a life with cohesion, choosing goals that reinforce each other and setting a direction big enough to carry me well beyond the next yearly review.
