Life Intentions, Goals and Guides: 2008-2014 Archive

The following is an archive of some of my early life intentions, goals and guidelines from my later years of university through the beginning stages of my transformation.

Over the last two years, I have been diligently downsizing my digital world, deleting the vast majority of all the documents, spreadsheets, photos and videos that I had saved on my computer. In 2022, I deleted about 90% of everything that I had. The purpose of this action is to live more deeply in the present moment and to break free from the computer.

Today I am publishing a few documents that together make up the last document that I had saved on my computer.

I am entering into a state of complete transparency, where everything that I produce is public, and I have nothing that is just my own. This state my last for life or it may be a temporary experiment. But certainly there is nothing prior to December 18th, 2024 left, except what is publicly available under the Creative Commons on my website and social media channels.

I thought some people would be interested in seeing these foundational documents from a foundational time of my life. I also just could not bring myself to delete them.

Here is the PDF: Life intentions, Goals and Guides 2008-2014 Archive and below is a summary of the contents of the document.

Sustainability house printouts at my apartment in San Diego 2011-2013 (pages 3-12)

Basics to Ethical and Healthy Eating (pages 3-5)

This is a Green House (pages 6-8)

Better Life 02/07/12 (pages 15-16)
These were some of my goals and objectives early on in my awakening to live a “better life.” A “better life” meant one that was in more alignment with Earth and of benefit to Earth, my fellow humans and the plants and animals we share this home with. It also meant a life of health, happiness and freedom.

Be Happy, Healthy, and Free (page 19)

I printed out a new sheet each week and changed the items on the document as desired from week to week. I started this practice in 2011 or 2012. This document is likely from 2012, but I’m not sure. It could be 2013.

My Life (page 20)
This is a life guide that I created for myself, likely written in 2013, but I am not certain of exactly when.
