My Extraordinary Year in Review: 2021 — Part 1

For the past 5+ years, I have had the privilege to work at Mindvalley — a learning experience company that publishes ideas and teachings by the best authors in personal growth, wellbeing, spirituality, productivity, mindfulness, and more.

During my time in Mindvalley, I got the chance to learn a lot about personal growth, and I did manage to pick up a few valuable habits along the way. However, one thing that has been eluding me is the so-called "personal end-of-year review."

Since 2021 has been both an exciting and challenging year for me, I decided to sit down and do some much-needed self-reflection.

Main Goals

Looking back at 2021, I had two primary goals in mind:

  1. I wanted to start and maintain an engineering-focused blog
  2. I wanted to become a Senior Web Developer

I am happy to say I accomplished both of those goals. In addition, I gained a lot of valuable experience and knowledge. But I will get to that in a little bit.
