So good that I answered the reverse writing prompt 10 months ago! Biggest challenge over the next months? Nailed it!
The hard answer is – dealing with uncertainty without dwelling on the endless negative outcomes. I need my imagination to be helpful.
To translate this unnecessarily complicated sentence that contains the word “dwelling” (who uses dwelling?), imagining versions of the future is a tricky beast. We can plan for it, we can dream about it, but we can’t really know what’s going to happen. So I do my best to not picture future versions of myself and to avoid the Fortune Telling Thinking Error but I try to set some personal goals and chase them.
Apart from my fortune telling negative predictions, I set myself a bunch of personal goals about 1 year ago (November to January):
- 10k steps on average for a year (a New Year resolution)
- Use Jetpack Mobile for reading (since November 2022)
- Blog daily (since mid-January)
- Visit Cherni Vrah (from 2022)
I plan to write a summary about these goals in January but I’m quite happy with myself. My goals were not ambitious enough.
Self-serving I know, but I do sort of like the way my stories look on the Jetpack app.

” Cherni Vrah”… WOW! Rising to 2290 m, the peak is the fourth highest mountain in your country. This is exciting adventure. To be disciplined is good, especially when you have plan for your life…days,… I do admire you, dear Veselin. “My goals weren’t ambitious enough”, I tripped over your statement. Your goals are yours and I think it is not important that your goals are ambitious, it is important that you have goals… Every step is precious and important. There are two points in here, one to have a goal and second one to achieve your goals. Good Luck for your goals and Best Wishes for you with your family, Thank you, Love, nia
