Hi everyone, first of all, Merry Christmas to you all. As we're approaching 2023, I had some stuff on my mind.

As the years go by, I'm not be happy with how the year went in terms of progress made / accomplishments but the weird thing is that I don't know what I want so I'm stuck in this cycle of being disappointed with things not going anywhere but at the same I don't know what I want. As I'm typing this post and even a lot of other posts that I've typed, I feel confused about what I'm writing, I'm not sure why but thought I'd point it out.

I haven't been able to say that "this year was fking awesome" yet, I feel minor progress (as in I've learned lessons) but nothing that I'm satisfied with.

I've slowed down on the fastlane stuff and almost forgotten about it, as I'm just focusing on my career right now as it's not something I want to do at this stage (I do have a side project around my skillset with a more casual approach in my spare time, which I guess could be considered fastlane in the future).

I guess I was looking to get your perspective on going forward what I could do to minimize my disappointment / regret going forward. In 2023, I do have a few goals that I know that I 100% want, and which I'll be working towards such as job, travel, some material possessions etc. I spoke to a professional to help me out as well which did help a bit to give me some perspective but I did feel like I wasn't completely understood (this happens quite a lot) Obviously I'm messing up somewhere and have a blind spot, but being always in a state of confusion is quite irritating.

If this post doesn't make sense, apologies in advance.
