Deep dives
Personal Growth and Learning
In terms of personal growth and learning, I would give myself a B plus. Despite facing external challenges and setbacks, I have managed to remain stable and focused. I have taken steps to rebuild my creative groove and have started writing more, including being published in a magazine. Looking ahead, my goal is to continue exploring new opportunities and develop my confidence further.
External Challenges and Personal Balance
Externally, this year has been a bit challenging, earning a D grade. Facing the loss of a parent and being laid off from my job were significant hurdles. However, I have found stability and balance internally, which contributes to an overall positive outlook. I have been able to carry on and maintain positivity, and I feel ready to tackle the new year.
Life in Different Areas
Looking at different areas of my life, I would give a high grade to my family life, with an A+ rating. My son and wife bring joy and fulfillment. Financially, I would give a B-ish rating, as there have been some stretches, but overall, I am managing well. Job-wise, I am content with a solid B rating. However, in terms of my comedy career, I have faced challenges and setbacks, resulting in a D- grade. I recognize the need to refocus and make improvements in this area.
