As of now, I have written 88 articles for Medium. When I declare how many I was going to write for this year 2021. Michal Malewicz asked me on Twitter… so that helps kick jump my journey. As November will be coming to a close, and I have 2 more articles to follow. Then I have one more month to write 8 more.

Green text that says 88 in numbers

I know this might sound a bit crazy or just out of this world. I always thought to myself, what can I write about and what if I get stuck. Well… yeah, some months are like that, but that is when I start to talk to other people and listen to their stories and struggles. The word struggle has a lot of meaning for everyone. Some are more than others, but in what might be unpleasant for us, it might be easy for others, correct? So how can we change it in hindsight and how can we move the knob on the radio to play a different song?

So what would be this famous song that will make everything right?! We have Jazz, rock and roll, country, top-40, and the list goes on? Having looked back on what I have perceived, listening to other people about how they have overcome their own goals, or lately being stumped. What can they do to make the song go to the next song and not repeat it? When we think about music, it can inspire us and bring those memories, either good or bad.

I know I rely on music to get my day going, and even write this article. I presume there is a saying that “Music is life itself” by Louis Armstrong. Such a wonderful saying, and it's so true. Music plays a huge role in everyone’s life. I started this article about my year goal and sticking to it. No matter what actually happened last year, I can say I stuck to that goal. So I have to keep what I learn and make it happen for 2022. Again, another year to make something happen and stick to it. Again, how many articles should I write for next year? Only time will tell. Until then, focus on you and your goals.

Believe accessibility is everything!
