Unlike the previous year, when I approached my 50th birthday with a sense of unease about unfinished goals, the past year has been one where I lived to the fullest. Interestingly, my own MetaGame™ program played a pivotal role, as I actively participated in it as a student season after season.
Here’s a visual rundown of the year:
- Mastered the workings of Amazon and published four books in English.
- I achieved bestseller status on Amazon for three of my books.
- Acclaimed philosopher Allan Piz wrote the foreword for my latest book, “Success on Autopilot™.”
- Earned a review and recommendation letter from a prominent contemporary philosopher in the USA for my application to the University of Edinburgh’s master’s program.
- Applied to the University of Edinburgh but, despite the rejection, commenced studies at the University of Oxford.
- Secured support from a respected German professor for a two-year program at Oxford.
- Completed various philosophy programs at Oxford and gained two essential certificates for advanced education.
- Became a proud member of the Oxford Philosophical Society.
- Penned an article on my Genialism™ teachings for the Oxford Philosophical Society’s journal.
- Joined the esteemed British Philosophical Society Gerard Circle.
- Conducted vibrant masterclasses in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
- Expanded my worldview significantly by delving into geopolitics, attempting to attend the BRICS summit in South Africa, though visa complications prevented it.
- I spent six months in the UK, traversing the length and breadth of the country.
- Participated in events organized by the British Association of Professional Speakers.
- Transitioned from Britain to Turkey, covering 5000 km by car and exploring France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria along the way.
- Stayed in Luxembourg for a few days and in Austria for a month on the journey from Scotland to Turkey.
- We settled in a house by the sea in Turkey, surrounded by orange, grapefruit, mandarin, and avocado trees, offering a breathtaking view of the sea.
- Established a new home in Turkey (although not our own, it’s our current residence).
- Participated in a Turkish wedding for the first time, impressing all Turkish guests with dances alongside Tanya.
- We faced the loss of our dog Leo (due to a scorpion bite) and cat Kissinger (owing to old age) but welcomed two stray Turkish dogs, Arnold and Pedro, and a cat named Cindy into our home.
- In response to Leo’s unexpected demise, I developed a potent method, the “Leo Method,” for swiftly coping with the negative emotions of losing a loved one or a pet.
- Resumed regular swimming sessions, completing numerous workouts in the Mediterranean Sea.
- Engaged in six international open-water swimming competitions across three seas: the Marble Sea, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
- Significantly improved and launched seven seasons of MetaGame™.
- Participated in five seasons of MetaGame™.
- Conducted numerous webinars on diverse topics.
- Underwent a 24-day fasting period in the summer and commenced another fasting period, abstaining from food for eleven days already.
- Prescribed glasses in Britain, which I wore for two days before realizing they would hinder rather than help my vision. I opted to refuse them and, naturally, fully restored my vision in Turkey over eight months.
As I approach the next year of my life, I’m setting even more audacious goals. But I’ll share those another time…
