Soul Burning Motivation
Hello, konnichiwa and welcome to my blog! My name is Dan and I have a fierce passion for life, personal development and striving to be the best version of myself I can possibly be (for those gamers out there, remember that feeling of maxing out your character, level 100 Gyarados anyone?).
Lighting a similar fire in others is what brings me joy, and is also the main reason I started this blog. I hope to encourage my readers to grind hard and strive for their goals in life, whether it be to improve their fitness, secure that promotion, make more room for the important people in their lives or even to set up some goals to begin aiming at!
Challenge and Self-Development
While posts on motivation, dedication and the hints and tricks to getting work done efficiently will form the backbone of my content, alongside this I will be posting about the challenges and adventures I have faced in my lifetime which have no doubt tested my limits, but have also increased my confidence, mental and physical fortitude and the need to continue bettering myself.
Of course I also have plans to post upcoming challenges and adventures which are on my list, and will be reporting training plans/study routines etc. in the lead up!
Land of the Rising Sun
The third and final section of my blog will be about me and my daily life in Japan, bringing you the good, bad and damnright ugly of this intriguing country in all of its glory.
I have been living here for over 6 years and with a good grasp of the culture and strong command of the local language, you can bet that I have more than a couple of juicy stories to share. So get that brew on and pull up a sandbag because its story time!
