I tried to handle everything at once and almost broke in the process. 2025 tested me in every possible way. I thought I could do it all... grow my business, stay fit, learn new things, manage work, health, and everything in between. But life hit harder than expected. I met with an accident. Gained the most weight I’ve ever had. And somewhere in between recovery and responsibility, I still had to keep showing up. There were days I worked through pain. days I wanted to pause, but I didn’t. Because I’ve learned one thing... progress doesn’t wait for perfect timing. So, I kept going. And this year, I: → Scaled my business to $150K → Gave identity to my agency, Syft Media → Learned a new skill, playing tennis → Bought my first property and second too → Delivered my first TED Talk → Got nominated for a national award → Conducted my first session at IIT Looking back, I realize the problem was never ambition. It was believing I had to do it all effortlessly. I didn’t. I just had to do it... even when it hurt. 2025 wasn’t a year of balance. It was a year of building through chaos. Of choosing action over excuses. Of realizing that strength isn’t loud... It’s consistent. If you’re walking into 2026 feeling overwhelmed, you don’t need calm to win. You just need conviction to keep going. [2025, reflections, adulting]
