I am sitting in the airport lounge. While my phone battery is dying I am thinking about how far I've actually come. For me the whole journey has been about one thing i.e “Don't look back, don't look down, just keep moving” It’s been 5 years since my dad passed away. For the first 3 years it didn’t hit me as I was in college enjoying life and everything but as college life got over I got a reality check of how this world functions. That's when I realised I needed to get dead serious about this. No more excuses will work I'm still learning, still figuring things out. But these past 2 years I've reached a level I personally didn't think I'd ever get to. Looking around now, I see the same pattern everywhere. People around me are some making it, some not. I was exactly where they are once. Difference is I chose to keep going when it got hard. What I've learned so far about success👇 1. Most people spend all their energy reacting to problems, putting out fires around them 2.. The ones who win handle the chaos while still moving forward 3. Progress isn't about never struggling. It's about what you do when everything's falling apart and nobody's watching 4. Your late night moments where you are alone, exhausted, questioning if it's worth it. That's where it's decided 5. When darkness hits and pressure builds, remember what you've survived to get here As 2025 is coming to an end, remember you won't go down, you'll rise. And when you do, you'll look back and realize every struggle was building you for this. Keep moving. The rest will follow.
