Questions.

 I still can’t believe the year went so quickly. It still feels like days ago when we celebrated the New Year. I could bet this year is the fastest one in my existence, but it seems every year follows the same pattern. January arrives, and in a nanosecond, we’re preparing for the end of the year. Truly, time flies. I’m just going to ask you a few questions tonight—can I?

  • On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate 2025?
  • If this year were a movie, would it end with a happy ending?
  • Did you laugh as much as you wanted?
  • How many friends did you pick up along the way?
  • What lessons have you learned this year?
  • If you could restart the year all over, what could you have done better?
  • Did you take a risk this year?
  • How many times did you cry?
  • Did you regret making a decision?
  • What is one thing you’re most proud of this year?
  • How is your business this year? Did it go as planned?
  • Did you lose or find a relationship this year?
…the questions keep coming.
  • Who is your favourite person this year?
  • What was the most challenging phase for you this year?
  • What is one thing you quit this year?
  • What promises did you make to yourself this year?
  • Did you enjoy time with your friends and family this year?
  • What is your favourite moment this year?
  • Did you accomplish your resolution for this year?
  • Did you make or lose money this year?
  • What would have made this year a perfect one for you?
  • Did you lose someone close to you?
  • Did you quit your job?
  • Did you start your business like you wanted to?
  • Did you travel abroad?
  • Did you learn new things?
  • What hurts you the most?

I guess I have to stop now. The year is ending, and all I can do is ask questions. Maybe the answers will come with time, or maybe they won’t. For now, I’ll sit with the questions and let them follow me into the new year.

Did you remember the new phone I told you about a few days ago? Yeah? Well, I got back from work today and told myself, I didn’t buy this phone to become a shelf king. Why keep it and not use it? I’d been too lazy to transfer my data because I assumed it would be a long, stressful process. I hardly change phones — in the last 10 years, this would be my third phone. I don’t like changing phones for any reason, which is why I always think long-term whenever I buy one. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I asked ChatGPT how to transfer my data from the old phone to the new one. Apparently, it was a very simple process. I followed the steps exactly as they were laid out, and in a few minutes my 250GB of data began transferring. Since it was going to take hours, I took the opportunity to clean the entire house and do some laundry. Still transferring… so I jumped into the car, went shopping, came back home, had my dinner, and shortly after — everything had been transferred. I went straig...

It’s getting lonely now.

 Hmmmmmm For the first time in many years, the idea of building my family is truly appealing to me. The wife of my youth, my little ones-to-be, my sanctuary, and my heart’s work—all of it is starting to make sense now. I’ve always shied away from any conversation about family; not because I don’t want one, but because I feel I’m not ready. There’s so much I need to put in order, and I feel far from the goals I’ve set for myself. I remember one of my mentors calling me a few months ago to ask about my plans for raising a family. I quickly told him I wasn’t ready—and in truth, I wasn’t. But will I ever be? Today, I went Christmas shopping. Everyone in the store seemed to have their wives and kids with them, picking out what they needed for the holidays. The place was buzzing with excitement—kids choosing their favorite toys, husbands and wives looking at decorations, laughter and chatter filling the air. Looking at it all—the atmosphere, the moment, the feeling—something stirred ...

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t...
