Last year, I had no time for anything else apart from dealing with business, both issues, and development. I barely maintained my health, sleep, and relationships. Sometimes I wonder what influences me to work hard in life. One after another, and another, I manage to keep myself busy, exhausted, and excited. These experiences and memories are teaching me new things, and giving me confidence to become a sensible person—and to make more money. I guess that might be the main reason my brain influences me to stay here, in this game—the game of making money. Yes, I finally feel that I have become very business-minded.
Last year, the biggest hurdle I faced was managing TIME. If you come to think of it, both health and time have something similar: we don’t notice either of them until they are gone. In the year that passed, I pushed myself too much both physically and mentally. My body—although almost gave up on me—somehow survived. It has learnt to recover quickly, but that’s something I shouldn’t take for granted.
I understand that materialistic goals have their own limits and costs, but I still don’t understand to what extent I should welcome the effects. Would I one day regret the precious TIME that I trade to get there? Perhaps, only TIME can say that. Right now, all I can do is what makes me happy; and satisfied. I am addicted to what I do. But I know that I have to improve. Hopefully, my brain will figure out just the right amount of salt to the recipe of life as I go.
Building a million-dollar business is easier than I initially thought, but building a joyful life? Perhaps, not so much. A joyful life needs the human brain to function at its best—and at least now, I understand that. Transferring our experience and memories to joy is a mix of art and science. And I’m still a beginner in the process; and TIME is my biggest enemy.
In 2023, my main focus lies on conceptualizing a business model for a mega renewable energy farm in the UK market. Since I was able to build a decent, trustworthy team over the years to leave my other businesses with, it is now a great opportunity for me to test my design skills and put my experience into practice in a large-scale project.
Cruising through the UK with my sweetheart—my motorcycle—is another plan I have for this year. I’m at the seven sisters by the cliffs today, and my eyes are excited to see what nature can offer us. I have a couple of crucial legal battles to fight in the future months, while I’m expecting to take another boxing fight by the end of the year. Also Champ, Conan, Junior, and I are planning to start a fundraising project to support underprivileged children and abandoned, injured animals in Sri Lanka by this summer.
And from what I see now, I want to write a few more articles this year about the financial crimes ecosystem in the UK, and put my emotions and experiences into words. Come to think of it, I genuinely missed "writing my blog" the whole of last year.
Anyways, in another ten months, it's going to be another new year—and I hope I will learn some meaningful lessons and create some beautiful memories this year to take me with.
