?2021? – The year I will never forget. This was a year marked with endless battles, and challenges that were beyond my skill set but I felt as if God was testing me all this while to see how far would I go to achieve what he set in my heart to achieve for the good of the world.

Nevertheless, I can proudly say that I always gave my best to become a better version of myself and to serve at a higher level with every single passing day. Now, I do not hesitate to say that I am so much stronger, better, and wiser than when it all started.

As Julius Caesar aptly said, “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.”

This really kept me going every time I faced obstacles in the way of accomplishing the goals that I felt charged to achieve. This year was 100% an incline up and I will continue to climb as I go. In the end, I really want to thank the trials and the tribulations that made me the man I am be HIS grace! So many Phoenix moments and now the fulfillment that comes from consistently sacrificing weaker versions of yourself on the altar of progress, personal evolution and self-transcendence. To everything of value there is an appropriate process of purification and transmutation required. To avoid pain and challenge is to avoid growth.

Here we go into another year where I will fight faithfully and we will all elevate together.
