The end of the year fills most men’s heads with new goals and dreams but sadly few do enough thinking, reenvisioning and rethinking. What if the activity before we leave 2025 is to become more instead of getting more by the end of this year point? I find it interesting how each year we get into the same rut — the pressure, the plan making, the promise making — but what a man’s life changes with is not what he resolves to do January 1st. It is what he resolves upon before the end of December 31st. Here are 10 things that you can do before we leave 2025 and plunge into the year 2026 with vigor, perception, and self-respect — the things backed up by the facts of science, wisdom and practicalities. 1. Audit Your Life, Not Just Your Year Before you set new goals, sit with your journal and ask: What drained my energy this year? What made me feel truly alive? This kind of reflection helps you align your direction with your truth. 📘 Inspired by : “ The Mountain Is You ” by B...
Life is strange, isn't it?
We arrive here with nothing.
No name, no titles, no money.
Just breath.
Just presence.
But somewhere along the way, we’re told to chase.
Chase success. Chase people. Chase more.
We collect things—cars, followers, degrees, compliments.
And we wear them like armor, hoping they’ll prove our worth.
But deep down, I often ask myself:
What if we’re chasing everything, only to leave with nothing?
And what if we’re missing the very point of being alive?
🧠The Quiet Truth No One Talks About
I’ve come to believe that life is not about what we gather in our hands.
It’s about what we nurture in our soul.
○It’s the way we loved,
○The peace we found within,
○The kindness we gave when no one was watching,
○The healing we did that no one clapped for.
“The things you own end up owning you.”
— Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
We exhaust ourselves chasing validation and possessions…
But the soul doesn’t care about the size of your house.
It remembers the size of your heart.
🌻 What Actually Lasts
I’ve met people who had everything and felt empty.
And I’ve met those with nothing but wisdom in their eyes and light in their voice.
It taught me something I’ll never forget:
The most fulfilled people are those who invested in their inner world.
○They read.
○They reflected.
○They meditated.
○They forgave.
○They let go.

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”

💫 Let Your Soul Gain
Every time I sit in silence, I realize my soul needs more attention than my schedule.
I’m learning to:
●Choose peace over applause
●Presence over performance
●Depth over decoration
●Meaning over metrics
And trust me, it's not always easy.
But every time I nourish my soul, I gain something money can’t buy:
Clarity. Contentment. Connection to something higher.
“You may think you need more to be happy. But the truth is, you might just need less.”
— The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
🧘 Die Full, Not Empty
When I leave this world, I don’t want to be known for how much I owned.
I want to be remembered for how deeply I lived.
Because in the end, we all leave with empty hands.
The only thing we truly carry forward is the soul we built.
So here’s my reminder for you (and for myself):
Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.
That’s the real wealth.
