Another Four Years to Start My New Journey
The end of the next four years will be the starting point of my new journey. Unlike the past three decades, these years are carefully planned, dedicated to mastering the fields that will define my future. By 2028, I aim to have achieved mastery in both business acumen and computer science—two areas essential for the success of my entrepreneurial venture, 123eBusiness.com. I’ve realized that if I don’t take the reins of my life now, I’ll remain stuck, repeating the same patterns of failure and mediocrity.
I’ve carved out the time and energy to focus on learning. Three hours in the morning, three hours in the evening—I dedicate every moment to improving myself. I’ve already noticed that my understanding is growing deeper with each passing day. It’s empowering to feel in control for the first time in my life. I can now say with certainty that I won’t allow the mistakes of the last 30 years to define the next four. These will be years of hard work, focus, and success.
Setting Goals for Success: Financial and Beyond
The goals I’ve set for myself aren’t just about survival—they are about thriving. My primary focus is on financial success. 123eBusiness.com has the potential to grow into a thriving business, but that will only happen if I fully understand the mechanics of both business management and computer science. Without that knowledge, the dream will remain just that—a dream.
But beyond financial success, I’m also aiming for something more meaningful. I want to achieve a greater kind of success—one that transcends money. I want to reclaim my life, to build something that reflects my newfound independence and strength. This isn’t just about making money—it’s about creating a life where I’m proud of who I’ve become. It’s about proving to myself that I’m capable of much more than I’ve been led to believe.
I Won’t Move an Inch Without Aiming at It
One lesson the past 30 years has taught me is that drifting aimlessly gets you nowhere. I can’t afford to waste any more time or energy on things that don’t push me closer to my goals. Every step I take, every decision I make, has to be deliberate and focused. If I don’t aim at my goals, I won’t achieve them. Period.
This mindset shift has been crucial for me. For years, I believed that if I simply worked hard, things would eventually fall into place. But that’s not true. Hard work without direction is futile. Now, every moment of effort is directed toward something specific. Whether it’s learning a new concept in computer science or understanding a business principle, everything has a purpose. I’m no longer just working hard—I’m working smart, too.
Independence in Thought and Execution
One of the most important changes I’ve embraced is the need for independence in my thinking and execution. My parents’ narrow view of the world has held me back for too long. I grew up in a household that lacked vision, ambition, or the belief that success was even attainable. My parents, unfortunately, weren’t equipped to guide me toward a brighter future, and their limitations became mine.
But I’ve decided to let go of that now. I can’t change the past or who they are, but I can change how I respond to it. Moving forward, I am determined to think independently, free from the toxic influence of their small-mindedness. I will execute my plans in a way that aligns with my values, not theirs. This is my life, and I will live it on my own terms.
Acknowledging the Need for Hard Work
I’ve come to terms with the fact that the road ahead won’t be easy. Success, especially the kind I’m aiming for, requires an extraordinary amount of hard work. There are no shortcuts, no easy paths. I have to put in the hours—whether it’s studying, working, or building my business. There will be days where it feels impossible, where I’m tempted to give up. But I can’t afford to stop now.
The struggle, the grind—it’s all part of the process. And for the first time, I’m okay with that. I know what I’m working for, and I know it’s worth it. I’ve wasted too much time already. Now, I’m prepared to put in whatever it takes.
Coming to Terms with the Past
I’ve also had to confront a harsh reality: my parents, in many ways, were a major reason I didn’t find my footing earlier. For most of my life, I’ve felt trapped by their ignorance, their lack of understanding about the world and what it takes to succeed. It’s hard to reconcile that the people who were supposed to guide me instead held me back. My relationship with them has been deeply painful, and I’ve come to see that my future won’t involve relying on them, emotionally or otherwise.
But I refuse to let this define me. Yes, they failed me, but I won’t fail myself. I now know that my success depends on me and me alone. I have the power to create a different future, one that isn’t shaped by the mistakes of my parents or the limitations of the past.
A New Future Beckons
Despite everything, I don’t believe my future is doomed. I have control over what comes next, and I am determined to make the most of the time I have left. These next four years will be my foundation, and after that, the sky’s the limit. I’ll no longer be defined by the last 30 years—I’ll be defined by what I achieve next.
