Yes, I know exactly what you are thinking. Why time flies so fast? It is almost the New Year of 2025. I am sure by the time you are watching this, lots have changed.

Are you still living in Canada? What new skills did you learn by now? Are you still chatting to the same friends? What are your favorite songs, cuisines, and movies? Are you single or maybe married? Have you become Apple person or are you still an Android fan? Did you change your hobby again? Did the world get back to normal yet or the new normal is still around?

I am so curious to know if you still remember what we wish to accomplish by the end of 2025?

Let’s recall together?

It is the year 2021, February 17th you are sitting in your cozy bed in Toronto, Canada. Your life has its ups and downs like everyone else’s life. Outside is a global pandemic and you forced to sit at home. You were looking to get a job as Content Creator and no success so far. On the bright side, you put a lot of time into self-development both in your career and personal life. You finally started learning piano and dancing. You are frequently working out and found your passion for visual storytelling. You find out what you are good at and what you love to do. What’s left is to find what pays you well.

Do you remember all you dreams you had for yourself? Even with all the pressure you have. You never liked to share this with people around you. But on other hand you was super optimistic and had those crazy goals.

Physical Look

You were dreaming about getting physically fit and your role model was Michael Vazquez and Jackson Wang. It is an unbelievable challenge to reach his level. But I believe that your wish of changing your life lets you accomplish this dream. Even if you did not reach his level yet, I am sure you are at least halfway there. Just do not give up and push harder, I believe in you!

30 under 30

Yeah, you should remember this crazy one. Well, either you nominated because of Directing a Film or you launched and grew your own Start-up. If you did not, you better be ready to kick your own ass to get that while you still can. So better get moving!

Travel

Well by now nothing should be holding you back. I hope you had a chance to visit Big Apple, Meet some famous people in LA, and surf in Hawaii yet, What about the Bahamas? Is your friend still waiting for you to visit him? Did you have that Portugal trip to see your family? What about Egypt? You always wanted to discover mysterious tombs of Pharaohs? Japan to attend all cool theme parks? Did you walk on the Great Wall of China? Did you visit your friend in Australia as you promised? Even if you visit a few destinations it is already awesome, but never give up this dream, ok?

Hobby

It should be almost 5 years now that you learning piano, did you master at least 10 songs yet? Did you get your own electric piano yet? Do you still enjoy playing Alan Walker, Fairy Tails, Ludovico Einaudi? Or you have a new taste in music? Did you make even one video of yourself playing a full song?

What about your dance skill, have you improved even a tiny bit. Can you do 5–6 K-Pop dance well? Did you learn any other styles? Who are your idols now? Do you even like dancing still?

Books

What about books? Did you write any books yet? You know so much about Leadership, Marketing & Branding, Productivity, Creative Thinking and Filming. I am sure you did write a lot about this. If no, you definitely should, you have so many ideas that you shy away from sharing with others.
Well are you at least reading books frequently? Like once a day or even few time a week. Remember to keep on learning, knowledge is your power.

Language

How is your Spanish learning going? are you fluent yet? Yes, we both know there is no crazy need to learn it, but you always want it for yourself. Hope you are able to understand and speak Spanish by now.

Relationship

Are you still into Asian girls like you used to be? I hope you did not get married yet! But at least start thinking about this. Remember, I want to see you happy, make sure you pick the best girl that loves you and herself equally. Get uncomfortable, go through challenges. But get the one that you will say “Oh Wow” that is my wife when you are in your 80th and 90th. You were always looking upon girls like Madi Teeuws, Cathryn Li, Charly Jordan, so let their example guide you in your choice.

Happiness

Are you happy? I hope you are, if yes, everything else is not that important!

Keep on fighting for what you believe in. I know you and I dream a lot but remember to take more action, I hope you are doing well, being healthy, eating on time, and can do the things we had been dreaming about five years ago. Take care and say “Hi” to me 10 years from now, in 2030!
