There was a time when I thought personal growth was something they could do, but not me. I told myself I wasn’t interested. I distanced myself from anything that could improve me or help me reach my full potential to avoid another defeat.
That changed in 2021. I reached a point where I couldn’t pretend to be content with my circumstances or myself anymore. The fear of failing was gone because the fear of the future I was heading for was worse. In June, I decided to give my full focus on personal growth to reach the potential I hoped was hidden somewhere deep inside.
Through the process, I noted every setback, every success, and every lesson. I journaled about what I had done and how it affected me. After more than a year of doing this, I revisited my old notes and was amazed by how much I’d learned. I began to wonder how I could use this knowledge to improve the world and help other young men who are in a similar situation as I was.
In August 2022, I began planning for the blog you’re reading now. In October that year, I felt ready and published my first 3 posts about habits.
Today I work to regularly update the website next to my studies, but my main focus is still on self-improvement. I guess it always will be.

Other interests
Self-improvement is my passion, but it isn’t my only interest. Here are 6 things I enjoy but rarely write about.
Working out
I love working out. The gym is where I spend most of my time besides writing. It helps me practice discipline that I can use in other areas of my life.
Reading
I spend an hour every night reading, and books were crucial for my growth. I prefer self-help, psychology, and philosophy. You can find my favorite books here.
Exploring the world
I love to explore. New parts of my city, new countries, and new cultures. The feeling of being an outsider and everything feeling new and fresh makes me feel like a kid again.
Yoga
I never thought I would love yoga as much as I do, but today I couldn’t live without it. I practice every night and continue to be amazed at how much my body can do.
Meditation
I meditate as often as possible, sometimes several times a day. Life becomes easier when you have a place of peace within yourself.
Entrepreneurship
I’m fascinated with how people can take their dreams and turn them into reality. I love starting things myself or helping my friends succeed with theirs.
