I wasn’t born into a struggle. My family was well-off. The golden spoon was there, polished and waiting, ready for me to hold it without question. But something in me resisted. I didn’t want my life to be measured in what I had inherited. I wanted it to be measured in what I had made….

That call was the start of the day, like muscle memory. “Happy Father’s Day, Daddy,” I’d say, usually still half-asleep. There was something grounding about…

In today’s fast-paced world, where every day brings a new challenge and distraction, many of us find ourselves yearning for something deeper-a life that feels truly fulfilling.
