My 2025 Resolutions and Wishes: Building Balance and Purpose

2023 was the year I left business behind to focus on my passions.
2024 was the year I left my passions behind to focus on business.
2025? It’s the year I aim to find balance and well-being.

Let me explain. 👇

Breaking Free from the Work-Only Mindset

I was raised to believe that work comes before everything else. That success means putting in extra hours, grinding endlessly, and that anything else — passions, hobbies, or even health — could wait.

But this year, I had an important realization: my passions aren’t obstacles to success. They’re the driving force behind it. The things that make me feel alive, curious, and inspired aren’t distractions — they’re fuel.

So, I’ve restructured my life around what truly matters to me. I’m no longer willing to sacrifice passions for business or business for passions. I want both, and I’m determined to build a life that makes sense.

A New Structure for Growth and Fulfillment

In 2025, my days won’t just be about work; they’ll be about creating a rhythm that energizes me and reflects who I am. Here’s what that looks like:

• Writing projects focused on my family’s history in China: Exploring my roots, documenting stories that shaped who I am.
• An hour a day for learning foreign languages: Because languages connect us to new cultures, perspectives, and business opportunities.
• 1.5 hours of sports, four times a week: Physical strength fuels mental strength. No compromises here.

People often say:
“You’re going to burn out.”
“It’s too much at once.”
“You have to choose in life.”

No. I refuse to choose.
I combine. I build. I create a cycle that makes sense.

Clear Goals for 2025

I know where I’m headed, and I’m excited to share these resolutions with you:

💪 Languages for business: Focus on Mandarin, Russian, Romanian, and German to expand my global connections.
📖 Publish my first book: A personal project capturing my family’s journey and heritage.
🏃‍♂️ New fitness challenges: Pushing myself physically to stay strong, focused, and resilient.

But beyond these personal goals, I also want to invest in projects that have meaning. Not just for money or status, but to create something that helps others and leaves a lasting impact.

Relearning and Reskilling

In addition to these goals, I’m also going back to something I’ve put off for too long: learning to code. Programming has always fascinated me, but for years, it felt like an impenetrable wall. In 2025, I’m determined to break through it. Not just to “understand it” but to really master it. It’s time to finally make sense of this world of logic and creativity.

Why It Matters

This path isn’t always simple. There are moments of doubt, uncertainty, and fatigue. But for the first time, I feel truly aligned with my values. I’m building a life where passions and work feed each other, where balance is a priority, and where every action has a purpose.

I’m not chasing success just for the sake of it. I’m chasing a life where success is defined by growth, contribution, and fulfillment. A life where I can look back and know that I didn’t just work hard — I lived fully.

Here’s to 2025: a year of balance, intention, and impact. Let’s make it count.
