4th June 2026: It’s a special day for me today, not just only because I turned 31 today, but also because this is my 1000th blog I’m writing. In the past 5 years, I have come a long way. From not even wanting to write a “Thank you” post as a reply to the birthday wishes I used get on my Facebook feed to publishing my 1000th blog today. Yes, I have come a long way.

Today I can proudly say I have achieved more things in the last 5 years than the rest of 26 years put together. I have my personal brand, which is influencing thousands of people all over the world. I have traveled to 20 countries out of which Canada was one of my favourite. I studied there and here are all the reasons why I chose Canada for my further studies. Made 300+ vlogs for my travel and lifestyle channel on Youtube which just surpassed 500,000 subscribers. A big Thank you to my audience.

The number 30 was a nightmare for me. When I was in my early 20’s I used to get scared thinking of the fact that after 30 years of age I’ll be stuck in a location-specific job, taking up more and more responsibilities, and loosing my freedom. However, today I successfully completed 31 years and life has never been more awesome. :D

The world is my corporate office. Me, along with my hard and smart working team members have made this company one of the leading services providing company in its industry. With more than 100 clients, providing value is at the core of our company’s mission. However, we don’t have a fixed corporate office, and I think that’s the best part. Here’s a glimpse from our quarterly meeting held at Wyoming, USA. 😉

The journey was not easy. There were times when I wanted to give up and get back to my miserable mediocre life. Where I’d get up in the morning with no purpose in life, spend 8 hours at a job which I didn’t like, come back home and watch Netflix and have a beer, go to bed and start the robotic life all over again the next day. That was easy. Because you are not required to put any effort. You are in your comfort zone. The life which I’m living today, has come from a strong vision, consistency and focus. It pushes your limits and take you out of your comfort zone.

The fun has just begun. Now is the time to repeat what I did 5 years back. It’s time to set new goals. Create a new vision. Write another version of myself which I want to see in the year 2031. As per my parents and my beautiful wife, the next goal should be to plan a baby. I guess they are right. After all, my contribution towards increasing the population matters as well. Don’t you think? :P

You know what’s the greatest thing about living your best life is? You will never want to retire. So, stop living for the weekends and start working towards your dream life today. What do you want to be after 5 years? What’s your version 2.0? 😊
