As the year 2022 comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the achievements and transformations that have shaped our lives. For me, this year has been particularly significant as I embarked on a path towards a healthier lifestyle and pursued my passion with unwavering determination.

Prioritizing Health and Purpose:

After witnessing the hardships of the Covid-19 pandemic and experiencing personal loss, I realized the importance of leading a purposeful and healthy life. It became clear to me that I needed a clear vision of what I wanted to accomplish in the year ahead.

Pursuing my Passion:

With this newfound clarity, I made the decision to retire from my active permanent job that no longer aligned with my aspirations. I redirected my focus towards my passion for AR, VR, and gaming. Over the course of eight months, I developed and released ten games under the name ‘BlackDemon India’ on the Android Store. This leap allowed me to explore my creative potential and make a meaningful impact in the gaming industry.

Prioritizing Health and Fitness:

Recognizing the need for proper health guidance, I joined a renowned gym, Gold’s Gym, along with a dedicated trainer in September 2022. With a controlled diet, abstaining from alcohol, and regular exercise, I successfully shed 15 kilograms and experienced a rejuvenation that made me feel 10-15 years younger. This transformation reinforced my belief that good health is the greatest wealth, enabling us to add more years to our lives and approach our endeavors with renewed vigor.

Embracing Personal Fulfillment:

Through my personal journey, I have come to a profound realization that the widely accepted notion of Work Hard – Party Harder, After working hour booz, Friday night revelries with colleagues whom you will compete next day working, mindlessly striving to outshine others in the corporate rat race, and surrendering to the demands of an unsatisfying boss – is nothing but a deceptive fallacy. True fulfillment lies in aligning our work with our passions and loving what we do. If our current job fails to provide that sense of purpose, it’s essential to explore alternative options that will bring us closer to personal fulfillment and happiness.

As I look back on the year 2022, I am grateful for the transformative journey I have undertaken. The significant weight loss, the pursuit of my passion, and the realization that health and purpose are paramount have shaped my perspective on life. I urge everyone to prioritize their well-being, chase their dreams, and seek fulfillment in every aspect of life. Let us make each day count and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." -  words of Steve Jobs
