One of the most significant decisions I made in the past was taking out a large bank loan. At the time, I thought it was the right move, but it ended up putting a lot of pressure on my life. I found myself stuckโstruggling to make ends meet, constantly stressed about repayments, and feeling like I couldnโt move forward.
But that difficult period became one of the biggest learning experiences of my life. It taught me the value of financial discipline, the importance of living within my means, and how crucial it is to think long-term. I worked hard, made sacrifices, and today, Iโm proud to say I am totally and fully debt-free.
That journey not only made me stronger financially, but it also helped me grow mentally. Now, I approach money and decisions with much more awareness and responsibility.

If I could be any character, I would choose “Simpleman”โthe very hero from my own book, “Simpleman โ The Rise of an Unlikely Hero.”
Writing this story allowed me to pour my values, dreams, and struggles into a character who represents hope, resilience, and quiet strength in a chaotic world.
Simpleman is not your typical heroโhe’s flawed, real, and deeply humanโbut thatโs what makes his rise so powerful. His journey reminds us that greatness often comes from the most unexpected places. The book is out now, especially on Amazon, and itโs a story that means the world to me.
The Meaning Behind My First Ever Song โ โMy Burning Markโ
Every line in “My Burning Mark” comes from a real place deep inside me. This song is not just about musicโitโs about overcoming, about standing back up after life has knocked you down, and about the scars that turn into strength.
There were times I felt broken, defeated, and silenced. Times when the storms of life tried to wash away who I was. But instead of giving in, I chose to fight back, to dig deeper, and to rise stronger. I wrote this song from those dark placesโnot to dwell in them, but to shine a light through them.
๐ โIโve been knocked down too many timesโฆโ These words reflect every setback, every failure, and every moment of doubt. But theyโre also a reminder: I got back up. Again and again.
๐ฅ โTurn the pain to power, light the sparkโฆโ This is the heart of the songโturning pain into power, not letting the world put out your flame. That flame is your passion, your purpose, your burning mark.
๐ช โIโm unbreakableโฆโ Not because I havenโt been broken, but because I chose not to stay broken. Weโre all going through something. This song is for anyone whoโs ever been told theyโre not enough, whoโs ever wanted to give upโbut didnโt.
This song is my story. But it could be yours too.
๐ง Now streaming on Spotify and all major platforms.
“My Burning Mark”
[Verse 1] Iโve been knocked down too many times Lost my footing in the climb But here I stand heart in my chest Bet you thought Iโd lay to rest
[Verse 2] The storms they came to steal my ground But my roots dug deep they wonโt back down Iโve blurred the tears Iโve fought the ache Built a fire no winds can shake
[Chorus] Iโm unbreakable canโt be torn apart With every crack Iโve grown a stronger heart Turn the pain to power light the spark No shadowโs stronger than my burning mark
[Verse 3] The echoes tried to drown my voice Iโve learned to rise and make the choice To stand my ground and face the fear Defiance screams for all to hear
[Bridge] I am the stone that bends but wonโt divide Born of battles and the waves that cried This skin may scar but it tells my stories Every break writes another gloryโฆ
[Chorus] Ohhhโฆ Iโm unbreakable canโt be torn apart With every crack Iโve grown a stronger heart Turn the pain to power light the spark No shadowโs stronger than my burning mark
Ohhhโฆ My burning markโฆ
Let โMy Burning Markโ be the anthem for your own comeback, your own healing, your own strength.
Let this song remind you: No shadow is stronger than your light.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a wake-up call for me. It made me realize how fragile life is and how important it is to prioritize my healthโboth physically and mentally. Instead of dwelling on negativity, I chose to focus on self-care, healthy habits, and emotional well-being. I started exercising regularly, eating better, and making time for mindfulness. I also learned to let go of stressors that didnโt serve me and to appreciate the little things in life. The pandemic taught me that life is too short to focus on negativity, so I now embrace each day with gratitude, optimism, and a commitment to staying healthy.
