It’s been a while since I had some time to sit down and share my thoughts. Wondering where I’ve been? Life has been quite the whirlwind, with countless things demanding my attention. I’ve embarked on a new chapter in my study and business journey, and it’s been a mix of exhilarating growth and challenging setbacks. Over the years, I’ve launched and nurtured numerous ventures—some have failed, while others are still in the process of growing. However, I wouldn’t call any of them a success just yet, as I’m still striving toward my ultimate goals.

Recently, I’ve faced real-life challenges that have tested my resilience. I started a new course, launched a trademarked clothing brand, and I must confess, this has been one of the most trying times of my life. I’m writing down my thoughts today, though I’m not sure if this will ever be published. But if you’re reading this now—well, it made it out there! Yesterday, a friend reminded me about this blog and how he’s looking forward to reading more posts. The truth is, life has kept me incredibly busy lately, and I felt I should share what’s been going on with you all.

It’s 4 a.m. as I write this, unable to sleep. Insomnia has been a frequent companion as I think about my new business and strategise for its future. For months now, my sleep has been short and restless, and migraines have become all too familiar. But despite it all, I keep pushing forward. There’s a fire within me that refuses to let me give up. Life is not fair, neither is it a bed of roses, but over the years, I’ve heard countless discouraging words and faced disappointing experiences—none of which has and will not stop me. I’m strong-willed, and I won’t back down this time either.

To be honest, my new business has brought its fair share of challenges. Have I thought about quitting? Absolutely, and it wouldn’t be the first time. Every day, I wake up and remind myself to keep my head up and keep moving forward. Life throws many obstacles our way, but how we respond to these challenges determines our outcome.

If you’ve been following my blog, you know I’ve often spoken about my childhood. That’s because my parents played a crucial role in shaping who I am today. I never saw them quit. Until my dad’s last breath, he kept his head high. It’s such a shame he passed away so young. My mom, though—she’s my superstar! She’s still as vibrant as I remember, and now you see where I get my high spirits from.

Today, I’m not here to talk about my childhood. I’m writing this to encourage you—to remind you that you’re doing great. Keep pushing forward, and don’t give up. Just like you, I have my downtimes, and I’ve wanted to quit many times. But remember, you only see people’s successes, not the struggles behind them. There are so many people out there, striving to become better, just like you are. Don’t see yourself as a loser. If you’re not where you want to be right now, it doesn’t mean you won’t get there eventually. Take each day as it comes. As long as you don’t quit, you’re getting closer every day. Rest when needed, and then rise again.

I know social media can make you feel like you’re not doing enough or that you’re failing, but let me tell you something: social media is not real life—it’s a mirage. Hey, you’re wonderful, and the universe will reward all your hard work someday. Don’t give up! Keep moving forward.

Thinking about what my new business is all about? It’s a clothing brand, and I’ve also introduced high-quality back-to-school shoes for kids. Visit my website dunnilondon.com to find out more.
