This year begins with more gratitude, more prayers, and most importantly, more hard work I hope this year teaches me what I still lack. I hope I become more focused, more disciplined, and more patient with my own journey May I trust the process even when it’s slow. May I stay humble in wins and strong in losses And may I never forget why I started. Here’s to growth, faith, and becoming better one day at a time.”
