Three months ago, I decided to go all in. Fix my habits. Fix my diet. Fix my discipline.

I removed every quick dopamine habit from my life, anything that gave me an easy reward without effort. Removing those shortcuts changed everything.

Without the instant highs, I had no choice but to find new sources of satisfaction. What I found instead was progress, discipline, achievement, purpose, and creation. Those became the only things that actually made me feel something.

In these three months, I have achieved more than I have in the last four years combined. I finally brought Gifted Angels to life after talking about it for years. I built an entire brand from nothing while still working in real estate and even got two deals under contract during all of it.

But the truth is nothing in me feels satisfied. Not because I am ungrateful, but because I know I am nowhere near the version of myself I am working toward. There is still so much to do, and sometimes that thought alone is exhausting.

These three months have been some of the hardest months of my life. I have been restless, emotional, irritable, sensitive, and bouncing between intense motivation and burnout. I changed the entire source of my dopamine. I rewired my brain.

I healed myself from the inside out. I faced things from my past that I kept buried for years. And at the same time, I hit one of the lowest points of my life.

That was when everything shifted. The moment it felt like everything was falling apart was the moment I knew something had to change.

I am still healing. I am still growing. I am still learning to balance ambition with peace and discipline with patience.

But here is what I know. I will not go back to who I used to be. Not after everything I have built, sacrificed, and faced in these last three months.

This version of me has only just begun.
