“The first step is always the hardest, but it’s also the one that changes everything.”
It’s crazy how many times I’ve told myself I’m going to start a routine. I’ve made the lists, drawn up the perfect schedules, convinced myself that tomorrow is the day I’ll finally get my life together. But tomorrow comes, and nothing happens.
It’s like I’m waiting for some magical switch to flip—waiting for the perfect moment when everything lines up, and I can start living like the version of myself I know I’m meant to be.
But here’s the truth: the perfect moment doesn’t exist. It never has, and it never will.
I’m 21 years old, and I feel like I’m running out of time. Every day I wake up thinking, “Today I need to make a change,” but then life happens. I get caught up in work, in my own thoughts, in my excuses.
And the worst part? I know exactly what I need to do.
I know I need a routine. I know I need structure. But I keep waiting—waiting for the motivation to hit, waiting for things to magically fall into place.
Enough. I’m done waiting.
Yesterday, I took the first step. I published my first post, and damn, it felt good. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. And today, I’m ready to publish my second post.
The fact that I have my own website, my own platform to share my thoughts, my journey—it feels incredible. This is what I’ve always wanted, and now it’s real.
But if I don’t set up a routine, if I don’t stick to it, this moment of excitement will pass, and I’ll be back to square one. I refuse to let that happen.
This Is What I’m Going To Do!
So today, I’m committing to something simple: I’m going to build a routine that works for me.
No more overcomplicating things. No more waiting for the perfect plan. It’s about doing, experimenting, and figuring it out as I go. I’ve got a job that takes up a lot of my time, but I also know where the gaps are.
I know when I can carve out time for myself—time to create, time to explore, time to push myself.
If you have an idea in your mind—execute it. If I don’t do that, I’ll never become the person I know I can be. The version of me that’s inside, waiting to break free.
Don’t waste time thinking too much. That’s what I’ve been doing for years, and it’s gotten me nowhere. From now on, I’m trying everything. I’ll stick with what works and throw out the rest. Simple as that.
I’m building a routine that aligns with who I am. One that leaves room for creativity, for growth, for the things that actually matter. And most importantly, I’m sticking to it. No more half-assed attempts. No more quitting when it gets hard.
This is now or never.
I’m not backing down. Every day, I’m going to transform. Little by little, I’m going to become something great. And when people look back at this journey, they’ll see the change in real-time.
They’ll see that I showed up, every damn day, and put in the work.
I don’t have much time left. Youth is fleeting, and I can feel it slipping through my fingers. This is my time to make something of myself. This is my era of action—of becoming.
I’m all fired up.
Now it’s time to act

P.S. I have made a simple routine that I can’t share right now for obvious reasons… But I have got some amazing and interesting things up my sleeves… So yeah, I’ll see you in some time or tomorrow, who knows? I am done for the day!
