Looking at where I was in January compared to right now is honestly pretty crazy because these last six months were when I finally just locked tf in.

I ran my first full marathon, losed more than 30kgs and I scaled my AI agency to $10k/mo in just four months. Out of the 180+ days so far this year I feel like I won almost all of them, but now we are stepping into the second half of the year and I am terrified of getting too comfortable. It is so easy to grind when you are starting fresh on New Year's with nothing to lose, but staying hungry when you finally have some real traction is a lot harder.

I am writing this down because this is kinda my contract to keep pushing until that January version of me is a distant memory.

The Hit List for the rest of 2026:

Hit $50k/mo since the foundation is done.

Gain 5 more kg of muscle.

Read 12 books (7 already done).

And the Main One: Win the rest of the year by just doing something every single day.

How did your first six months go, guys?

Care and control wear the same face at the start. Both look like attention. Both sound like "I just worry about you." The shift happens slowly, and most people miss it because the early version felt like love. The research on coercive control keeps landing on one uncomfortable point. Control is not always cold or calculated. Sometimes it grows straight out of fear of losing someone.
