“2026 Motto: No Gree For Yourself.
Sometimes, it’s not your enemies stopping you; it’s not your village people; it’s you who is stopping you.
Laziness, fear of failure, fear of what people will say, fear of the unknown.
This year, don’t allow yourself to stop you.
No gree for yourself
Throw fear away.
Make that move, make that big call, take that bold step.
That positive thing that scares you the most, that’s what you should do in 2026″.
