[Inspiration | Musing] 2025 a quiet storm

Everything happens for a reason, and for good, and much intended by the universe. 2025 was a quiet storm brewing in the distance. We accepted it with grace and eventually grit to weather it. Through the cloudy days we guided our thoughts in the grind of reality, we worked through it, all thanks to the power of love and with an open mind. 

Just breathe, we told ourselves, silently, in the dark, at the crack of dawn, between rumbling sheets and fallen leaves as season changed. Time played witness to our endurance behind the curtains of uncertainty, softly caressing and testing our patience and tenacity, adversity in the face of changing circumstances. We are grateful no matter. 

A change of new locale and environment breathed fresh air and perspective this 2025. The lack of opportunities in some ways forced us into dwelling deeper within, in search of our true ikigai and what is meant for us, the days or coming year(s). How should we live with clarity, intention and meaning. 

A new meaning emerged - CHANGE is inevitable to grow, to transform and to aspire to become a better self, one who can bring value and inspire quiet presence, while dancing in the noise of new big environment and societal pursue of speed, technology and another form of intelligence - way more powerful than we can imagine. Some fear it, others embrace and ride with it. We love to explore new frontiers, therefore found it to be intriguing and powerful, yet we approached it with a degree of reservation and restraint. It gave us a different perspective of working with it, which we are excited about it for 2026 and beyond. 

We believe in this new era, true human voice matters more than ever. Let's do this. Make it happen and 2026 is a time we all should be looking forward to - with gusto! 

Wishing everyone a very happy new year of 2026 and see you on the other side of eternal sunshine with occasional cloudy and romantic tropical rain - elusive yet alluring nonetheless. 

With love,
