🏹2025 🏹 is a Mathematical year 😊!! Yup, my kinda year 😊.
It’s a perfect square year, sq(45) = 2025!!!
Last we had one was in 1936 and won’t have one, well, until most of us Gen Y’s are gone 😉.

As every year, I did receive pot loads of messages and wishes from friends, old & new, business associates and admirers. Yes, I do read every single message that hits my inbox / LinkedIn InMail / Instagram DM. It’s always awesome reading about what the year gone has brought each of you, every share better than your previous year’s share. One that stood out made me reflect on an area of growth for myself.
A frnd, well if Bobby attends me funeral, then I’d know for sure we are frnds 😉, perhaps more business associates, till then, who I had collaborated with in 2021 and into 2022 on a New Zealand client to assist them innovate had a share that was shocking. I had last checked-in on Bobby in 2022 December, he was doing well healthy and hearty. Fast forward to 2024, Bobby had a massive heart attack, quadruple bypass that took him out for 3 months last year. He has almost fully recovered, thank The Infinite Intelligence for that. His lovely wife & family are lucky he has returned to them 2000%. Most importantly, “and returned with a different outlook on what is important from hereon and some refocus on my goals outside of work.”, Bobby wrote in his note. Bobby didn’t indulge in why me or self-pity, he was succinct in his share, upbeat and his spirit stronger than ever!! That’s the right mindset to be in when adversity hits. I am proud of my frnd and former colleague that he has his goals and focus redirected towards his designed dream life. I have always said, dare to design your life . And seeing Bobby doing it, is awesome. If you have not yet designed your life you don’t have to wait for your wake-up call, very few are as lucky as Bobby. So, if you are reading this, and have yet to design your life this is your sign!! Take massive action and get cracking.
The area of growth for me is to make my shares more personal. There was so much that has happened between November ’23 and Jan 2025 and yet all my message to all you humans was my usual upbeat self 😊! Generally, my messages are upbeat, witty, optimistic, cheerful that’s it. I mean very flat very bland, perhaps cause as a person I don’t share my pain, stresses, anxieties, tears etc. with the world. Vibrating between the frequency of gratitude and love gives me insight into The Soul of The Universe and having this powerful perspective helps me channel all I need to deal with my pain, stresses, anxieties etc. that leaves me with very little to no need to share any of it with any other being. Or perhaps cause, as most of you point out to me, am your Intergalactic 👽 Empress who is 25% Vulcan + 25% Betazoid + 25% Venusian + 25% Human 😊. Perhaps why I turn down podcast requests too, don’t need a session with a therapist turned podcaster hahahaha 😉. And reading Bobby’s message, most of your messages have your real-life deep shares btw Bobby’s ain’t the first, triggered a thought (perhaps cause I was open to receiving this thought in that moment) that sharing such experiences assists enrich the depth of connection between beings. It’s rewarding for the being who is sharing cause it reenforces a new synaptic pattern within the brain and for the being listening it’s a sign of being trusted and valued by the being who is sharing. And this ability to share is what differentiates you humans from the rest of the cosmic beings. Fingers crossed, next year’s message to ye all will integrate this new thought, at least there’ll be an attempt 😉. Yes, you can be my accountability partner and see to it that I make true on my new learning. I remember Bala, from my MUWCI school whilst we were studying IB back in the days, had told me, ‘Afrros you should open up a bit more’, I finally understand what Bala meant then. Boo Radley from Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, aka our mate Tapan from MUWCI, is another who’d do better opening up. If you are a Boo Radley too, consider adding ‘opening up’ to your massive action list.
As we step into 2025, here are 9 (had to be cause 2+0+2+5 = 9 😉) loaded weapons to attack your fears uncertainties and obstacles to assist you pave your way to your designed dream life 😊:
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Mind Your Mind 😉:
Nothing kills you faster than your own mind. Be calm. Don't stress over things that are out of your control. Don't let anxiety take over your life. Remind yourself that the worries about the future or regrets about the past aren’t always based in reality.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Mine your Strengths:
Instead of getting stuck in negativity, focus on your strengths, what you've accomplished and the people who care about you.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ You are Enough:
You are going to be OK. Not just someday, but every day.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Confidence, your Ace:
Be confident! Umbrella can't stop the rain but makes us stand in the rain. Confidence may not bring success but gives us power to face any challenge in life. Every storm runs out of rain. Keep going, your sunshine is near.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Harness your Scars:
Your scars are proof of your strength. Wear them with pride.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Keep Breathing:
Keep breathing. Remember, most of your stress comes from the way you respond, not the way life is. Adjust your attitude. Change how you see things. Look for the good in all situations. Take the lesson and find new opportunities to grow. Let all the extra stress, worrying and overthinking go. Keep breathing, everything will be OK.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ 🐝 U:
Always have a unique character like SALT. Its presence is not felt but its absence makes everything tasteless.
✨ 🛡️ ✨ Create Immense Value:
A bottle of water costs:
$0.50 at the supermarket
$2.00 at a cafe,
$5 at the beach,
$10 at a concert,
$15.00 in a luxury hotel
Same water.
The only change is the environment.
If you feel undervalued, maybe you are in the wrong place.
✨ 🛡️ ✨Attract:
If you spent your time chasing butterflies, they will fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. When you focus on improving yourself, everything you want will come to you. We attract based on who we are, not what we want. Don't chase, attract.
Bonus, because you earned it by stopping to read this post of mine 😊. These are the most creative New Year posts that made my feed / inbox to kick in 2025. If you want your new year post / msg to 🐝 showcased in my post make it creative and remember to send it to me next year 😉.
Without a further ado, in no particular order:
Here is looking forward to 2025 !!!
