At the end of every year, I conduct a Personal Annual Review.
It's a transformative exercise everyone should do.
7 simple questions that may change your life:

Question 1: What Did I Change My Mind On This Year?
Finding the truth is much more important than being right.
The most successful people enjoy being wrong. They lean into the feeling of being an embarrassing beginner. They embrace new information as software updates to their brains.
What did I change my mind on in 2025?
What software updates did I have this year?
Goal: Identify 2-3 key changes.
Question 2: What Created Energy This Year?
One of my strongest held beliefs is that your outcomes follow your energy.
Reflect on your calendars from the year on a macro scale.
What activities, people, or projects consistently created energy in my life? Write them down.
Did I spend ample time on these Energy Creators or did they get neglected?
Goal: Spend more time on these in 2026.
Question 3: What Drained Energy This Year?
Continue your calendar reflection, but with an inverted focus.
What activities, people, or projects consistently drained energy from my life? Write them down.
Did I allow the Energy Drainers to persist or did I manage them in real time?
Goal: Spend less time on these in 2026.
Question 4: What Were The Boat Anchors In My Life?
Boat Anchors are the people, mindsets, and actions that hold you back from your potential.
Examples:
• People who laugh at your ambition
• Self-limiting beliefs, stories, and mindsets
• Bad habits that cut into your growth
Identify the Boat Anchors that exist in your life.
Goal: Eliminate or minimize the energy you give them in 2026.
Question 5: What Did I Not Do Because Of Fear?
"We suffer more in imagination than in reality." - Seneca
One thing I've learned:
Fear comes from inexperience, not incapability. You're afraid because you haven't done it yet, not because you can't do it. Inexperience is the problem to be solved—and it's solved through having the courage to act.
The thing you fear the most is often the thing you most need to do.
Deconstruct the fears that held you back:
What was the downside if I had taken action? What was the upside if I had taken action?
Goal: Get closer to your fears in 2026.
Question 6: What Were My Greatest Hits & Worst Misses?
Your natural bias skews how you see your year:
• The optimist sees all hits
• The pessimist sees all misses
Take an objective view:
Write down your hits and your misses. Reflect on why the hits hit and the misses missed.
Goal: Develop a balanced perspective on your year.
Question 7: What Did I Learn This Year?
"When you stop learning you start dying." - Albert Einstein
It's easy to lose sight of your progress and growth when you're zoomed in. The final question pushes you to zoom out and reclaim your perspective.
Take your time on this one. Reflect on the other questions from the exercise.
Write down what you've learned.
Goal: Identify 5-10 transformative learnings.

“वृक्ष कभी इस बात पर व्यथित नहीं होता, कि उसने कितने पुष्प खो दिये,
वह सदैव नए फूलों के सृजन में व्यस्त रहता है,
जीवन में क्या खो गया इसकी पीड़ा को भूलकर क्या नया कर सकते हैं, इसी में जीवन की सार्थकता है”
Good morning 🌞

In 1975, the release of Sholay set a new benchmark in Indian cinema, becoming an unforgettable cultural phenomenon.
The same year marked the beginning of another epic tale in the energy sector of India. #GuessWhat?

Make a lot of money, create multiple sources of income because this world is very cruel to poor.
Social media algos are designed to keep you engage, under delusion and hope, it is not designed to make you successful. Don't waste much time on social media
