I am enough.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Silence is an acceptable response.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

This year, all year, I’m finally giving back to myself - unapologetically.

No more seeking validation from people who can’t respect themselves. No more harping on unsolicited opinions from people who’ve never put the work in. Just me, pouring into me.

With love 🤍

But yet in 2025👇

I made close to $750K, moved into a high rise downtown apartment, bought a 2026 AMG coupe, gave all of myself to others so they can thrive, and still was a 100% present father to an ASD daughter.

I almost lost it all not being truly present for myself.

Closed chapters 👇

2025 has been the most humbling year I’ve ever lived. I’ve lost my best friend, lost a half a million+ dollars, experienced depression (for the first time & not even knowing), and felt the most isolated in my life…

Comprehension & empathy.

$100K months, nonnegotiable.

You’ve already achieved goals you said would make you happy.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Repeat, repeatedly👇

Become comfortable in the uncomfortable.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Deleted my Instagram and quickly noticed how people react when they ask for it.

It forces an unbiased conversation, removes comparison anxiety, and shifts the power dynamic to the current moment (you cant “hit me later”).

It’s a modern day superpower. Enigma

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Certain people need to tell me they're proud of me, that’d mean a lot to me…

Not havin' closure, it take a lot out of me, this year for Christmas, I just want apologies 🖤

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Accept me at my weakest, support me at my strongest.

At this delicate point of my life, crave appreciation more than anything else.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

No one can NEVER question my integrity.

I take care of my daughter, family, extended family, and close friends - and most times, before myself.

I built this table, not everyone can sit.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

@American_Social the Sunday DJ is horrible. Might as well pass the AUX. #Respectfully

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

“Too worried about status instead of salary.” ugh 🔥

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Manifested this 🥹

Now projected 7 figures by 2025. Unbelievable how rock bottom can build a strong foundation.

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Still projected 6 figures this year. 😎

[Will Axelrod @WillSmooth]

Imagine finding someone who listens without judgement, speaks with intention, & supports with integrity.

Imagine.
