Dear Future Self — I Finally Met You

Oct 26, 2025

Reflections on writing my 2028 vision, and how seeing her changed everything.

It wasn’t a business plan — it was a remembering.
A morning in June 2028, coffee in hand, clarity in my bones.
This is the story of how I wrote my next chapter — and met the woman I was always becoming.


Why I wrote it

I’ve been driving business by crafting strategies for years — growth plans, KPIs, roadmaps, all of it. It just never lights my fire. Im all about connection before content, relation before results. Thats why, this time I asked for something else.

I wanted to see what life would look like if everything went better than I dared to hope.
Not just the revenue, not just the stage or the brand deals — but the rhythm of my days, the people around me, the calm inside my body.

What I discovered changed everything.
Writing my 2028 vision wasn’t about setting goals — it was about remembering.
Remembering what I value.
Remembering who I am when I stop rushing.
Remembering what “success” feels like when it’s not borrowed from someone else’s metrics.


The process

I began with a few simple questions: What does an ordinary day in my extraordinary 2028 life feel like? Who’s in my orbit, and what does that say about who you’ve become? How did I change the world? What friends sits around my table? Whats the energy of my name? 

I wrote it in present tense, as if it were already true. Like I was writing the manuscript of my life, describing the end scene. T H I N K I N G  F R O M  T H E  E N D. 
Not “I will,” but “I am.”

Because the future doesn’t wait for permission — it waits for clarity.


What I saw

By 2028, Happy Rebel is not a company — it’s a current.
A movement that has redefined what creative and fearless leadership feels like.

I’m hosting retreats, mentoring visionaries through UNFRAMED, and publishing My first book -  a journey and blueprint aboutThe Art of Courage, Clarity and Creation.

But most importantly: I’m calm.
Grounded.
Free.
Happy.
Brave.

I no longer chase time.
Time moves with me.


Why you should write yours

Because clarity changes everything.
Because your next level of courage doesn’t come from pushing harder — it comes from seeing yourself clearly enough to move differently.

So here’s my invitation:
Before you plan your next quarter, write your next chapter.
Describe it like it’s already real.
Write until you can feel it.

Lets be Happy Rebels and Daring Doers!

Rebel Notes - Q&A

Q: Was it hard to write your 2028 vision?
A: In the beginning, yes. I kept reaching for logic — timelines, targets, to-dos.
Then I realised this wasn’t about control. It was about trust.
Once I started writing from the body instead of the brain, the words came like breath.

Q: Did it surprise you?
A: Completely. I thought I was writing about goals.
Turns out I was writing about home.

Q: What did you learn?
A: That clarity doesn’t arrive fully formed — it’s built word by word. Comes from emotion and the f e e l i n g.  That the version of me I’m becoming already exists — I just had to sit still long enough to hear her speak.

Q: What happens now?
A: I keep walking toward her.
Every decision, every no, every new yes — a breadcrumb on the path back to myself.
