Four Words for 2026

I don’t believe in long resolutions anymore.

I believe in clear words.

For 2026, I’m carrying just four of them:
Films.
Freedom.
Writing.
Spirituality.

Cut to - 

Films—because cinema is not just what I do, it’s how I think, observe, and communicate with the world. It’s the battlefield where discipline, imagination, and execution meet. Beyond passion, cinema is also a space for serious money rotation.

Freedom—because without inner freedom, success is just another cage. I want the freedom to choose my stories, my pace, my people, and my risks.

Writing—because writing keeps me honest. It sharpens my thinking, records my journey, and turns experience into meaning. When I write, I understand myself better. 

Spirituality—because ambition without awareness leads to emptiness. Spirituality keeps me grounded, detached, and aligned while I stay active in the world.

These four words are not goals.
They are directions.

If I stay true to them, outcomes will take care of themselves.
