The start of a new year often brings excitement and pressure as people set fresh goals, make resolutions, and chase big ambitions.
I plan to move forward with more courage and slow down intentionally. It's a year to pursue meaningful goals without losing myself along the way.
If I had to sum up my intention for 2026 in one sentence, it would be this:
In 2026, I will build influence through my work with long-term inner cultivation and consistent creation.
It’s simple, but it holds importance for me. It reminds me that whatever I share with the world must come from a strong foundation.
Lately, I’ve been focusing more on the quieter parts of the process: reading, observing, reflecting, and writing ideas that may never be published.
I’m also reflecting on what consistency truly means: no pressure, no volume, but a steady commitment to show up in sustainable ways.
I’m not chasing viral moments; I’m focused on work that lasts. That means continuing to write, record, and think out loud at a natural, unforced pace. Slow growth still counts.
On this website, I will continue to delve into leadership, decision-making, long-term thinking, and personal and professional growth without urgency.
Some posts will be refined, while others remain exploratory, with ideas still developing.
If you’re entering this year with less urgency and more trust—trust in time, in process, and in steady effort.
I’m glad you’re here.
Here’s to a year of building quietly, creating thoughtfully and consistently, and becoming more ourselves along the way.
Happy 2026!
Warmly,
Shujian
