In business school, I teach about the balance between long term aspirational goals and short to medium term achievable goals. The latter are meant to be challenging, reachable, and measurable, and there are very relevant for business success, however I found that in my personal life it’s the former that truly has shaped my journey.

I always aspired to strike a balance between economic security and leisure, to find harmony between family and work, and to explore the mysteries of our existence and our relationship with the divine. These aspirations guided me beyond the practical, inspiring me to create a life that was not just successful, but deeply fulfilling.
