In Honor of

The 5 Puppies That Changed My Life Forever

Mar 12, 2025

Eighteen years ago, on March 12, 2007, my best friend brought home five tiny puppies.

The day before, she found them abandoned and took them to the SPCA, thinking they’d be safe. But when she called to check on them the next day, she got heartbreaking news—the puppies were too young, and there was no one available to care for them. They might have to be euthanized.

At that moment, I was on a seven-hour drive to my grandmother’s funeral when she called me, asking, “Should we bring them home?”

Without hesitation, I said yes.

That day changed everything. It wasn’t just the day I fell in love with dogs—it was the day the universe sent me my first batch of master teachers: Ciku, Yusni, Golek, Ross, and Oren.

They didn’t just teach me about love and loyalty; they altered the course of my life.

 

How My Dream Got Put on Hold

Before that moment, my dream was clear: start a YouTube channel and an online business teaching guitar, so I could have the financial and time freedom to do whatever I wanted.

I actually did start. I had a few channels. If you scroll back far enough, you’ll find my old videos from 17 years ago, still floating around on YouTube.

But then… I stopped.

Because suddenly, my focus shifted.

I had just discovered how cruelly most people treated dogs, especially mutts—what they call mongrels here. I couldn’t ignore it. Instead of growing my channel, I became a dog rescuer, sharing dog videos instead.

Then in 2013, I got into trouble because some people took offense at one of my videos.

After that, my uploads became rare. Life got busy. I was struggling with work, I was homeless for a time, and honestly, I just didn’t have clarity on what I wanted to share anymore.

But a few months ago, after manifesting the money, a house, and my dog Jihan… I still felt lost.

And that’s when I learned one of the biggest lessons of my life:

👉 There is no grand purpose we need to fulfill. We’re just here to play.

 

Restarting My Dream – The Challenge Begins

So today, March 12, 2025, in honor of the five puppies who changed my life—and all the dogs who have guided me on this journey—

I’m finally restarting the dream I had 18 years ago.

I’m becoming a YouTuber again.

But this time, it’s not just about playing guitar.

It’s about playing with life itself—to see how far I can go in creating financial abundance and time freedom while having fun in the process.

Starting today, I challenge myself to post 1 to 3 long-form videos per week.

I’ll be focusing only on YouTube—no other platforms.

And my success won’t be measured by views, subscribers, or money.

Instead, it will be measured by:

The number of videos I create

The joy I feel in making them

My goal? To celebrate at least 20 videos by my 50th birthday in May.

 

If You’ve Ever Put Your Dream on Hold…

Maybe you’ve put your dream on the shelf too. Maybe life got in the way, or maybe it led you to something even more aligned with your true self.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to pick it back up—this is it.

Let’s stop waiting for the perfect time.

Let’s stop overthinking.

Let’s just play. 🎸✨
