Two days ago, on March 16, I turned 41.
And for the first time in a long time, I did not feel pressure to have everything figured out. Instead, I felt something different—clarity.
This year feels like a turning point. Not because everything is aligned, but because I finally made a decision: I am going all in on myself. Starting Serjos Global is not just about business. It is about ownership. Of my path, my voice, and my growth.
And the truth is, I am still learning.
Not just how to build something—but how to manage myself while I build it.
Lately, the biggest lesson has been forgiveness.
Forgiving others, yes—but more importantly, forgiving myself.
Because if I am honest, I have been moving fast for years… but not always moving forward.
“Voy a toda marcha, pero poco avanzo.”
That line… that is me.
Strong. Driven. Always going.
But sometimes still carrying things that slow me down.
Old reactions. Old wounds. Old versions of myself that show up when I am triggered.
But something shifted.
“Y ya no puedo ir más pa’ abajo, así que me levanto.”
That is where I am now.
Not at the top. Not finished. But I am not going down anymore.
I am choosing to get up.
What I am learning now is that growth is not about becoming someone new. It is about becoming aware. Catching yourself in the moment. Pausing when everything in you wants to react. Choosing a different response—even when it feels unnatural.
That is discipline.
That is growth.
Forgiveness has been a big part of this.
Letting go of resentment. Letting go of guilt. Letting go of the need to replay things over and over again in my head. Not because it did not matter—but because I do not want to carry it anymore.
And that takes control.
Real control.
So now I am practicing:
Pausing before reacting.
Not taking everything personally.
Responding instead of escalating.
Giving myself grace when I do not get it right.
Because I do not always get it right.
But I am aware now.
And that changes everything.
And when I look back…
“Y miro hacia atrás y el camino ha sido largo.”
It really has.
Long. Messy. Unexpected.
But also powerful.
And I am still going.
“Voy porque voy, aunque falte pa’ llegar al punto más alto.”
I am not there yet—but I am moving.
And I am learning that I cannot build something meaningful while constantly judging past versions of myself. I have to forgive her too. The one who did not know better. The one who reacted. The one who was just trying to survive.
Because this next version of me needs space to grow.
So this chapter of my life is about building two things at the same time:
A business… and emotional discipline.
A vision… and inner peace.
A future… and a stronger version of me.
Serjos is what people will see.
But the real work?
That is internal.
“Y yo mantengo el curso mientras tenga pulso.”
That feels like a promise.
As long as I am here—I keep going. I keep growing. I keep choosing better.
I am learning that having a big character is not something I need to shrink.
It is something I need to lead.
And maybe that is what 41 is for me.
Not perfection.
Not arrival.
But alignment.
And the courage to keep becoming.
“Esta canción es pa’ los survivors.”
And I know now—
I am one of them.
