Written weekly from February to July in 2025.
I wrote A Letter from Zaheer as weekly reflections for people like me - people who feel trapped by the pursuit and weight of success, yet long for clarity and peace. This helped me remember what was never broken.
After decades in consulting, banking, fintech, and VC (see professional biography), I now guide others to slow down, dissolve the chase, and rediscover their natural state of presence, purpose, and joy.
If you’ve achieved much, but still quietly wonder if it’s enough… these letters are for you.
Bookmark this page, set a weekly reminder for Sunday mornings, and enjoy quiet contemplation prompted by these letters.
Enjoy!
Attention is like a zoom lens
On the pursuit of happiness, success and desires
What’s your earliest memory of you?
What is love? (And why your answer is your secret to clarity)
What are you pretending not to know?
Where is the current taking you?
What does your armour cost your soul? (And how you can reclaim it)
What are you feeding? (And how it shapes the life only you can live)
How do you measure growth?
Whose approval are you waiting for? (and why it holds you back)
What are you chasing? (And what if you already have it)
I still scroll for affirmation... when the silence gets too loud
You are not a seeker... You are the source.
You were never here to matter... Only to be.
You're not a project.
You're not behind... You're listening.
You think you have time
There was never a you
You’re not a piece... You’re the whole. ↓
Nothing needs fixing. Especially not you.
Hold the mirror. Not the ache. 
You’re not broken. You’re being broken.
Nothing to become. Just be
The birthday of no one
Who is experiencing this?
