I remember when the year 2025 started, I thought I would be unshakeable or feel no pressure from people regarding my relationship status. I may have said it a lot to others that I don't feel the pressure but deep down somewhere, I felt pressured. But I learnt a thing about myself last year regarding this, that I don't act on pressure.
I may think about it, but acting on it was what I didn't do and somehow, I even raised my guard up even more because I've seen what desperation has cost people. Last year also thought me that indeed, I shouldn't live my life for anyone. People will always talk so it's best to do what I want and allow them say what they want.
I've learnt that before last year but somehow, I kept forgetting until what happened in last year that retaught me and now I'm seeing this year with a better perspective. The lessons of year 2025 didn't end there, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to share all the lessons I learnt but I'm very grateful for each of them even if some were hard.
Another thing last year taught me was to be wiser with my investment moves. I know the lessons may not been well taught as I could still fall for another investment plan along the line in the year but I know very well that last year taught me a hard lesson with my money. I know better to trust my instincts dare to invest anyways.
My experience with learning a skill in 2025 taught me more about myself, how I think and the areas I need to work on. Self development is a side I'm lacking a lot on but last year have opened my mind more to see my lapses and where I need to step it up for myself, for my purpose as a human and for my family, all to the creator's own glory.
If I do have the opportunity to do better or change anything about myself which of course I do have so long I'm still alive, it is to dare myself more. Like someone's new year resolution says "People will shift for me this year!", I totally relate to that and I'm taking a stand by it for this year. Last year, I wanted to make greater impact, I did it.
This year, I'm going on a direction I don't know how it would look like but I have a great leader who is taking charge of what is to come so I don't fall into danger or feel alone, abandoned or lost. I want to do many things for myself this year, enough of putting everyone else first but it doesn't mean I'll put everyone else aside either.
Year 2026 has just started and it's been from one improvement to another, one new knowledge to another, one memory from last year's lesson to another... All are shaping me for the best year yet to happen. I'm excited about this better journey.
