2025 is indeed a year full of rollercoasters , I had my good and bad days but in all I'm grateful for the gift of life, because that's an opportunity for better and brighter days.
I accomplished some goals, ticked most of my boxes and also established the businesses I had in mind, although most of them didn't end well, but I would count them as one of my experiences.
I learnt the most lessons this year and one of the most remarkable lessons is how to manage my emotions and handle pressure calmly, because I had the most down time this year and I realized I had to learn to control my emotions and handle pressure to avoid making more mistakes.
Earlier this year, I had big and unimaginable dreams, summarized my NYSC program and as a young graduate I stayed awake daily sending out mails, filling every job form and scholarship forms ,I had countless career dreams and I still do, but then I had some disappointment, some unforeseen circumstances came too, but I was never discouraged.
For a while, I got really depressed, felt like I wasn't getting things right , felt pressured, because as a young graduate, there was alot of expectations from home .
I had to start a different job, engaged in a career path I never dreamt of, but then my mum will always remind me that life is full of stages and this is just my little beginning, there's no need running too fast.
I didn't get my dream or a perfect job this year, which was at the top of my goal for the year but I haven't given up and I won't give up too .
I'm yet to achieve that and I believe I will.
The second experience I had that really got me down was investing in a poultry business,my first sales was great, but my last two sales was so painful.
The chicks got sick, cost of medication and I lost up to half at some point, that was really discouraging, I gave up on the business at some point, I got really scared and had no urge to keep up with it.
What really kept me going was my family and friends.
This was really the most painful part of the year, it broke me , but I'm not giving up , because it's a huge part of learning, like they say failure is part of learning, so I won't give up.
I haven't lost hope because I'm alive, even if I don't actualize them in the remaining days of the year, I still have next year and I also have the zeal to keep trying next year , to keep reapplying and putting all the required efforts to achieve my dreams the coming year.
The year is about to end, not my dream, not my time or my ambition.
There's no pressure or negativity, because this is a phase in life that will pass in no time.
And for many other things I was able to achieve, I'm grateful and happy I did and I still believe in miracles , if a miracle happens the few days of the year, I would be the most grateful too.
