Good morning everyone, happy Thursday to you. Being able to make it through the 12 months hasn't been an easy task for me ranging from the good days, the bad days, days I feel like giving up, days I feel like staying strong. Definitely 2023 has taught me a whole lot.

The Year 2023 started perfectly but along the line a whole lot happened which really taught me great lessons. I stepped into 2023 with new resolutions, some I have achieved and some I have not been able to achieve. I actually do not regret most of the decisions I made in 2023 because all the lessons learnt have ultimately shaped me into a better person. Out of the resolutions made for 2023 I was able to achieve three things out of it. I was able to save money to invest in a business, I had an Admission, Restructure our family house making it comfortable for us to stay. The rest I couldn't achieve. I hope to achieve them by 2024.

Everyday brought difficulties, everything seemed too hard. Sometimes I wonder if I would make it to another day, but God's grace made it possible that I made it through to the last month of 2023. In the phase of all this I learned a whole lot.

LESSONS I LEARNT IN 2023.

I learnt that even in difficult times I shouldn't give up.

I should keep moving forward and hoping for the best. I had difficulty footing my bills, feeding was now very difficult, I ran into losses in the business I invested in and I had difficulty in paying my school fees. I felt like I was just going to give up but hope set in. I discovered I was stronger than I thought God gave me the power to survive the difficult times. Which brought me to the understanding that not everything we want in life is meant to happen immediately for us, some we definitely have to wait for it till we are able to get it.

I also learnt this year that I shouldn't always expect much from people

This will help me avoid being disappointed at the end. I try hard to treat people in a good way and not necessarily expect them to treat me the same way.We're all different people with different philosophies and can't expect everyone to think and behave like me. This mindset helped shape me and helped me do things freely for people without expecting anything in return.

I have learnt to put Myself first.

I'm this kind of person who always likes to appreciate people, love them so dearly, take their problems as mine and I forget to love myself and be there for myself. With that most people took my kindness for granted so i had to avoid that by putting myself first, being kind to myself and loving myself

This year i also learnt Forgiveness.

There was once a time i found it difficult to forgive people when they wrong me but this year alot of people stepped on my toes and i saw how easy it was for me to forgive them.

I wouldn't have had great lessons in 2023 if i didn't avail myself to go through this series of teachings because i see it as teachings that helped mould me to become a better person.

Thanks for stopping by my Blog.
