This year has been one of the fastest years I have ever experienced in all my years of living. January was just yesterday and it’s already December. And the hard part of all this is we are growing older each day.
Personally, this year has been more of a learning period for me. I feel for most part of the year I’ve been quiet, making moves and all of that. However, it hasn’t been an easy one. A lot went down over the past 11 months and I’m just glad to be here sharing my experiences with everyone. Along the line, I lost friends and family and that thought me to appreciate life and the people we have around us because you never know how much time anyone has.
From everything that has happened this year, one thing that I would never forget it how at my lowest , I still found the strength to stand on my feet and try over and over again. I have experienced both wins and losses this year and in as much as we celebrate the wins, we also have to embrace the losses. I faced so many challenges when it came to my goals and what I wanted to do this year and it was all part of the growth curve.
I remember failing at something I put so much energy and time into and at the end of the day I didn’t even know how to handle everything. What I felt was more of embarrassment and rage but I slept over it and thought to myself, maybe it was all for the best. The next morning, I was up making bigger and better plans. Today, I look back and I see how that one step I took has changed my life and will continue to change my life.
I didn’t only fail at stuff I was doing to better myself, I also failed at many of my relationships. Along the line, I lost people who were close to me for one or two reasons and this got me thinking. Was I really the problem? But I soon came to understand that life has its was of doing things and not everyone is going to walk the journey with you up until the end. You’d meet people along the line and you’d also have to let people go along the line. It would hurt, but you can’t always keep on holding on to the past. This has taught me that, not everything is a loss to you. Sometimes you need that loss to do better as an individual and be better at what you do.
These experiences have changed my life a lot as I am finally finding some peace within me after a long while of having these thoughts.
The lessons I’ve learnt this year are ;
Once there is life, there is hope. You just have to keep pushing.
And never think you’re not enough. You are enough and you can do anything you put your mind to.
I hope these lessons helps someone out there to do better for themselves next year. Cheers!🥂
