Goodbye first half, Hello new month.
Honestly, I can't believe we’re already halfway into the year. Time is flying like say na jet. The first half of the year was something else for me, full of engagements here and there. I was literally everywhere, doing so many things at once. At some point, I started asking myself, "wetin I dey chase sef?" I mean, it’s good to be active and productive, but when you over-engage yourself and still not catch small fun, then something is missing.
I’m the kind of person that likes to stay busy, but this last few months really showed me that overdoing it no be the key. I took on so many responsibilities and didn’t give myself enough breathing space to even enjoy the little wins. No time to relax, no time to smile freely, no time to just live in the moment. I was either planning this or showing up for that. I know I’m not alone in this. Some of us have been living on auto-mode since January, forgetting that life no be all about hustle alone.
So as we enter this second half of the year, I dey drop that old pattern. I’m leaving behind too much engagement, too many distractions, and that pressure to be everywhere at once. I don’t want to be that person that’s always doing too much but feeling empty inside. Instead, I’m stepping into something new, doing little things in a big way.
From now on, I want everything I do to count. I want it to be intentional. Even if it’s something small, I want it to be impactful. No more just showing up for the sake of it. I want to be present. I want to enjoy the things I do and actually feel fulfilled by them, lets remember that its our duty to achieve great and noble tasks but it's our chief duty to achieve small tasks as if they are great and noble.
I’ve realised that it’s not about doing plenty, it’s about doing purposeful. One small step taken in the right direction is better than a thousand steps with no destination. So this second half of the year, I dey choose peace, purpose, and progress.
To everyone reading this, Happy New Month! I hope you find the courage to leave behind anything that didn’t serve you well in the first half of the year. Whether it’s stress, distractions, negativity, or even some habits wey no dey favour you, it’s time to drop them. Let’s walk into the second half with a fresh mindset, more focus, and better energy.
Life’s too short to just be existing. Let’s start living with purpose. Let’s make sure what we do is adding value, not just taking our time and energy. Even if it’s one thing you do this month, make sure it matters. Let it be something that brings joy, growth, or peace.
I know better now, and I’m choosing better.
Welcome to July. Let’s make it a month of meaning.
HAPPY NEW MONTH EVERYONE.
