End of the year reflection

If we are to sit down and have a reflection of how faithful God is to each and everyone, then we should always thank him because he is a faithful God.

Let me pick one out of the questions!

❄️ Talk about the hopes you have for the new year, things you're happy to leave behind in 2023, or share personal changes that you know will come to your life in 2024.

Firstly, 2023 is a year full of ups and downs for me and my family but being able to conquer makes my family a winner. A lot of things went other way round like I lost 3 of my friends to the cold hands of death and just for the year to round up, another bad news yesterday concerning my friend who fell ill for some days and later gave up yesterday. Why all this? How come? What have they done wrong? Why are the young ones going untimely? No one can answer those questions in my mind except God 🤔🤔

Then a reflection came, what have I done to deserve my breathing in good health all through 2023? Am I so righteous? Did I not murmur when I was faced with challenges? Have I not asked God why this and that? Yet he kept me?

I want to leave behind 4 things/ habits in 2023.

1. Murmur and complaints :I feel like it's wrong for me to complain or murmur when things are not exactly the way I planned it.

2. Procrastination :This is a destiny killer that I wish to drop behind. A lot of things were aspire to achieve in this year 2023 but procrastination has robbed me off that dream. if I want to live a positive lifestyle in 2023, I have to drop the habit of procastination.

3. Struggles and Hardship :Even though, Nigeria economy is so bad that's it has affected our daily meal but nevertheless, I am going for better opportunities, better ways, better businesses I can venture into in 2024 that can bring additional income and drop every negative energy in 2023.

4.Stress and overthinking :I want to leave behind overthinking that has grounded stress into my life in 2023, adopting a new lifestyle to manage my health is what am hoping for in 2024. Health is wealth

5. Fear of unknown :I want to quench the spirit of I cannot do it, it will fail, it can not work. I want to adopt a new lifestyle of faith that surpasses fear. I want to live a positive lifestyle in 2024.

### My hopes for the new year (2024)

There are a lots of things jotted down for the new year but let me mention few here.

1. Education and career :If God be for me, I wish to start my masters program,pursue more professional courses for advancement in my career in 2024

2. Health and vitality :I want to concentrate more on my health as age am closer to my 40th, I want to work more on my diet, exercise regularly, eat balanced diets, put thinking behind, develop my mental health.

3. Travel abroad :This is a dream we have been looking forward to as a family. My husband and I will push in more efforts for the sake of our children. We want to start anyhow and I will be so happy if that single wish comes to reality in 2024.

4.Meeting new people: I want to have a good relationships with my loved ones, a strong connection with new people that can change my life in a positive way. Thank God for Hive, new friends are coming my way.

This is to all my lost friends in 2023. I pray we live longer in good health 🙏
