It is not the end…

Sometimes I can’t help but wish I had the power to take a peek into the future and see how everything plays out in my life because in all honesty I really want to know how the decisions I will make in the future will play out but then again if wishes were horses beggars would ride right?

First off, waking up into a new year is no walk in the park. A lot happened in 2023 and being able to fight your way through the hurdles of life, emerging victoriously at the end of the day, and seeing a new year is no easy feat.

It’s the beginning of a new year and some of us are super pumped and still basking in the euphoria of the new year spirit which is a good thing. The usual tradition that comes with the new year is the “New Year, New me” thingy and goal setting.

While a lot of people do the whole New Year resolution thingy because it is a yearly tradition that must be upheld, others take their New Year resolutions pretty seriously.

Goal setting is one thing that some of us take seriously as we know the importance of setting our goals and achieving them in the long run.
One good thing about goal setting is that it keeps us on track, in a bid to achieve these goals that we set for ourselves we are forced to double our efforts and this is not easy to come by as some goals stretches us. While we achieve some of our goals and celebrate our achievements sometimes, other times we might end up not achieving any of our goals.

This wonderful prompt by @kenechukwu97 got me thinking👇

…what if we are already halfway through 2024, and nothing seems to be working as planned? What if your attempts to achieve your goals are yielding uninspiring results?
Tell us how you will react.

Personally, I’ll feel very bad, just like everyone else that worked their ass out to achieve something and was unable to pull it off. If there’s one thing we humans find difficult to deal with is disappointments. Disappointment is one hard nut to crack, it’s that strong lump that is always present in your throat when you are so hurt and you want to cry your eyes out. It stings you so much that if you aren’t careful you’d want to give up everything without putting up a fight.

After feeling bad and sulking for some time and realizing that wallowing in my sorry state does not cut it, I’ll just have to look for a way out.
A way out means not giving up but giving myself a second chance, a second chance to go back to the drawing board to see where I got it all wrong and try to fix it.

Picking my sorry ass from my pitiable state and reaffirming that I am not a failure of any sort I will start by reassessing my goals and this time I’ll try not to leave any stone unturned.
A lot of times we might just be our problem, setting unrealistic goals that can take us more months or years than we can ever imagine to achieve.

Were my goals too big for me to achieve? I’ll try to break them into smaller achievable bits and focus on them one after the other.
Starting all over might be a bit difficult so I’ll have to work on myself mentally, I’d have to stay positive all through this journey again as a little slip might lead me to giving up or landing in my sorry state again.

I’ll keep pushing slowly but progressively, now this time around I will not have to wait till I achieve all my goals, I will learn to celebrate my little achievements of every goal that was broken down into tiny bits, doing this will motivate me to keep pushing harder and smashing the remaining goals.

Keeping up with this positive mindset and energy will only mean one thing and that is achieving all my goals eventually and this will be awesome.

Starting all over or restrategizing my goals might not be as easy as I have highlighted here but one thing I am sure of is that giving up is not an option😃😃
