REFLECTING ON 2023 •//• A Year of Learning and Loving

avatar

2024 is approaching fast, this year has been filled with different kinds of experiences and I can say that through all of these, I have learnt. 2023 looks so fast to me, I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have spent almost 12 months, it feels like 7 months, hehe. Maybe it seems fast to me because I didn’t achieve most of my goals for this year but I have learnt from my experience. I will be sharing a few lessons learnt.

TAKING ACTION

I have always known this, I have seen people talk about it, and yet I still find it hard to take some actions that I have in mind, I can’t tell if I was battling with procrastination or I was just waiting for the perfect time- or both.

I have regretted a lot, I have regretted that I have spent 11 months of my life not doing things I was supposed to. Knowing fully well that as I grow, I have more responsibility, beats me hard. Regardless, I didn’t want to wait till the new year before taking action, so I have started taking the basics actions- more like a foundation for the new year.


BE STRONG

I have always known the fact that life is not fair, I hated it to the extent of not accepting it - maybe I was scared to accept it. Life is full of ups and downs, so it can’t be so fair in all aspects. I have seen that there is nothing like “life is not fair to me but it is fair to others”

The point is what aspect of life is fair to you, every aspect of a person can’t be, no matter who you are. It is called life, so, I suck it up. It is either I stay strong or stay strong because life will not always give me what I want.


LOVE YOURSELF

Just as I have said, life doesn’t give you what you always want, I have come to love myself, regardless of what life throws at me. I remember when I used to hate myself if anything I didn’t want happened, it was always worse when I felt like I deserved it.

I would look at others, people that I feel don’t deserve it but they got it, I would then call myself unlucky and hate myself for that, I mean there are somethings I worked for and I deserve it but all I got was disappointment. I have come to love myself regardless, I just say “It is what it is” or “It is probably for the best”

All these lessons are what I will practice next year to make 2024 a better year

Those are solid points dear friend. Being strong is the most of it for me! Because, we all face challenges at one point or the other and sometimes those challenges weigh us down but being able to kick back up is the most of it. Great write my friend.

I also notice you're currently on the hive zealy campaign with some low xp 😁 so I'm here to encourage you that you can still get back to the top because all XPs are still available for everyone... See you soon fren🙂

I read from a site that one of the reasons people do not take action is that they are waiting for the perfect time; we could always start and take a step somewhere and see what good comes around and if it doesn't click as expected, we try again. I have taken this for the next year knowing if I fail, I stand up to keep going.
