JOURNEYING FORWARD

I know 2022 is in a bit and someone somewhere is still having this "new year new me" mentality my dear come of it. Just because it's a new year isn't enough reason for you to set goals or write out things you would love to accomplish. 

When setting goals for this new year, the aim should be to set goals that would help you become better. My dear even as you prepare for this new year, take out time to go through everything that happened in 2021, take this time to get to know yourself better and what works for you. Take out time to analyze your 2021 wins and lessons.

I'll be sharing few tips I think would help you as you journey forward into 2022. Kindly grab a glass of water or milk and don't forget to add popcorn as we journey together.

One thing I feel is essential is knowing what works for you, I know you see a lot of steps, methods online, in books and you really want to try them to become better fast, I'll advice you take things slowly and know what works for you.

When you see things don't just accept it, think on them too. For example let's say as a student someone might feel it's good to read at night because there would be less or no distraction, but before that you need to understand your kind of person. 

For me I'll prefer to read from evening till night, or during the day but if I sleep with the plan of waking up to read at night, hmmm forget it, it's till the next day.

You should know yourself better than anybody else, so know what works for you.

As you journey into this new year I want to you to understand that 2022 is just a year in the calendar just like 2020, 2021 etc. So even as everyday goes by, try to do things that would enable you get better. Set goals, write them down, write those ideas that comes to your head and work on them too. 

You might be having ideas that are really big, but break things down into smaller pieces and work on them bit by bit. Just do something everyday that draws you closer to achieving your goals.

Another thing I'll love to talk about is letting the Holy Spirit lead you, don't do things because everyone is doing it, give God charge over everything. Let God lead.

Be intentional about your life, know exactly what you want because if you don't, you'll follow the flow of everything you see online and around.

Celebrate your little wins, appreciate yourself always, be proud of you. Celebrate every of your successes.

One thing that has always restricted people is "what would people say". Yeah I'm one of those people, at times I'm so scared about what people would say or think about me or my idea, so I just keep to myself. Middle of this year I wrote and eBook, nobody knows about it because I didn't say anything about it, I only uploaded it on Okada books. You want to know why?

First I was thinking that it isn't perfect, that people wouldn't like something like that.

Secondly I was scared of what people would say like " is it not Modupe? When did she start writing? "and all sorts of thought. But I had to ask myself "why did you write it if you didn't want people to read it". I had to tell myself it's my first and it doesn't really have to be perfect. And I wrote it to help people with the little knowledge I have, so that's it's essence and I'll fulfill it.

Don't let what people will say restrict you from sharing the value you have. Remember that when God created you, he didn't create create someone else that has your looks, your gifts and talents, your parents and siblings all together, he made you unique, so there's this unique thing that only you have, so if you keep hiding it people might never have access to that thing.

Lastly, work on your circle, be intentional about the people in your inner circle. Network with people of value.

In all be intentional about helping and loving people and also appreciate people. Appreciate don't flatter!

I wouldn't say I'm perfect at all of this, but I'm taking steps and I'm growing. That's one important part I'm growing, I'm not stagnant.

I really want to see you grow and learn too, so I'll love to know what stood out for you or what you learnt and what you plan on doing.

Cheers to a better you🍻🍻

God loves you beyond your imagination.💚💚💚
