Hello beautiful people!!! First off, here is a big shout of "Happy New Year" to everyone.
Just yesterday, ( a few hours ago actually), I was still talking about the things I will do in the new year. Right now, however, the New year is here.
During the past few weeks, I had been trying to review the year 2023... and how it was for me. Each time, I just ended up feeling bad about many things I had planned to do that I didn't do eventually, and also goals I set but wasn't able to achieve...
Guess What? It is so easy to blame ourselves when we are not able to reach our goals. Some of us even go ahead to blame other people or circumstances for our failures and misfortunes and woes... And that was the trap I was already falling into... that is, until I had to call myself to order.
Blaming myself or others cannot turn back the hands of the clock. Yes, that's true. It will only make me sad, and at the end of the day nothing changes for the better. So, I had to choose to count my blessings. I mean, I had to really think deep, hehehe!
🔸️Shortly before my birthday in March last year, I became ill... but I am alive today and still enjoying the company of my loved ones.
🔸️I had to embark on several journeys in the course of the year, but all ended in safety.
🔸️My first daughter was delivered from what could have been a fatal accident, and I thank God for that.
🔸️My business suffered some losses, but at the end of the day God's favour still kept us standing.
I could go on and on, but that is not really necessary, because I guess you understand the point I am trying to make in this post.
Here is another opportunity to try again! For every goal I couldn't meet up with, I place it side by side with something to be grateful for. Doing this makes me face the days, weeks and months ahead of me with positive energy and vibes. 2024 is another opportunity to go after my goals again... because I am still alive.
I intend to do my very best, as long as it lies within my power to do so... So help me God.
So, if you have read to this point, expect to see more of my posts because I will definitely be sharing my wins and my journey. Writing this post today is one of the ways I am keeping myself accountable, hehe!
But what about you? Can you also give yourself permission to move beyond past failures? I hope you do...let's face this year with great determination.
Whatever Comes Up, let's face it with positivity by counting our blessings.
