Each year comes with its ups and downs as well as memories whether good or bad that either put a smile on our faces or taught us pain. I had a lot of memories last year and most of them taught me pain and lessons. I consider them to be eye openers that may make me wiser and also help me plan smarter. The year 2023 seemed to have a good prospect until a policy was made that drained the average and poor Nigerians and every resolution we have set had little chances of being achieved, however, there were exceptional moments last year and I'll be sharing three of them.
At one point in 2023 I told myself living alone would help me plan better and this was due to the financial pressure that was on me. I resolved to go settle elsewhere to start a new life. I had just #10,000 with me but my mind was made up to leave the place i call home and settle somewhere with a friend. It wasn't easy from the start, I felt I had made the wrong decision to leave home. I settled for a meal such as garri that we consider to be a common food for a month. This period taught me pain, sacrifice, and endurance but at the end, I found my peace and I was more relaxed and happier than I have ever been.
Sometimes the God of luck and chance looks at us with mercy and what seems impossible comes to play. I have never been a lover of sport and I don't spare time to watch any kind of sports except if I had to watch it while sitting and waiting to be attended to in an office. Last year the women 's world cup contest was hosted on the hive Blockchain, where we had to predict the game result. Randomly I predicted and luck seemed to play in my favor and I came first and won the ultimate prize. I had sleepless nights praying for this and was extremely glad to have won it. A man with no knowledge of football topping the table, this moment was exceptional.
I started setting goals in 2023 but these goals were set blindly, I didn't really know what I wanted. It was after the pain in 2023 that I realized what I needed and this made me more conscious of what I do. Let's say 2023 taught me what I need, what to do, and what not to do. It was a year filled with lessons that I have never experienced in any of the years and one of these lessons was how to spend reasonably.
Each year teaches us specific lessons. These lessons are ones that we should hold dear as they would be instrumental for our survival. I'm glad you moved out and found peace. Weldone.
Thank you Parkee. They're indeed memories worth learning from and one need find peace and move on.
How have you been? Happy new year
I'm glad you left home and in the end had an experience that turn your life around. Leaving a comfort zone for an exploration always help us to learn about pain and turn them to success.
That's true and I'm truly glad I did
Leaving home to start living alone with just #10k is very bold, but I believe such a move will make you see life differently and be more productive. Some of us aren't even courageous enough to leave out parent's house and start living alone 😅
Hahaha. Sometimes one need to take the bold step, it's not easy but we soon learn to endure pain
Looks like you learned a lot last year,cheers to great things this year.
Truly I learned a lot and I hope I build on them this year
Wow... Luck really shined on you but your hardwork also helped. Congratulations on your achievements thus far
Thank You, it was indeed luck and hardwork
