It's no news or surprise again to anyone that we are in a new year. Even if some were in this shoes I think reality has dawned on them that yes we have made it to a new year. I think being the third day of the new year should ring a bell to one's head that "yeah, it is a new year and I need to continue with life".
Assuringly, days or even weeks before this dawning of a new year many and many and many have made the "customary" new year resolutions. One thing I hope is that it does not remain just customary but something we become intentional towards achieving, and so we build ourselves in line with the requirements regarding such resolutions.
Designed by me
So it's the third day of January and of the new year. I find myself today writing this prompt on my new year resolutions for the year 2025. Haven made a long list of new year resolutions in the past, this year I have it just simple and few. I believe when I can achieve the little I set out for, I can do the much through the experience and strength I have gained from the little.
I always recognize and agree that "the little leap you make day by day is far better than the jump you try to make which you do not make at all or maybe make in a long season". My opinion though, and I wish to say that it depends on your commitment, strength and dedication to these things. Being one with a lot of things that I know I need to cover and achieve, I knew better that "I have to chew it little by little, bit by bit, bite by bite".
My resolutions this year are nothing far more than building myself or maybe call it a personal development. I consider this building or development in various aspects of my life such as spiritual, relational, financial, leadership and skills. All of these aspects I see them as very defining to my purpose and desires in life and that a growth, even just a little in these aspects means a step closer in these fulfilments for me. But then, "wishes are never horses" that I can just ride, so I know better that it will require discipline and a determined effort on my part to ace these resolutions, maybe not a must to ace them but at least to achieve something tangible at the end. So what have I planned towards this?
Plan! Yeah, the saying goes, "he who fails to plan, plans to fail" and no I am not planning to fail so I will not fail to plan. And some plans to achieve this for me are books. Yeah, books! In a time and paradigm where the reading culture has been somewhat eradicated by social media scrolls and reels, I think and I believe books still hold some sort of basis for knowledge and a guided effort towards the achievement of goals and whatever be it the desires of one. Before this year I already had books concerning the aspects mentioned above and several others in my little library (phone library mostly). With this knowledge, plan and right actions and by the sovereign grace of God that makes all things possible, my resolutions should come to live.
Being also one in the creative industry, creativity undeniably keeps updating and I know better that to remain relevant I have to move along. I have then planned also to buy and take courses, classes, tutorials to learn some of these things especially the software and app related ones so as to see myself scale through in the various niches of graphics design, video creation and editing, and the likes that pertain to me. In all ramifications, that I just get to improve and become better in these things.
Surely I cannot forget to speak about my hive life also. Very important. For a platform that has given me so much value in such a short while, I hope to make the best of it and give it my value too. While reading through a certain hivers post, I discovered how the person made it a point of duty last year to power up their hive power to a certain level and yeah, it did inspire me. So in like mind I have decided to work on mine, and importantly as well to build some meaningful connections and relationships on the hive blockchain. It does not stop there as I have it to also explore more of the platform through the many, many communities it provides.
Well, that's the little much I have planned out in resolutions for the year 2025.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope we all achieve our goals this year. Gracias!
