A Year Full of Rollercoasters, But Not Giving Up
2025 is indeed a year full of rollercoasters , I had my good and bad days but in all I'm grateful for the gift of life, because that's an opportunity for better and brighter days.
I accomplished some goals, ticked most of my boxes and also established the businesses I had in mind, although most of them didn't end well, but I would count them as one of my experiences.
I learnt the most lessons this year and one of the most remarkable lessons is how to manage my emotions and handle pressure calmly, because I had the most down time this year and I realized I had to learn to control my emotions and handle pressure to avoid making more mistakes.
Earlier this year, I had big and unimaginable dreams, summarized my NYSC program and as a young graduate I stayed awake daily sending out mails, filling every job form and scholarship forms ,I had countless career dreams and I still do, but then I had some disappointment, some unforeseen circumstances came too, but I was never discouraged.
For a while, I got really depressed, felt like I wasn't getting things right , felt pressured, because as a young graduate, there was alot of expectations from home .
I had to start a different job, engaged in a career path I never dreamt of, but then my mum will always remind me that life is full of stages and this is just my little beginning, there's no need running too fast.
I didn't get my dream or a perfect job this year, which was at the top of my goal for the year but I haven't given up and I won't give up too .
I'm yet to achieve that and I believe I will.
The second experience I had that really got me down was investing in a poultry business,my first sales was great, but my last two sales was so painful.
The chicks got sick, cost of medication and I lost up to half at some point, that was really discouraging, I gave up on the business at some point, I got really scared and had no urge to keep up with it.
What really kept me going was my family and friends.
This was really the most painful part of the year, it broke me , but I'm not giving up , because it's a huge part of learning, like they say failure is part of learning, so I won't give up.
I haven't lost hope because I'm alive, even if I don't actualize them in the remaining days of the year, I still have next year and I also have the zeal to keep trying next year , to keep reapplying and putting all the required efforts to achieve my dreams the coming year.
The year is about to end, not my dream, not my time or my ambition.
There's no pressure or negativity, because this is a phase in life that will pass in no time.
And for many other things I was able to achieve, I'm grateful and happy I did and I still believe in miracles , if a miracle happens the few days of the year, I would be the most grateful too.
Thanks for reading ♥️
It seems as though the year came with lots of lessons for many of us. You tried out different things, some were successful and some weren't, I had same experience too; I started some well, couldn't continue. Building my brand and social presence online and losing momentum 4 times, presently my fifth one now.
I love this. The year ends not me or my dream or my ability to dream and work towards the reality.
Keep pushing Dear, giving up is never an option, it's only the end of the year, not the end of our dreams.
Thank for stopping ♥️
There is something I call reality check.
It is that moment when a person realised that the way we dream about things is a lot different from the way it happens in reality.
Every student dreams of a specific kind of job they had prepared themselves for their entire lives only to discover how difficult it is to get it after graduating.
When it comes to Poultry business, things such as this tends to add to your experience, which means next time you decide to get another batch of chickens, you would be more aware of things based on what you learnt from the previous batch.
Yea, you are absolutely right.
I will keep putting more efforts regardless.
Thanks for stopping by ♥️
