This year has been an AMAZING year for me. You know how you have so many things planned out and then it just keeps falling in line? That’s how the most of this year has been for me. I decided to be smart about setting my goals by keeping counts of every little win rather than waiting until I get a huge win. Before now, I have always thought celebrating the little wins doesn’t matter even though I hear people say it a lot. It was this year I started practicing that and it has been really interesting how things have been going since then.
I made just little little goals to achieve, particularly monthly goals. I don’t even have a yearly goal. I’m not sure what I want to achieve at the end of this year but I’m sure about what I should achieve by the end of this month and that’s all I want to focus on. No one knows what tomorrow holds but we always strive for tomorrow and that’s what I call faith. We haven’t seen tomorrow yet but we believe it will be better tomorrow and we try to work towards it.
Traveling light means so many things to me and since this year started, I have realized that it is very important to travel light as much as possible because the journey is not a smooth one and if we are not wise enough, we will get to a point when we won’t get the time to sort out the things to let go of and we will end up losing so much than we shouldn’t have lost. This is the essence of making plans no matter how little it might be.
Recently, I have noticed that my relationship with people has improved significantly than it was before and that is because I have learnt to avoid getting into any unnecessary misunderstandings with them. Back in 2024 when I first gained admission into school, I had 3 roommates and they all had different personalities. I took my time to stay quiet and watch how they all handled different situations so I can know how best to relate with them to avoid getting into trouble with them. It was hard at some point because I just wanted to say something even when I know that I shouldn’t.
Well, I still didn’t get it right at that point but they helped me understand some things about how I should relate with people if I wanted to have peace and since I started applying those knowledge I got from that experience, it has helped me a lot. Now I just have one room mate and most times she’s not always in her best moods because of one thing or another but I just try my best to mind my business (she doesn’t like listening to people) but stay as open as possible to her just in case she needs to ask me for anything. I try to avoid anything that will make us have issues with ourselves because I have noticed a lot of them and it has not only helped me but her too.
I like to believe that I have a huge role to play when it comes to how people relate with me and I don’t think I’m wrong about that at all. If anything was to spoil my relationship with someone, I prefer to think I was the one who didn’t do something right because I know myself better and that has helped me travel light in the sense that I don’t get into arguments with people unnecessarily or even worry about holding grudges towards them. I just focus on myself and somehow, it rubs off on those people around me so why bother trying to change them when working on myself does it all?
Thanks for reading through. ❤️
