Every new year comes with a lot of resolutions, expectations, dreams, goals and aspirations, the year 2025 is not an exception. It has been a rollercoaster experience, with so much blessings, though, not without some challenges. Ones that I bear that people can't tell if I'm going through some tough times because I resolved not to allow what's going around me define me.

That notwithstanding, I've achieved some personal development skills that helped shaped most of my decision on my business activities in running my family business, which its effects have obviously reflected towards the business growth. I've had to take a difficult decision to jettison some friendship that threatened my peace, which in return created room for a breath of fresh air.

Again, my decision on 1st January to be active and consistent in my #hive activities this year was a game changer for me. I signed up on Hive on August 1st. 2023 but never did anything, not even an introduction post. On January 1st. 2025 while having a discussion with my onboarder @ojac and @ijelady about Hive Blockchain and its numerous benefits, there I made a decision to take up the task this year without looking back.

Eleven months of that decision, here am I today, cruising with a whole lot of beautiful experiences, sweet memories with amazing friends who are always willing and ready to support in every way possible. I must say that my involvement here has to a great extent reduced my activities on web 2 socials which I see as huge distraction, as prioritizing my activities is innegotiable…adding more value to every bit of my time spent.

Amidst all these, life isn't just about rainbows and valleys only, it serves us with storms too to make us value the beauty of the creation. Losing my sister in-law in a marriage of barely 2 years was one difficult moment that broke me the most. Aside that, I'd suffered some personal ugly experiences too which almost claimed my life but the outcome is the product of “A SECOND CHANCE” which I'm most thankful and grateful for.

Reflecting on how far I've gone this year, it's been a long yet interesting ride. Hitting some targets not undermining the hurdles, with clear understanding that they're part of the journey to keep one on check. Knowing that without challenges life would be boring and look like a fantasy.

The year still has a few more days to go, which is still an opportunity to achieve some more. Hence, it's not yet over until it's over.

Thanks immensely for stopping by, I deeply appreciate it.🙏💖
