Some Years Are for Learning, Not Winning

Hello everyone, complement of the season to you all.

In today’s post, I would be engaging in our #weekend-engagementpromptweek290 and I will specifically be discussing just one of the questions which is “Do you feel you have reached your full potential and if not, what are you doing in 2026 to get closer to it? Explain.”

About having reached my full potential the sincere answer is No! I have not reached my full potentials yet. As the year keeps going by I believe I am gradually moving some steps towards achieving my full potential.

I am grateful for how far I have come in life and how much I have grown but still there is still more to do, more to learn, more to give and more to become and realizing this alone is a step ahead to fulfilling my potential.

A lot has happened for some years now, my personal fears, self doubts and most times I would just sit and feel it won’t work and some times life will just happen and that will make me focus more on surviving rather than take a bold step forward towards becoming what I want, anyways, surviving is winning and because I am a survivor I will always fulfill that set potential.

I guess 2025 was a great turning point for me in the years that has passed, I remember how I set up so many things to achieve last year but 70% of them never happened but what happened was that I learned. Yeah, I learned in many ways, the hard way, through experiences, from people and a lot of ways and that has given me the fuel to run for this year.

It made me realize that some years are not for winning but for learning, for growth and for preparations for what is ahead.
Now in 2026, I feel stronger with more clarity, I am now really intentional about my life and so this year, I am choosing to invest more in myself, I want to build this year, I want to learn new skills while still improving on the ones that I had, build valuable relationships by networking with people of value, I have set up clear goals to help me with that.

Not just building but I have already started cutting down anything and anyone who is draining me and not going my direction this year. I am learning to ask a lot of questions and equally seek guidance.

Now my time is not something I joke with anymore, I am becoming very careful on how I spend my time and energy, I am also intentionally pushing myself out of my comfort zone this year because I am now aware that comfort is an enemy to change.

Actually, I may not still achieve my full potential yet this year but I know I making progress and it is one step at a time so for now I need to learn, grow and build, that’s the focus for this year.

Thank you all for stopping by.
