Hello, and how have you been? I genuinely want to know. Feel free to drop your comments or connect with me here.
I’m honoured to welcome all new subscribers.
This newsletter happens to be shorter than my usual ones. Enjoy it still.
I joined a writing challenge on Medium. I've been dealing with a bit of writing lethargy, and this daily practice has been helping. You can check it out and subscribe here. I still write on LinkedIn.
Since December started, my inbox has been flooded with newsletters and emails about year-end reflections and new-year goals. It's been everywhere on social media—Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram. It got overwhelming at some point, like ‘ahhhh, se fe pami ni?’ On a serious note, information overload can be sickening, and the best way to avoid this is to deliberately filter.
My Thoughts on Goal Setting and Reflections
I don't believe there's a perfect roadmap for goal setting and reflection. For those recommending strategies, it probably worked for them. But excess pieces of advice from every angle can be overwhelming, and we end up doing nothing.
So, my two cents on this is, sit down and think of the direction you want your life to go. Critical analysis and reflection, perhaps, are all you need to get things done. It’s not enough to set goals without an accountability plan.
Again, this is just a suggestion. You can either accept it or choose to ignore it—no compulsion. What do you think?
Review and Reflect on the present and how far you’ve come. Amidst all, gratitude is a necessity.
If I'd be highlighting one of the major things I learned in 2023,it would be DARE TO DARE. Just dare to do things out of the ordinary. It's just like starting at the gym. You won't see the changes if you look the next day. Just dare to keep going. What’s yours? Let’s hear from you.
Mindvalley, a community founded by Vishen Lakhiani, focuses on exploring, inventing, and optimising personal transformation. Their purpose is essentially about embracing a journey of collective growth and positive change. Vishen is hosting a webinar on Mindvalley tomorrow, at 7 pm Nigerian time. I'll be there, how about you?
This year, I didn't write as much as I would have wanted. My consistency streak on this newsletter dropped so badly. My excuse? Erh… I’m resisting the urge to blame it on school, my department, and work commitments.
I’d do better next year, God helping me.
If you'd be interested in reading my works for the next couple of weeks, you should follow me on LinkedIn and Medium.
Life is for the living. It's all about ourselves now and our deeds. Someday, we'll be long gone and forgotten. Let's live while we can. This is an excerpt from a newsletter I published in June, last year.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more insights in subsequent newsletters. Do you have any suggestions on what I should discuss next? Or you have any questions? I’d be here.
See you in 2024. Remember, dare to be audacious.
Hoping your new year goes the best way, bi idhnillah.
