End of the year, end of your sorrows?

Good morning fam, I know that y'all are going to be busy today if you're not yet busy tho, but it's been a great year for me, my friends and families and I'm sure that you all must have learnt one lesson or the other from this year. That's the most important thing, try to reflect and see where you've made mistakes, where you've fallen, where you've gotten disappointed and also the good times where you felt on top of the world. If you can't list them all off hand, take a book and write them one after the other and then try to see the way forward so as not to make such mistakes again in the coming year, this is the only way by which you won't run next year just like this year went. I've made my list and I'm going to share a little of things you should look out for next year because people are willing to know what 2022 has for them. I listened to a video clip yesterday and the man said that 2022 has nothing for you if you don't also have something for 2022. There must be a plan. It's not too late to make that plan.

1. Learn to let go

There are somethings in this life that you really don't have control over, you should let go of it. Don't hurt yourself because you have failed, you didn't fail intentionally, all you need to do is to look back at the mistake that made you fail and work on it. Don't just sit there and keep regretting why you failed, forgive yourself, stand up and run to success.

1. Be yourself

Never get intimidated by other people's success, set your own personal pace, you can't run with someone that's not you. You are you and there's no duplicate of you. Remember that you're distinct and you need to make that distinction obvious. Let them know that you're different and you can do things your way and still achieve the same success.

1. Love those people around you

You can never be too kind to love, make sure you treat everyone around you just the way you'd want to be treated and always remember that not everyone can express their love for you just the way you do, learn to adapt to whichever way they show their love to you, don't take offences at their flaws. This is the only way we can all live in peace and harmony.

1. Never feel bad for setting boundaries

There are sometimes that you feel like you should have done better, maybe a Friend asked you to do something that you feel is below your standard, don't force yourself to please anyone. It's your standard, always protect it because that's what those people would later value you for.

1. Own your story

Learn to appreciate yourself, not everyone sees you the way you see yourself, not everyone would appreciate that effort, that big sacrifice you made. Not everyone is going to understand the pain you went through to achieve that success. Don't be angry about people that appreciate what you've done for them but be happy to have impacted people's lives positively either appreciated or not.
