Incredible India monthly contest of January #1|Goal that I want to achieve in 2025.

Whenever people talk about new year resolution, i use to feel is overrated because a lot of them do not stay committed to them but this year was quite different. As the clock struck midnight, after screaming "Happy New Year!" and calling loved ones to exchange pleasantries and wish them a happy new year, I couldn't deny the pull of reflection—the need to reset, realign, and redefine my goals.

Year 2025 this time around, won’t just be about my goals, it’s going to be about clarity of purpose, things i have decided not to repeat this year and lessons to learn from mistakes and I will also be inviting @ahsansharif, @basil20 and @us-andrew

In this year 2025 one of my purpose is to focus on project that matters to me and will catapult me to the next phase of my life because i notice that last year I kept chasing everything and in the end I achieved nothing. I believe it will be for the best if I channel my energy into things that matter and has long-term impact.

Secondly, financial discipline. The way I have been spending over the years, it’s nothing to talk about. Sometimes, It looks as if they are using black magic on my money. So, I’ve started reading several books on money management to help me out and i also wrote on some few lessons on Steemit, incase you are interested, you can read here. ( 1 2 3 ). This year, it will have to stop and every cent will be accounted for.

• Over commitment

One of the things I plan to leave behind is “excess commitment”. Last year, I was committed to finding a new job, steemit, church, data entry lessons, age group meetings, Nigeria institute of management meetings, sewing… and so many other groups that I was part of. Sometimes, I get home so tired and sleep off with an empty tummy, only to see myself eating giant turkey in the dreams…lol. The funny part is that, most of this commitment drain me more financially than they enrich me. So, this 2025, I’m saying a big “No”, to a whole lot of things and face the more important ones. I need to get my life back together before I faint one day.

• Procrastination:

I wish I could really find a better way to stop procrastination. I’ve had a lot of things that I’ll want to do but at the end of day, I’ll end up not doing it or using rush hour to complete my work. Sometimes, it even affects me on Steemit, which is why my work is always coming at the deadline. That is one of my major reasons, I want to reduce some engagement that I’m part of this year and hopefully, i make better use of my time without procrastinating.

Yes, my believe for this is very high.

In 2021, the noise of crypto boom was everywhere and it seems everyone was jumping into the opportunity of becoming a billionaire over night. I didn’t want to be left behind, so I dived into the crypto world like goal keeper Peter Cech with the money I had.

I enjoyed the bull season for a little while but unfortunate, i entered at a wrong time when it was almost coming to an end. The bear season came with full force, as if it was waiting for me to invest my money. Before I knew what was happening, everything started going downward till my money had know value.

The luck I’d was that I invested with spot trading, at least, all hopes was not lost but that experience taught me a great lesson. For a long time, i refused to put my money into any investment no matter how good they might seem to be out of fear.

So I joined a crypto group that teaches people about the rudiments of cryptocurrency and the right time get into the market. That loss taught me to ask smarter questions, seek expert advice, and only invest in what aligns with my knowledge. I gave it a try once more, by investing in some crypto and I made good profit not because I was lucky but because I decided to learn before diving in.
