3 Things You Should Do As Year 2022 Comes to an End!

Congratulations! Thanks to your resilience, faith, and arduous work, you made it through 2022!

To be honest, this year was a lot! There were life-changing moments we wished remained only in the movies! Is it the flooding in Nigeria that displaced over 1.4 million people? Or the Russia-Ukraine war? Not to talk about the high inflation rate that affected at least a quarter of the world's population. Amid these unpleasant events were even positive ones! We are thankful for the end of the?two-year conflict between the government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People. We also witnessed remarkable medical advancements in the treatment of Cancer and?Alzheimer's this year!

In all, I believe that before the year runs out, there are three major things you need to do!

1.????Express Gratitude: One of the most beautiful, underrated attitudes is the ability to express gratitude regardless of your circumstances! William Arthur Ward once said,?“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”?Gratuity is necessary. It helps us stay optimistic even when the odds are not in our favor. Take a moment to reflect on something you have going on well: every little moment, every little gesture, every little interaction, etc. Gratitude multiplies what we already have.

2.????Review Your Experiences This Year: At the start of the year, I committed to intentionally reviewing each month of the year from January down to December. I made notes of outstanding events each month. This helped me stay on track so that I only engaged in activities that yield expected results especially as it relates to personal development. I also prioritized getting support when I needed it and as much rest as I could get because there is only so much an exhausted body and mind can do. This habit grounded me, and I am glad for it!?Set routines that will cause you to be accountable. You will be productive!

3.????Make Plans Ahead of The Incoming Year: The new year is just a few days away and as usual, most people will tilt towards making resolutions and plans. We should note that a new year could be just another day without the right planning and preparation. It is not enough to say “I’ll be financially free” in the new year, what steps are you taking towards achieving this dream? What is the right life approach to attaining financial freedom in the new year? Do I have the discipline to stir me in the right direction? These are honest questions you must ask yourself.

?The new year comes with new opportunities and only those who are prepared get to own them. Accept the mistakes of the past year; find out the reason for and behind these mistakes and take careful steps to correct them in the new year.

I thank you for riding with me this year. Your comments, messages, and engagements are a joy! I wish you and your family a great 2023! Happy New Year in advance!
