Some Simple Things You Should Do This Month That Will Change Your Life Forever
Start Journaling:
Write every day. Schedule a specific time to write every day.
Write about your day. Write about your experience. Write about your boyfriend. Write about your church or Mosque. Write about your family. Write about your heroes. Write the quotes you love. Write stories you can form in your head. Write about anything. Just write. Get a notebook, and get a pen. Schedule a specific time to write every day.
I became a writer by copying quotes from great men and women I admire. Over time, I developed those quotes into my words. They soon became essays. I haven't looked back ever since.
Writing is a superpower that allows you to relate your thoughts in a clear format. When you write about a thing, you think about it more clearly.
Draft out a Life Plan :
A life plan is a projection of where you want to go and where you want to be by the end of your life. It is funny that we all want to be great, but very few take the time to think about this.
This month, draft out a life plan. Make it as realistic as possible. Don't deceive yourself with this.
Ask yourself, where am I now? Write it down.
Where do I want to be in 5 years, in 10 years, in 50 years? Write it down.
Then ask yourself, what do I need to do to get there? Write it down.
Then this is the most important part, what small action can I take every day to get there? (NOTICE THE SMALL ACTION). Say, for instance, you want to be a politician. One small thing you can do every day is read the news. Every politician reads the news. Every politician. So, that's a straightforward thing you can do with your phone.
Say you want to be a musician. The small step you can take for now is to write songs. Commit to writing at least one line of a song daily.
Say you want to be a graphics designer. The small step you can take is to do one design every day. Nannim is already doing this. You can too.
Finally, write out the other steps you can take. You want to become a doctor? You need to write JAMB, apply to a school etc. Write those down.
Draft out a life plan.

Seriously, think about your friends :
Many of us rarely think about the quality of friends we have. We rarely do. But I tell you this; your friends will profoundly impact what and who you become. Your friends can make or mare you. Friendship can become as powerful as a family influence. Apart from your family background, nothing else will affect your success in life more than the circle you develop.
This month intentionally reflects on the friends you have.
Ask yourself important questions. Measure your friends.
Some questions you can ask;
This friend, what is the nature of his character? Where is he going in life? Is he interested in the future more than instant gratification? Does he show zeal towards the direction I am taking? Is he a person I can depend on or trust? What value is he bringing to my life? Is he a person I can add value to in his life?
Of course, as you ask these questions, make sure you are also checking your own life. Are you a good friend? Do you give value to others? Are you dependable?
Develop the habit of reading :
I cannot end without talking about this one. I have been giving daily motivations to help you see the reasons to read. If you haven't seen the reason by this stage, then I don't know what to tell you. Reading is a life skill, like cooking. If you learn to read, you are unstoppable.
Don't let this month pass without you developing a consistent schedule for becoming a lifelong reader.
That's a wrap.
What one thing, simple one, will you suggest people develop in this month?
