My 5 Biggest Lessons From 2017
Hello readers,Happy new year!2018 promises to be a great year. You do not need the "new year,new me" cliché , just be a better you. I believe you have learnt some things in the past year and if you employ them well you can get better. Well,well, I will be sharing with us 5 big lessons I learnt in the year 2017 ( in no particular order )
1) No one owes you anything : It's commonly said that life is not fair. Well, I have discovered that life is fair to those that are intentional about it. It is up to you to go out there and get what you want. You don't have to wait for someone to dish it out for you because really nobody will . When this 'dishing' doesn't happen, a lot of people get frustrated. No one is going to hand over what you want to you. You basically have to find your way to get it.
2) You can't make anyone do anything for you : What I mean is you can be nice to people,you can be polite ,you can be a great person but you cannot make anyone do anything for you. When you realize this and you are at peace with this fact, it makes a lot of things easy. I mean,you do not get stressed when people behave or do not behave in a certain manner . You do not feel bad when things don't go exactly the way you want or planned it. You have to realize that the only person you can control is YOU.
3) Sometimes you have to walk away from people you love because they are toxic to you : I mean people that are close to you, people that have 'won' a space in your heart and you later realize that they are not good for you .This is because the world does not care who it is that is holding you back ,success does not care.That they are toxic to you does not make them bad people,it only means they do not help you to be your best. Whoever it is you have to walk away from,do so! So you can move forward .
4) Health matters : As a matter of fact, health is a big deal. It does not matter who you are or how much you have,if you do not pay attention to your health you cannot have a good day. It should be your priority of course after your faith. For me,my faith comes first,then my health and family. Yes,health before family because without good health you cannot relate with your family. Make sure you take good care of yourself.
5) Loyalty : Loyalty is really really scarce. You should cherish,nourish the few people who are loyal to you.
Basically,these are the 5 lessons that I learnt this year.
Please Do well to share the lessons you learnt in the year 2017. I look forward to your responses. Do have a great year ahead.
