My beautiful readers!
Happy new yearr.
It’s so beautiful to be back blogging again. It’s been a minute and I’ve missed y’all.
Thank you all for still commenting and reading the blog even while I was away.
If you this is your first time, welcome to the family 🤗.
I hope your year started great?
Mine didn’t start quite great (that’s a story for another day) but how it started doesn’t matter, all that matters is that it’s been rectified and I am having and will continue to have the best year yet because God and I say so☺.
You know we’re cool like that in this Kingdom.
We decree it and see it.
Amen?
Amen.
This year, we’re releasing more value and purpose filled content on the blog. You’re going to be blessed like never before.
This is the the 4th week in January and I believe that y’all have already figured out what you want to do this year.
You must have set your goals and expectations for the year. I hope they are SMART and aligned goals.
I have set mine too and I’m ready for the year.
May we smash all our goals and more in Jesus Name.
Today, I’m not sharing my to-do list for the year. I am sharing my “NOT-TO-DO list”.
I think we focus a lot on the things we want to do but fail to be intentional about the things we do not want.
So, we end up smashing goals but picking and accommodating bad habits and stuff along the way which dent our successes.
Remember little foxes spoil the vine?
This is why in a bid to be more intentional about my life this year, I clearly wrote down stuff that I will NOT do this year. They are things you can adopt and apply too.
Find 7 of them below!
This year, I am NOT:
Stressing and Over thinking
I will be still and know.
I used to be an over thinker. I could literally sit down and think myself into a bad mood.
God’s Word helped me do that less but it still happens sometimes. However, this year, I’m serving it a permanent quit notice!
I won’t stress or over think anything. I will be calm in every situation because, God’s peace is daily becoming more real to me and that is my watchword.
Everything will fall into place and be beautiful because I know who I am and whose I am.
I will definitely be faced with situations that look scary and confronting but guess what, I’m facing them with matching confrontation.
No stress!
Taking it easy
This is my year to shine guys. I’m not taking anything easy.
I’m doing it all (not literally), everything nice, as long as it is not foolish or unreasonable, I am doing it!
So nobody should ask me to take it easy this year because God and I are going to be taking some giant strides.
Killing myself
Both literally and figuratively.
I shan’t kill myself.
Not encouraging mediocrity or complacency but nothing apart from God is a do or die afair.
Ignoring opportunities
I used to do this a lot in the past. I was always lazy to hop on deals and opportunities but not any more.
As much as God and school permit me, I will embrace opportunities and do more partnerships this year.
So if you have any juicy opportunity for your girl, please my arms are wide open.
Being inconsiderate towards other people.
I’m learning kindness, selflessness, and character everyday.
This year, I’m going to be more touched by people’s feelings and more relatable.
Spending too much time on social media
Who am I kidding? With all the tasks ahead of me, I’d be lucky if I had enough time to sleep.
Not maximizing my potentials.
On this note, I’ll be releasing a series of posts in the coming weeks, tailored towards helping you discover, maximize and harness your potential.
Personally, I have been blessed by this series and I’m grateful to God that I can share it with you all.
There are treasures in you that have been ignored for long, this year, we’re bringing them out.
So, stay tuned for the posts, starting next Friday.
I pray you have a super amazing year.
Lots of love, Dupe. ❤
