First Post of 2024

15 minutes to midnight on January 3, 2024. I told myself that if I didn't manage to put something on my blog today, I might be tempted to continue putting stuff off for the rest of the year. So, I decided I was going to write this article regardless of how short it may be.

Last year was quite challenging for me. I had to learn how to navigate difficult situations by maintaining a strong state of mind (enhanced by faith) and knowing how to rely on trusted networks. I really wanted to write often on this blog, but I found myself slacking because I was under pressure from various sources and needed time to take good care of myself.

I learned the hard way that many people don't really care. Most prioritize their own selfish interests and protect the ones they love dearly. They don't extend the same care to those they consider less dear. It taught me that, as a result, you have to be resolute and protect your interests and those of your loved ones most especially when faced with any form of attack.

It's admirable to be considerate and caring toward others, but when those individuals repeatedly show they don't reciprocate or are willing to betray, accuse, or lie against you for their selfish gains, you must learn to stand your ground, fight back with all you got and safeguard your own interests.

I've always believed in people's inherent goodness. I make an effort to interact with everyone as kindly and respectfully as possible. Unfortunately, not everyone operates with that same principle. Thus, you must approach those who aren't kind or respectful in their dealings with you differently. It only takes wisdom to recognize this.

2023 taught me a lesson that I must share here now, with only 5 minutes to midnight. :)

There goes the message in pictures. I made it at 11:59! Sharing my first post in 2024. My goal is to update the blog at least once a week. I will do my best to stick to this.

Wishing you all the best in 2024. Maintain your mind, body, and spirit's health. Take care of your physical, mental, and social well-being. Recognize that success isn't solely measured by money. Strive for success not just in finances or career but in other aspects, especially the quality of your relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. It significantly enhances life quality and provides a sense of fulfillment.

We're set for victory in 2024! We'll achieve all our written objectives! In case you haven't yet, try to jot down all your goals for this year and be specific. You're more likely to achieve what's written down compared to what isn't. Make it clear and keep it somewhere visible for daily reminders.

I'm confident we'll all reach our goals, fulfill our dreams, and satisfy our desires for 2024!

Keep on winning!
