Looking Back, Moving Forward: Lessons and Gratitude from 2025

in SciFi Multiverse2 days ago

It was just like yesterday when we celebrated crossing into 2025 and wished each other happy new year, and fast forward to today, we're less than two months away from entering into another year. It's been an interesting journey that seems both long and short at the same time, depending on both the time and the situation of things at that point in time. Despite how it seems more like a rollercoaster ride, I still have a lot to be grateful and thankful for. In fact, just last Sunday I was glancing through some of the things I was able to put in place this year, and I can't help but stand in awe, wondering how all that could have been possible.

This year, 2025, despite how terrible most people have claimed it to be, has been one of my most productive years on earth by far, and I'm not even exaggerating at all. I've always had dreams and ambitions of achieving various things in my life and always work towards achieving them. But this year's seems to be on a whole new level, as I find myself going from one height to another, without slowing down and without seeming to be weighed down by all. I'm intrigued by all of these, and in my life, I've always tried as much as possible to show gratitude to my maker and also celebrate my wins in my little ways.

Take for instance, like I said above, I was strolling through my bank statement on one of my bank apps, and I was left mouth agape by what I discovered. It turns out that the months I had the least transactions made throughout the year from January till date have about four hundred and fifty thousand naira; meanwhile, some months' transactions even went above a million, and I can't help but wonder how that's even possible because I don't even earn up to two hundred thousand as salary. Yes, I understand I've got other hustles, including Hive, but having such high transactions consistently and achieving several mind-blowing things just makes me understand it's not my power alone but God's grace.

Although I didn't look into a mirror and take a glance at myself to say I'm proud of myself and what I've been able to achieve, and that's because I don't have a mirror, what I've done is each time I saw things I've been able to actualize, I couldn't help but pat myself proudly in my mind and feel fulfilled and ready to take on the next challenge and dreams that are yet to be actualized. It's always good to be grateful and show gratitude; it's one way to be content with what we have and appreciate little wins and not only wait till we attain bigger milestones before we recognize wins and victories.

I actually don't have any activities laid down to show gratitude for how awesome the year has been, but what I know I'll be doing is singing praises to my maker both in church and in the comfort of my house. I'll also take myself out and get myself a treat to make a wonderful year filled with many heartwarming wins.
