I’m sure you did New Year, New me in 2020. That makes both of us.
If you’re Nigerian, then you know how important new year prayer points are for some of us. ( I grew up writing them every year). Last year, I added new year resolutions and even a vision board for the year. I’m sure 2020 was laughing at me in January. 2020 was good for a lot of things, the greatest being “TIME” which we had a lot more. (Thanks to Covid). 2020 was supposed to be the year I blew (I had all the images on my vision board). It was supposed to happen automatically because I wrote it on the board right?
I should be a Range Rover owner too (don’t ask me how). Heck! I had a bunch of stuff on my vision board that never happened.
Who should we blame?
First I blamed Aunty Rona,( we were in lockdown since March). I said I could not go out to take pictures in nice locations so no creating content.
Then I blamed uncle Mark because he blocked my Instagram account. I thought my world would come to an end, I stopped writing and held back on blogging for over three months
Looking back, I’m asking myself ”what if Instagram crashes, what do you have to show as a blogger aside from your Instagram feed”
For me, nothing changed last year after the new year, new me. I practically forgot I even had a vision board or set goals to begin with.
At the end of the year, I remembered my vision board and the goals I set. Then I got ready to tick off the list.
Guess what?
I got nothing to tick off.
I did New Year, New Me but was still stuck with my old self. Nothing new happened, nothing changed just the year.
I had time, time, and more time but did nothing.
Now I know it’s not enough to do new year, new me, or set goals but how far and well you do the new me.
It’s not enough to write things down or plan a whole operation without moving.
I ate up and digested so much content, so much information but I never moved, pursued, or did anything with it.
Why this post?
No new year, new me but same me with a new strategy.
What’s that?
That’s what I lacked last year, I was all talk and no do.
What I learned from Last year is what I’m taking into the new year
Let’s see how I do by 31st December 2021
If I want to blow someday and drive that Range Rover, then I better start moving.
Who is moving with me?
New Year, New Me, or Same Me, New Strategy?
