Hi guys welcome to episode 2025 of the year, I am glad you made it to this episode. This is an indication that God is not yet done with you, he still has lots of plans and purpose for your life.
So today I am joining this contest for the first time and I am glad to share my old time believe that I recently discarded.
Growing up I didn't believe in keeping relationships, I didn't believe that I needed any human being to succeed. I use to feel that I don't need anybody to succeed, all I need is God. So I never had much friends, and I never cared much about friendships and relationships.
I believe in having just a friend and when it's time to part ways, everyone moves on with their lives and never look back.
I didn't value relationships, I don't give a damn of whatever anybody is, it's their cup of tea, whatever they are.
I can be friends with someone for some months, afterwords I'll discard the relationship and move on with my life. I was living an individualistic life, and I was contented with whatever I had. So I don't care about whatever another person has.
In my mind, I thought I was getting it right and I felt I was being a good girl, doing the right things by minding my business.
Little did I know that some people are destiny helpers in disguise. Someone you never valued today, might be the one to speak on your behalf in a position of authority tomorrow.
This happened until a point in time in my life when it looked like I was stock in a particular situation. I went to meet a woman for advice, she started talking about my circle of friends.
And she was so shocked that I never had friends. She was like, you mean there is nobody you can call right now as a friend and the person will come through for you, i was quite for a while thinking about my life and looking stupid in her eyes.
The woman was so disappointed in me, she started telling me how she has gone for vacations outside Nigeria all expense trip sponsored by friends, and not that she wanted to go, but they invited her by themselves.
It was at that point that I started recalling all the relationships and friendships I had discarded, which would have been a great help for me at the said moment.
I went back to my house from that day, and made a 360 degrees change of mind and attitude from that nonsense life style.
I intentionally started looking out for my old friends, some of them had far moved on that we couldn't reconnect, others the reconnection wasn't strong enough like before, so it was just a hello and hi friendship.
So I consciously decided to start making new friends and valuable relationships afresh.
So right now, I don't joke with anyone that comes my way, I believe there is definitely a reason why God allowed my path and this person's path to cross, so I look out for that reason in the relationship.
And since then, I have met a lot of amazing personalities of different shades, both guys and ladies so amazing 😍.
The below are some of my amazing friends that had impacted my life positively.
I have met people who have recommended me for jobs and businesses and more.
I have met people who just love me for who I am and are willing to help me grow.
Now I value relationships, I value friendships, I value everyone that walks into my life believing that this one is on a mission in my life for good.
Though I still have a way of spotting the ones with bad agender and showing them the door, but I have met more good people than bad people since i started embracing relationships and friendships.
Secondly, I wasn't an event person before now. I just love all indoors activities. I wasn't just an out going person. I rather get the gist of the outdoor event or stream it online rather than being there live.
But I realized that the people I needed in my life are not inside my room, they are outside, so I also started going out for events and meetups.
And guess what, since I started going out for these events and meetups, my circle also has started changing, my relationship portfolio has started upgrading, a lot is changing about me virtually and I am grateful to God that I decided to take this new path.
The below are some live events I had attended with my 2 legs, unlike me.
This change of attitude had been one of the most amazing decisions I took lately and I am not regretting them and inch.
