The year is coming to an end with just a few days to go, and whenever I look back at how the year started, how I survived many obstacles, and how I succeeded in various endeavours, all I can say is cheers 2025. There were a lot of lessons learned from mistakes and also achievements. These lessons have restructured my lifestyle, which will make me a better person to face the coming year and also live better.
Life is all about lessons and impacts, either from personal mistakes, other people’s mistakes, or from the positive touches we experience each day. Every year, just like the way we have different classes in school, positions us to take in new lessons that help us get promoted to the next level and grow into better individuals.
Sometime this year, I ventured into sports betting, which was not something I was into before.
You know the saying that addiction starts small; that was how I saw myself growing into sports betting addiction. Gladly, I had not gone far when my right senses came back, and I had to stop. I was not winning at all, although the money I was putting in was not a big amount, it was cumulatively growing into a large sum. Maybe if I had won once or twice, I would have continued, but thanks to my God for not allowing me to be lured by the wins. The losses encouraged me to stop, and I am glad I obeyed my instinct and stopped.
This may not seem like a big achievement to others, but it is a huge one for me. I know how difficult it is to end an addiction, and if I had not stopped, maybe by now I would have been filled with regret and hating my life at every game I staked on and lost.
Thanks
