Having a 9 to 6 job comes with a lot of responsibilities. But finally the year is ending and we finally get the time to rest as we prepare for the new year. Although the break isn't looking to be that long, what can I do other than accept the corporate life I have chosen. It's never always easy knowing full well that I've got to work and report for the office. These days I've been guilty of negligence out of laziness. Right at this period I feel worn out and secretly praying the holidays should start already. For me the holidays will officially start on the 21st of December 2024, but I can't start my holidays until 23rd of December because I've got a Christmas play to act on the 22nd which leaves me with exactly 14 days of freedom.

Looking at it already it's feeling as though it won't be enough for me, and I honestly hope it won't turn out so. Because there are a lot of things I wish to do before the year runs out and things I need to do immediately as the year begins. Looking back, I would say I’ve done 90% of the things I envisioned for the year 2024, although they weren't all as successful as I hoped, but I've learned a handful of lessons from my experience this year and enough to form better goals that should yield better results. If I should be true to myself I never saw the need to write down my goals last year heading into this year, so I kept them simple enough to help me always remember them and hold on to the thoughts of accomplishing them.
This year would be quite different because I've got a lot on my sleeves and in order to forget or mix everything up, I would need to write it down. Now that I have to say this out loud I do not think I would be resting at all during this holiday because even though I would be free from the office work, I won't be free from my personal work that I hope would help me grow in my career and position me for better opportunities in 2025. I really see myself making some big changes next year in my life, changes that would turn things around for me, and I'm hoping at the end of the the changes I would be making would eventually pay off. Like I said earlier on, it's not that I like to do these things, I just feel I must do them if I need the results I dream about next year.

I currently have my goals off heart, I say it to myself everyday and try to remember them at even the slightest occurrence. But even though I will be all about setting them on paper, I would also need to make out time to truly celebrate with my special someone and my family as well. I am looking at it and already seeing myself disappointing some people on engagements we will need to have, however, I will try to do my best to make sure I don't disappoint too much so they don't go into the new year sad about something I've done. I will try to incorporate them into my plans and even make sure I can plan with some of them so we could all be busy doing the planning together 😂.
