It's the new year and it's good to see ya (maybe I should keep it 'you' for professional writing). Hahaha, did Dani boast of being a professional? We just keep doing our thing and improving on a daily basis, you can keep the rest. Another year and this guy is just not out of vibes, learning to write in a funny and interactive way is entertaining.
Do you realize that most times, professionalism is boring. Put the dot here, the comma there, keep your collar straight, your eyes fixed, your tie in place and the rest of the Blah! Blah!! Blah!!!. Come on, this is a new year, some breathing space please.
Thanks for your understanding. It's five days already into the new year meaning 5 out of 365 is down. Many are still enjoying their holiday but with huge certainties things are supposed to kick start fully from tomorrow. This is just for us streeters, maybe those money moguls will stay another one week or probably a month. I hope I am not talking too much? Sorry, because there will be more from where this came from in the remaining 360 days.
I don't know for you, but I am happy the Christmas and new year season is over. Ahh! You may not really understand why but I will give clear reasons in the article. I never saw this incoming coming, it just hit me and before I knew it, I saw myself radiating. Of course, it wasn't a radioactive activity, I am talking about my spending.

I had made up my mind to spend less this Christmas and new year courtesy of the project I have at hand. This doesn't mean I would not do my best to make people around me feel the season's impact. Nevertheless, we have to understand, there are forgone alternatives in order to execute a lucrative plan.
Did I meet up? It seemed I got my expenses just right during Christmas eve and Christmas day. How about new year eve and new year? This was where the bombshell happened. humans buy emotions, it is this emotional reaction that triggers expenses.
This is why many spend much money during festive seasons. I tried my best to keep my emotions in check until I don't know how, the unexpected happened. Maybe it was because I had some money in my expenses account. I will take note of that next time. I just had to make the people around me feel more happy.
Was the moment fun? Should I say no? Of course it was, putting smiles on many people's faces gave me a high level of happiness and also raised huge hopes. The little you do can make people confess positivity and I loved it when I saw that positive attitude of family and friends towards the new year. You can change someone's mentality in a single act, I saw it. Sometimes it's about connecting, humans are dependent beings. It was just some few gifts and new year surprises that I did, nothing much, yet I could sense the emotional, psychological, and mental relief from those involved.

I am planning to do much better of what I did this festive season during the coming Christmas and new year, this time I will make sure it is not an unexpected expenses. It being unexpected only affected my discipline state which I must have in order to meet some necessary targets. I felt if I had planned for it, I wouldn't have seen some financial deficits. There is nothing much in life than making the most of every moment while also staying very disciplined. Without this discipline being in check it will end like the old saying, 'a fool and his money soon part ways'.
I have to admit, I overspent when I could no longer control my emotions, this is not something to be happy about. I am grateful it was a one week thing and I have fully recovered myself I guess. It is time to get back to hustle full time and make the most of 2025. I am not coming here with any new year resolution, I have a plan to follow already. This is one advantage you can have when thinking long term.
It is a matter of understanding, the days of trying to speed things up have been erased from my mentality. This doesn't mean I will fold myself and watch opportunities pass me by. No, it means good things take time and we need to admit this, a solid foundation can keep a building.
To conclude, let me add, I really appreciate all those who have stayed around to read and upvote my articles last year. Of course I am not the best of writers, it is just me writing my best and improving daily. Let's keep the positive energy going. Beyond the Hive and InLeo platform, let's keep all our hustle positive. As I said, good things take time, do well to make the most of 2025.
