The year so far has been a blissful one for me, I'm really excited about everything so far, how God is really helping me and ordering my steps in the right direction...
Yah I'm a believer and one of my believe is that all thing will definitely work out for my good, no matter the circumstances, and the reason why I say all this is because when I compare this year and other past years of my life the difference is clear I'm so pleased with myself and how everything is gradually falling into place...
About my experiences this far, well I won't say its been all rosy and shinny, but on a scale of 80-20% its been favorable...
Alright shall we..
This is the year I embarked on my national assignment as a young graduate in Nigeria which is a prerequisite in our country that every graduate under goes this assignment, and so as the custom is, we will be posted to various part of the country, to any of the 37 states in the country to serve there for one year, so I was so uncertain, so skeptical about all of this, going to start life afresh in a different place where I don't know anybody, alltho I tried to work things out to favour be atleast, but my hope was dashed I was disappointed when the posting came out and I was posted to a different place entirely where I never thought of.
Howbeit I accepted my posting in good faith parked my stuffs in good faith and left home to serve my father's land uncertain of what awaits me out there.
One thing i made up my mind on is that I am going to whole heartedly enjoy every moment of my service year, Like i won't let anything get in the way of my joy, my happiness, my excitement, I was going to feel every moment, every experience would count, I would explore and have my fill to satisfaction, you know that feeling of enjoy the ride, open your eyes and ride along, i was determine nothing was going to get in the way....
One time I was talking to a fellow corp member and she was complaining bitterly about the state, about how she would have been in another state that would have been better Instead she's here, she hates the place, the people, nothing here appeals to her and she can't wait to get out of these thing....
My simple reply to her was " we often think the land is greener somewhere else untill we get there", asked her what's the guarantee that the people there are not also complaining of that place you desire to go wishing also to be here that you complain about.
"I too never wanted to be here" but here i am and I'm going to love it here, yes the place isn't all that pleasant but making up one mind to enjoy these adventures will make one start seeing things differently, that's making the most of what you have to your own advantage.....
Probably because of the mindset I have already
It's like everything is working according to my words, while others complaining I'm loving it really not faking it but I'm been realistic, so far my experiences since the Inception of the year which was when my journey actually began has been nothing sort of Great 👍
But that isn't just it, I'm also looking foreward to my life after now. I'm an ambitious, futuristic, realistic and a rational person, so because of that I plan a lot, I forecast, project and look for every legitimate strategy to see my plans come alive...
So from this second half of the year I have really been Into the books, my brains active round the clock planning, thinking on how to fudge ahead with my goals, target for the year, how to see them come alive all that new year resolutions that I've written I need to see that they are up and running an apply extra energies to see them actualize, cause there's lot is still to do ....
