Just yesterday, I asked myself, what's my main focus for the remaining half of the year? Later that evening, I came across Abundance Tribe's Biweekly Question which says, "What is your main focus moving forward into the second half of this year, what is it that you wish to manifest?" By the way, you can check out rules guiding this question HERE.
The year has been a busy one for me, and most of it has been taken by my work, but I honestly need more time to myself, so I can concentrate on my personal stuffs. Just when I think I'm free for just a minute, something new will come up from work and it's vexing because my work as a teacher take up so much of my time and I honestly don't have much time for other stuffs that fetch me money. I just need sometime for my personal stuffs, I can't be managing someone else's business and forget to manage my own, that's just not right. Day's like this, thought of quitting my job always cross my mind, but like a wish man once said, before you make such a move, make sure your side hustle can take care of your responsibilities times two of what your 9 to 5 job will do. Basically, before you quit, make sure you have something way better to replace your current job.
But then, I can't continue like this, I have been reflecting on the other half of this year even before seeing this topic, and one of the major focus revolve around my blog. I told myself at the beginning of this year that I want to write a lot and I am really happy that, I have been squeezing out little time from my busy schedule to keep up with this. So far, I have been doing well with my writing, but I still want more time for it. One of my main focus for the remaining part of this year has to do with my blog and how to stay true and consistent with my contents.
Another focus for me this year, something I know will take me to the next level of my life, is for my students to qualify for all the competitions we have been preparing for. Currently, we have about four qualification examinations to write for four different competitions, I have been working with these special students every single day except Sundays, and I just hope they get qualified when they finally get to write all of these exams, and if they qualify, I pray we get our long awaited victory in at least one of these competitions, because it will not only be a blessing to these kids but also a big win for me. So, my focus is center on winning with my kids this period.
I have always want to make threespeak videos, but I don't have a tripod stand or even a phone stand, I have always say I want to get one, but the expenses on my head right now are just too much. It's not just a tripod, I also have this thought of getting myself a foldable field tripod art easel for my art (yeah, till date, I still don't own a easel๐๐), adulthood is not easy, money always leaving, too much responsibility never having enough to do for myself. I really want a phone tripod stand and a art easel. I was checking the cost on Jumia the other day, both their shipping fee and the cost of both products is around 40USD. Day's like this, I just wish my helper will locate me ๐๐๐, but hey, I am working my A-Word out so I can get them before the year run out. I know for sure, that with my phone tripod stand available, I will be able to drop videos once in a while on threespeak and take my Blogging experience to the next level. And also, with my easel, I wouldn't have to hurt my back all the time from bending while drawing. I just hope I earn enough so I can get these things, that way I can take my hustle to the next level. I believe so much in earning my money from a honest soil, hence the reason I work this hard for everything I own, and I know these products, I will own them soon, and when I do, I will use them to work to get other products I need to help me grow.
Screenshot image from Jumia. The left image is the image of the foldable phone tripod stand and it comes with a ring light and also a bluetooth remote. While the right image is the image of the foldable artist easel, both stand can be increased to a maximum height of about 107cm which is about 42.8 inches.
The remaining part of this year, my main focus is to earn enough so I can get most of the things I need for next year, from the beginning of the year, I have get some of the things I need and I have been working with some of them, and with time, I will get the other things, taking it one step at a time. Lastly, something I have been trying to do for a while now, for the remaining part of this year, I want to focus more on my self growth, I have already purchase some courses on udemy that I will have to dedicate my time to, and by the grace of God, I hope to finish them before the year run out. Kiyosaki said in one of his books (I can't recall which one right now though ๐ค๐ค), he said, use your 20's to develop yourself and also fail in your 20's, find what you are good at, and when the time is right, develop each of the things you discover during your quest of searching. So, I bought some courses online recently to develop some personal skills, since I am always busy with work, I will be spending little time each day to study them, and by the end of the year, I hope to cover enough.
Basically, my main focus for the remaining part of the year has to do with things that will boost my growth in life although some part involve things that will boost my students also. Yeah, I almost forgot, one major focus this year, is to beat my own record from last year's WAEC Examination, this year, the students I am taking to WAEC, I pray up to 80% get an A1 in my subject mathematics and a 100% result for mathematics and their other subjects. Last year, by God grace and a lot of hard work, I got 60% A1 and a 100% of the students pass their mathematics. No one in my school understand why I work twice as hard for the current SS3, apart from them being my all time favourite students (which I don't always say to them ๐๐), I really want to beat my last year's record, it will mean a lot to me.
Wow! Already a long read, but I'm glad I could share it with you guys here on Hive, this is the one place I can say all the things in my mind, the only place I can explain my actions and the things I do, I just hope everything work out for me this year. Thanks for this wonderful question, and I am happy I participated.
