A Leap onto 24

It’s January 1, 2024. the start of another year. Incidentally this year starts on a Monday but its also a leap year. Well don’t expect me to explain why any of these may line up with any theory, I’m just fascinated by the peculiarity of the year. A leap year affords those born on February 29 to at least celebrate their actual birth days.

Of course many people have also set up resolutions and plans for the year, my advice however is to set SMART goals. I’m not particularly a fan of new year resolutions I just make a daily commitment to personal development. I try not to beat myself hard if things do not go particularly as expected, but that’s by the way.

The line up of events for this year are numerous. Virtually every football confederation has a tournament this year – AFCON, UEFA Euro, CONMEBOL COPA America, AFC Asian Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, etc. Lets not forget the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics which begins on the 26th of July.

The United States would also be electing a new President on Tuesday, the 5th of November, of course the primaries for various political parties starts from the 15th of January to the 10th of September.

All this story just to let you know how lucky you are to witness a special year. You sef deserve some accolades, do not settle for less, you just might surpass your expectations. You could consider picking up cool habits and dropping off unproductive ones.
We know most people keep a to-do list but its also important to consider a ‘not-to-do list’.
For me, writing/journaling is a habit that followed me from the previous year and I expect to improve on it.

Just glancing through my journals and ‘Snaps’ makes me realise how much progress has been made in my personal development, the fact that certain prayer points suddenly transited to reality and I hardly noticed, I got to achieve a lot of goals I didn’t think were possible but I mean, I could track them because they were itemised.
Buttom line, dey write o.

Thanks for reading through. Welcome to 2024, we wish you a blessed and prosperous year ahead.
