Tough times don't last, tough people do

Don't you just feel like, wasn't it like a few weeks back we ushered the new year in, with lots of hopes, goals, and dreams, wow! So 10 months are gone already and we are just 2 months away from wrapping this year, to be frank, this year has been the toughest so far in general aspects of life, starting with our day-to-day living cost, the dwindling economy and high cost of getting basic needs has made a lot of people give up on their goals and dream and now are solely dedicated on surfing our harsh economy

Just like most people, I also have my resolutions for the year, and even have them written to help keep hope alive and also motivate me when I go back to them, especially on bad days when I feel like giving up, the first quarter of the year started with me planning, and strategizing how I want these goals achieved, which included, gathering funds, working overtime to meet up my year's goal, especially for my business growth, while the second quarter was me having an opportunity cost over what can be achievable and what I needed to suspend for the main time, even though all were likewise important for me, some say starting a business is difficult, what most peoplelele don't know is maintaining the business can be demanding as well, if not more than the starting phase, trying to meet up with these goals has been one of my difficult challenge this year, trying to grow my business, while still juggling being a mother, wife and also taking the decision to I've been pending for a long while,
Furthering my studies even with my already zero/unavailable time to spare.

Just when I thought this year would also roll over without still meeting my expectations for the year concerning my fashion business, as I first took the decision of improving my academic Iver business, this time, haven sacrificed this decision a lot in previous years I believe God came through for me, because I can also term it a miracle when someone of out of nowhere suddenly wants to support and be a part of my business growth just after his first patronize, it still feels surreal to me that at least half of what I needed to attain 2024 business goals has been cleared just 2 months to the end of the year, indeed tough times may last,but tough people last longer.

Now I understand better when people say delay is not denial, as long as you keep doing what you have to do, not giving up, then surely,change will always come through. Life isn't easy, especially nowadays, so it's important to make conscious effort to keep pushing, it might seem that the remaining 2 month are too short, but note that a lot can still be achieved within the two months, I still haven't fulfilled all I wanted for this year, but I'm grateful at least, I'm not where I used to be.
