Planning is critical, planning is important, planning is logical, planning is intentional. These I ponder upon as I make out my plans for the new year, 2025. The popular saying goes, "he who fails to plan, plans to fail" and I assure you that I was not in any way planning to fail or even to play in this new year. For me it is beyond making some resolutions that has been customary of many people and many years. It was about being intentional, yeah being intentional. As stated above, planning is intentional, something I realised.

Before I take you through my agenda or plans for the year 2025, I like to state that the previous year remains not just a past year but a lesson as well. I have learnt a lot from it, seen much in it and faced challenges, success and failures that have made the agenda for this year directional for me. I do not see myself just kind of strolling in and around the year but taking it by the horns and doing my thing as I should, and addressing last year setbacks that were hindrances or obstacles to some of my accomplishments.
This year, 2025 is much about taking the bulls by the horn and growing in every respect of my life that I can take hold of. I feel results might come out bit by bit but hey, they say that "little drops of water make an ocean". I believe in making and taking daily momentary steps to the success one desires. So for this year I set these agenda:
Growth: not necessarily the physical growth, no but spiritual, intellectual, financial, relational and as well as in skills. So right early from the beginning of this year even, I make it a point of duty to grow right away. There is no waiting to this month or that month before I do that, but right away. This for me is to feed myself with knowledge of every good kind so as to see that I move from this level to the next. Be it books, courses, tutorials, seminars, I will be all in as time will permit. It will not come easy I know but hey, I am determined and only me can stop me - chuckles.
Hive power up: this is next on the agenda for me. Hive has already been instrumental and wonderful to me that I see it necessary to invest my time and effort into it to contribute my quota to it enormous growth already. So this year, I plan on powering up my hive power. I believe this will give me more strength and relevance in this space to be able to contribute my part.
Good gadgets: I had a lot planned especially concerning my skills; to develop and become well established in them. But then, I had a big setback namely, gadgets. It was like you wanted to go fishing but then you have no pole, hook, net or whatsoever that is tangible for such an activity, only the bait to lure fish that you have. How much will that go, huh? So yeah, gadgets and a laptop will be a good start.
Start a business: this has been a desire of mine from time. This year, I hope to achieve that. The idea is to go into an agricultural inclined business; raising livestock or crops production and storage. Either way, it is an item on my agenda I hope to realise this year.
Learn new things: this agenda comes a lot with me achieving some of the above. I will always want to learn new things. For me, it is something that makes one stay relevant in our fast pace growing world. With my gadgets in place, I believe there will be no limit to my learning especially with respect to the skills aspect of my life.
It is so wonderful for me to make my first post here and I hope you enjoyed reading through. I also hope to share more here in this community.
