If It Doesn't Go As Planned, Don't Fret - Talking It Out Thursdays

Warmest greetings everyone and happy new year once again.

January is already here with us and the days are running as if it's on a marathon race, hehehe.
Well however it decides to flow, I'll flow too whether it likes it or not but once I see say e wan carry me go where I no know, I go tear race oo, lol.

Just like we know January is one of the most tasking months of the year. Most people make plans for the new year, set goals and even draw out strategies on how to achieve such goals.
Some other folks make new year resolutions - things to do and the ones to avoid, that's a good way to start the new year. There are others who do not go through this tradition of making new year resolution, they just continue with the flow which the year brings. Just so you know, human beings differ and what seems so important to one person may be less important to the other.

Just like every other person have goals and plans for year 2024, and how to go about achieving them, I, too have some goals I plan to achieve both on Hive and in my personal life.

One of topics in the last month's engagement challenge on Dreemport centered on our various dreems - that is those things we dream of having or doing in year 2024 and mine is to acquire a land and build a house there. This will cost a lot of money, I know but I won't fret because I'm saving up for it
and that is why I have resolved to be intentional about my Hive activities, work and other stuffs I do that generate income.

Coming to Hive, my goal for the first quarter of the year is to grow my account to 1,500 HP, and Leo stake to 10,000 LP, learn more about crypto and invest in some other viable ones.

Also I've resolved to be active in the community, create more quality and engaging contents, participate and support the ecosystem's projects, and delegate to some viable community projects etc.

I have high hopes that it will be a smooth sail to achieving these goals, because of course I have put up excellent strategies and I'm equally implementing them one after the other, crossing the t's and dotting the i's with the highest morale that I can gather.

Anyone who embarks on a journey always hope to have a safe trip, same way a person who starts up a business expects it to be successful in the long run but we know sometimes, things do not go exactly as planned, the journey to success comes with ups and downs, twists and turns, wins and losses etc so if it happens that after a quarter, and getting half way into the year and it seems like I am making no headway to achieving most of the plans and goals, at first, I will definitely feel sad, unhappy and a little discouraged, who wouldn't be after seeing that all their efforts aren't yielding the desired results.
Anxiety may set in especially if I think too much about the sacrifices, time spent and resources expended to ensure things work.
This is a natural phenomenon and no one can control it so what do I do next?

• I will relax and keep my cool so I don't bring depression upon myself.
• Next is to try finding out what went wrong, where things derailed.
• Again I will look at the goals again and scale them up starting with the most important ones.
• Armed with these information, I will then go back to the drawing board, the basics to re-strategize, re-plan and then plunge ahead, sticking to my scale of preference so that I won't be overwhelmed, and this time around, there will be positive outcomes.
