Personally, I see Ember months as a planning stage for the next year by making sure I set my goals and vision to achieve in the coming year. Still, most times it's really hard to follow these plans because of the society we fall under; things are really hard, and everyone is struggling, so setting a dream might seem impossible.
Having dreams is one thing, then turning them into reality is another thing, especially when coming from a low-income home. I remember before I entered college, I always wanted to be a pilot but now, I am an IT designer, but this doesn't stop me from my dreams, I beleive this can still be achieved as far as I am young, i might not be a plane pilot but i can be a fighter jet pilot which is why i will love to join the airforce because of my high interest in piloting an aircraft.
I beleive not everyone can have a single dream, its impossible to have a single dream, we all have multiple things to achieve, being a young grown man now, I am have a big dream of building my family a fancy house withing the next five years or within 3 years I beleiev this can be accomplished, if I put in my best and my full focus to make this things happen.
It's not easy surviving in a country like mine, nobody to call to talk to when you are done, most times we just play a song and listen till we are done. This has always been my therapy, listening to songs and watching videos related to my mood. Life is hard for a poor man, but life is short for a rich man. All I aim for is just to fulfil the few things and dreams I set aside for every year in my life. Most times I get to write about these things I wish to achieve, sometimes it's about a new gadget or laptop or anything around, and so far I have been achieving some I have set myself aside to.
Reality really makes dreams seem so impossible, but I have a strong will that if someone can do that thing I dream of achieving, and the person was successful, then I can also be successful in that thing.
Setting goals that are reasonable and achievable should be he first step, I believe every year has its own blessings, so we need to plan for it. My new year often starts from the end of the year, and I have always followed this process since 2023, planning before the year ends, because I wouldn't want to struggle at the beginning of the year or even throughout the year.
Dreams to me are stage by stage, we get to achieve them by levelling up, gradually. I break my goal into realistic milestones, and remind myself that progress is slow and gradual. The road to achieving my goals might seem tough now, but I know I will rise above the struggle.
