Now that we are in the last quarter of the year, I can say 2025 has really been good and great for me. I am so grateful to God for everything because being alive at this point in the year is not something to take for granted. Many people I know are no more, and yet I am here, alive and healthy. That alone shows me that even if I have not achieved all my goals, there is still hope. Life itself is the biggest privilege, and as long as I am alive, I believe my goals are still possible.

When I think about the goals I wrote down at the beginning of the year, I realize I have been able to achieve some, while others are still pending. For example, one of my main goals was to stay consistent with my business pages on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I started well at the beginning of the year—I was posting regularly and trying to grow my pages. But as time went on, my consistency reduced, and that affected my growth. I was not able to meet the target I set for myself in terms of followers and engagement. This is something I still need to work on, and I hope I can push myself more before the year ends.
On the other hand, one goal I am really happy about is my consistency on Hive. I told myself this year that I was going to be posting every week, and I am glad I kept to that. It may look small to some people, but to me, it is a big achievement because it shows I can be disciplined if I focus. This consistency has given me encouragement and made me believe I can still achieve more in other areas if I put in the same energy.

Another big achievement for me this year is starting my BSc degree. After finishing my Higher National Diploma (HND), it has always been my dream to further my studies, and I wrote it down as one of my goals for 2025. I am grateful to God that I was able to start it this year. Even though it was not easy because of financial challenges, I am glad I was able to take the first step. There are still some goals I could not achieve because of finances, but I believe God will make a way before the year is over.
One area I feel disappointed about is reading books. At the beginning of the year, I listed many books I wanted to finish, but I was only able to read one or two. This is not what I planned at all, and it makes me feel like I didn’t push myself enough. Still, I don’t want to give up. Even if I can’t read all the books I planned, I can still pick up some before the year runs out. Small progress is better than no progress.
For me, I don’t believe in waiting for a new year before starting something new. A new day is already a chance to start again. Many people like to say “new year, new goals,” but I believe that if I still have time left this year, I should use it well. The year is not over until it ends, and a lot can still be achieved before 2026 begins.
So, as I look back at 2025, I feel grateful for the things I achieved, hopeful for the ones I haven’t achieved yet, and encouraged to keep pushing in this last quarter. I am not just waiting for the year to end; I want to use the days that are left wisely. Life has taught me that every single day counts, and I don’t want to waste it.
