The Power Of Reflection
Lessons are always there. Each and every year holds some teachings and lessons. It all depends on how you look at it. It all depends on how you look view it. At the end of the day, perspective matters in life. As I normally say, life is a phenomenal teacher. It’s time to reflect, what has the previous year taught you? What did you learn?
While you are thinking of that, I will tell you of my own experiences. In this post, I will reflect on the past year, the key lessons learned and setbacks. I will also share on the positive things derived from the previous year. Are you ready? Let’s go. The following life lessons were learnt personally by me during the previous year:
- Your mental health determines how far you can go in life
Like it or not, you can do nothing without good health. Lets look physically, can you do anything when you are really and really sick? Not a chance. Your health at the end of the day determines your movement. Neglecting your mental health can sabotage a lot of things in your life.
When your mental health is bad, you won’t live your life to the fullest. Being intentional about my mental health earlier on really made a very huge difference in my life. If it was not for my mental health, all the challenges and tests of life would have taken me out. So my mental health is my secret. You can adopt it as well.
- Personal development determines your success
Most of your successes and wins will definitely come from how developed you are. Personal development produces success. As a person who is so obsessed with personal development, I do know what I am talking about. My development really took me though. When you have developed yourself as a person, you will really realize how easy and manageable life can get.
- You can’t do it alone
Like I was tempted to go alone, sometimes that’s not always the case. I can’t even fathom how life would have been without my mom and dad on my side. You see, though most of the times I go alone, sometimes other pivotal members of my life are necessary. This was my big fat lesson in 2024. In the words of one of the famous African proverbs, ”if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go together”.
- Energy matters the most
Energy is the ability to do work. Without energy, it will be very impossible to do work. Have you ever found yourself wanting to do something and ended up not doing it because you were tired or fatigued? Exactly my point. I learnt the power and importance of energy in day to day living. Cultivate energy and preserve it like your life depends on it because it does.
- Consistency is the key to seeing the results
What I have realized in the previous year, consistency is like an engine in the car. No car will work without an engine. The engine brings life to the car. Cultivate the muscle of consistency and witness the results with your naked eyes. Without consistency, results will be impossible.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Learning never stops
Learning never stops because life is forever teaching. Life is forever dishing out some golden nuggets and insights on day to day basis. The main question is, are you listening? Pay attention. Be vigilant and life will be your oyster.
Those were the powerful life changing lessons I learnt in the previous year. I hope they will improve you as much as they have improved me. That’s the main idea of sharing this article together with you in the beginning of the year.
Reflect on yours and also add on the above ones. So what about you? What were your 2024 key insights? Lets hear in the comments section. Remember, it works if you work it. Till we meet again in the next post. Happy new year. Peace!!!
