100% Optimistic About 2026.

I once again welcome you all to 2026. This is a year I strongly believe will be better than 2025 for me personally. I am stepping into this year with that mindset. One thing I noticed about my life last year was that I was skeptical about many things I should have done. I was not serious about taking some decisions or bold steps to achieve some of the things I wanted. I made mistakes and allowed fear to hinder me from doing some things. In fact the year 2025 came with many experiences. Some were good. Some were not good. Some of those experiences taught me lessons I did not expect. I had plans for that year, sadly, I did not achieve most of those plans as expected. And like I said, fear played a role, doubt played a role, procrastination also played it's role. I waited when I should have acted. I ignored some opportunities that could have helped me grow. Well, I accept it as part of my growth.

One thing 2025 gave me while I was reflecting on the year was self awareness. I reflected on the decisions I've taken, the habits I possessed, the actions and moves I took and while I noted them down, I drew my conclusion about the year and how this year 2026 will be.

For 2026, I have decided to be more intentional about what I want and what I do. I have set goals for the year. I've written them down. I am defining exactly what I want to achieve. I am clear about where I want to be by the end of the year. I am focusing on my daily actions that will support those goals. I am also paying attention to what and who I need in my life this year. You know, growth does not happen in isolation. So I am identifying skills I need to learn. I am identifying habits I need to build and habits I need to do away with. I am identifying people who will inspire me to do better. People who think positively. People who support growth. People who are serious about their own lives. These are people I will walk and learn from them this year.

Not everything and everyone from last year should follow me into this year. There are things and even certain people that didn't add any value to me. In this year, I am identifying any distractions that will hinder me. I am identifying every habits and behaviours that will waste my time. I'm also identifying people with like mindset. Anyone who does not share the same mindset or direction with me will not have access to my focus this year. This is not hatred, I'm only be careful not to be influence. Everyone cannot go with me to the next level of my life.

My finance is another area where I will be more serious with this year. I have set a financial target. I have a business plan in mind, and I know what it will require. So I am very intentional about saving. No more unnecessary spendings or billings. I am choosing long term results over short term pleasure this year.

I am also committed to improving my digital skill. As the world is changing fast and rapidly, I do not want to be left behind and remain stick to only what I already know. I am learning new digital skills. I am improving the ones I already have. I want to be more advanced than where I am today. I want to be more confident in what I can offer. So part of what I'm going to do this year is investing more in myself.

Above all, I am going deeper with God this year. I am strengthening my relationship with him. I am learning to trust God more. I am learning to listen more. I am learning to pray more and with purpose and to receive directions on what to do, steps to take and decisions to make. With God at the center of my plans, I am confident that I am not going to walk blindly.

So yes, I am 100% optimistic about 2026. I believe it is going to be more better than 2025.

To the admin @galenkp and the entire Hive family, I wish you all a Happy New Year. Greetings!!!!
