I don't know if it only me, or not that feels like this year runs faster than the norm, or what do you think? Cause today being the foest monday of September reminds me of last year, about this day as monday last year, i started my photography journey, amd 2 or 3 days to that day, my phone was stolen, not just stolen but was traded with a roasted chicken of about 1500 naira or thereabout...

What i am trying to say is that i can remember everything that happened vividly like it happened few weeks ago, and indeed a whole year has passed, it's all now memories... the funny part about all these is that next year again, we mighy still say the same thing, that the year is running so fast, it sometimes feels like the 24 hours in a day is not more complete, i mean, there are no more long days or lomg nights for resting, and so on... well, such is life.

So like i said earlier, about thia day last year, i ventured into something i saw that i was interested in, and not just that i was just interested in, i was comfortable and happy doing it, which was photography.

Well, as of then, i just did it out of the driven passion amd yhe fun in it, the fact thag people were going to comment on your art, yiur creativity, and ao many more, but as time went on, i realized that passion can only bring satisfaction to your head, you'll only get hailed, which was nice but not enough, i mean, i cannot be fed with just passion, but on the other hand, there is something very much great that passion can do, which is even beyond just being creative, but being able to transfer that passion to a way of bringing funds, yes, if you don't still get what i am talking about, let me break it down in smaller language, i am talking about MONEY!, i mean whatbus a man without money? Nothing of course and so i do not want to be known with just a passionate man, but a man that has the capability to control not jus passion but alao a man that also can also control money, amd not just small money, but a lot of money via my passion...

So how do i do that? Bybthe grace of God, after i finished with my two and the half months training, i started to volunteer for some things, i started to get recognized in my space, and i started to see small money, and i started to enjoy my passion the more, the more i started to have goals for the year, and yeah, of course i have met some, but not all, and now, we have just about 4 more months left in this year, and i have not yet completed what i planned out as a goal.

(some timesi ask myself, can i still make it? Can i still do what i want to do? Im i srill capable? With the way everything is looking, i get so discouraged, and then i feel like i have backing {God!}...

So anytime i remember the promises of God, i smile, i didnt put myself where i am today, i didn't struggle to be what i am, so why should i struggle to be in places i cant handle yet...

I have not goetten everything i need as a goal of the year, but no, even if i dknt get everything, i will still egt a lot of things before the year runs out, and i can call that an achievement , i mean, if no one is proud of me, i am proud of me, i am not yet where i want to be, not even 10% close, but i know, when its the right time for everything to come out as a ripe fruit, it will...

Thank you all for your time, i appreciate it a lot. ..
