By this time next week, the year will not only be spent but it will be done and dusted. So much to cheer but not without stories that touch the heart. If yours is full of wins, raise an altar of thanksgiving in praise of Yahweh.

If you had some losses, it’s still yes and yes in songs of praises to the host of heaven. If it’s a mixed bag, don’t forget to praise and praise because it is one sure way to victory. Allow me to say that 2021 will roll by but not without its lessons if only you care to listen.

Head or tail, life is full of lessons for those who are full of ears with their heart in company. Some learn from wins but others learn from losses. More often than not, I’ve learnt to be awake even when I’m sleeping. Not that I hate sleep but because sometimes you listen best when the noise is deafening.

If there is any lesson I learnt from 2021, it is to know that the best person you can be is yourself even when the world doesn’t feel like it. If you crave to be loved by all, you will struggle to strike a balance between knowing yourself and finding your purpose.

I found out that the best way to move away from the things you don’t like is to start moving gradually towards the things you like. It may appear a tortuous journey but I learnt that slow and steady wins the race.

2021 has been an amazing year with you on the other side, I’ve come to throw my salute. You kept me here because I know that you are there, the feeling is pleasing. The next time you read from me, we would have crossed over to the new year with a bag full of promises.

Thank you for being a good part of me even as I sign out for this amazing year 2021. I sincerely look forward to your company in 2022 and beyond.

Happy New Year in advance.
