Have You Seen The First Rains Of 2025?
It's day 23 of documenting 2025
I've got nothing planned for today's post.
I'm just gonna let it flow.
Let's see where it takes us.
That aside, the first rain of the year just fell in my area in Lagos.
I thought today was extra cloudy.... didn't know it would rain.
It was more like showers.
Showers of blessings.
I went outside to get a few drops on my head, counting it as good luck.
Not to sound superstitious tho 😄
Anyways, I feel like I made a bad decision yesterday.
Okay, hear this.
I worked for a marketing agency as one of their content writers.
Meaning, I wrote Instagram content for the brands that they handled.
Not all of them tho...
This was last month, before the New Year's.
But then, I had to create a blueprint I had on my mind.
So, I told my boss that I wouldn't continue working with them once the new year started.
He understood.
After the month was up, I got my payment and left the work I handled with the new content writer.
My replacement.
Since then, I created my blueprint and managed a group where I taught people about AI prompting.
By doing that, I was able to break through the fear of holding a Whatsapp class.
Duon can hold a class now 😁
But I deleted the group.
What?? Why??
You may ask.
I noticed that the members were losing interest after the first two sessions we had.
And in my own knowledge, I would say that they were not qualified leads.
Plus, I didn't want to leave the group dormant.
So, that's that.
Anyways, I digressed.
Where was I?
Oh yes!
The part about the agency.
I referenced them at first because yesterday, I got a call from my former boss.
He asked me if I could help.
One of the content writers lost a family member and couldn't perform as usual.
He asked if I could fill in for him for just one month.
Without asking for time to think about it, I said I would help out.
You know, stand in for the guy until he recovers.
I haven't started working yet.
Will do so after I publish this post.
After the call with my boss, I started to think that maybe I should have thought about it first.
I'm still doing my own thing and I've set a timetable for activities I must do each day.
But I've accepted the offer.
One month.
The last time I worked with them, I complained and I found the work overwhelming.
But it was all in my head.
I know better now.
I also wrote down a plan to perform better than I did last time.
But I will set my boundaries and my priorities will come first.
This blog for example.
Mornings will be for my activities and the rest of the day for messages and other engagements.
By the way, I'm expanding my attention to other books as well.
I have a giant library of books on goal setting, personal development, copywriting and marketing.
It has up to 70 books and resources.
Some of the book there, I've always wanted to read because I've been hearing about them.
I spent a few bucks to acquire it from an exclusive discount offer.
I'm glad I made that decision to pay.
So, going back to work with the agency may be a bad decision or a good decision, depending on the way I look at it.
And I choose to look at it from a growth perspective.
I see it as a chance to push myself and prove that I can handle work, passions and exploration of life.
Besides, it's just a month.
Like I said earlier, I've got nothing planned, which means I didn't read Tony's book last night.
And for some reason, my device was acting up.
This morning, I even lost all of my past records on some of the apps I use.
Doesn't mean I'll stop using them.
Life goes on, Ami ⚜️
I said earlier this week that I was tuning into poetry.
So far, it's been amazing.
Poems just have a way of making me feel like, "Wow, I love this!"
I've rewritten two of my existing poems into amazing pieces.
I'll tell you how you can find the whole compilation later.
It's all going well.
I welcome the challenges.
So I can crush them 💪
I'm doing what I can, with what I have, where I am.
I believe things will fall into place.
It's all a matter of time.
Thanks for your time, Ami.
Thanks for reading 😊
If you know me, I want you to know that I'm glad you're my friend.
If you don't know me, let's start with an introduction.
I'm Duon Ada and I'm documenting 2025.
