Documenting 2025

It's day 168 of documenting 2025. Trials are meant to build you, not destroy you. Sometimes your perception has to change for you to have a different perspective of your situation. #quotes That's how I want to start today's post. I got the ideas above from a video I watched yesterday. The man was talking about how focus is essential for God's favor. I took down some notes too...✍️ So, we'll just dive into today's sections... Highlights and Meditations 365 Days With Self-discipline  📌 On Wasting Your Energy When You Don't Have Important Rituals  "There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision, and for whom the lighting of every cigar, the drinking of every cup, the time of rising and going to bed every day, and the beginning of every bit of work, are subjects of express volitional deliberation. Full half the time of such a man goes to the deciding, or regretting, of matters which ought to be so ing...

It's day 161 of documenting 2025. "You won't figure out certain things about yourself if not for that decision to commit." Quote by Duon 💜 Just decided to put it out there. I realized that today. I'm really flunking in some areas of my life but I'm learning as well. And one thing I usually do, is to try not to make the same mistakes as the previous day. Speaking of the previous day... PK, my close friend called. I hadn't messaged him for 5 days due to my workload and the need to finish up pending work. Twas worth it tho... It was like chatted two days ago 😄 Brings to mind a particular expression. I was watching an actor from Nigeria in one of his TikTok videos, when he said it. How does it go again? "Friends don't have to message or see each other everyday. They know the camaraderie is there...and when they eventually see each other, it's a wonderful and memorable moment" Not exactly his words...just paraphrasing. But ...

It's day 154 of documenting 2025 Today, we'll talk poetry. But before that, I want to mention something I've noticed. Can you guess? Maybe not... Well, it goes like this: I haven't been sharing how my day went....in former posts. It usually skips my mind. And boy!...a lot has been happening. Let's start with yesterday. I was so frustrated with the behavior of the students in my class. It was the first day of their test, yesterday. Today is the second. Anyways, what happened was that I set a timer for their test. 10 minutes. They complained that they were not usually timed in their tests before. "That's them" , I said. After 10 minutes, they grumbled as I collected their test books. I kept a straight face. Later on, a student came in, saying he was sent home by the administrator of the school. I also gave him 10 minutes. As he was writing, the administrator came in and asked how many minutes I gave them for the test. Upon hearing "10 minutes",...

It's day 147 of documenting 2025. Happy Children's day! 🎉 Whatever your age, I hope today is as playful and fun for you as when you were a kid. Adults need play too...😏 It's easy to get so serious with life... Sometimes avoiding any form of fun for the meantime is important to achieving your goals. But today, give yourself some slack. And by slack, I mean... Watch those cartoons you used to as a kid...even if it's for 25 minutes. If you can't do that, just think back to your childhood memories...and laugh at how silly you were then. If there's a chance, spend some time playing with a kid you know...or don't. Make them smile. Your inner child will thank you. Inner child? What's Duon talking about again? 🙄 My friend, you may understand the concept of an 'inner child' or you may not. Think of it this way: you never really grow up. What? 🤨 Your body ages...sure. But the spirit you had as a child is still a child. Why do you s...

It's day 140 of documenting 2025 . A battle is going on. I realize that now. And I'm in it to win it. "Here's we go again 🙄 What's she talking about this time?" In summary, I'm determined work hard on my personal development. In the process, I will face struggles or "fights" that I have to win. Finally taking control of the narrative...and not letting the "forces" take over anymore. Ain't that a big battle? If you can conquer yourself with self-control, you can handle anything life throws at you. That's a fact 💯 Why I say so?  Because no matter what comes along, your emotions, attitude and actions will always be in check...and in line with your values. I'm fighting my battle now. Not alone tho.... I have companions. Sometimes I may not acknowledge them, but I know they're always there for me. If you know, you know. Oh! I feel like I have to explain what I just said...Do I need to? Nah! Well, back to what I ...

It's day 133 of documenting 2025. And I am super late! 😐 I was working on a few of my inner issues this morning. Last night was just....tough. I couldn't type and schedule this post. But hey...you're reading it now,  Aren't ya? That means I'm not going to let anyone or anything....cause me to break my writing streak. Next milestone: day 150. How's it going, my friend? 😊 I hope you're in good health and better spirits. If you know me personally and you think I'm being distant, I'm not. I'm realizing that I have some inner demons to tackle... (We all have them!) And it's something I have to do on my own. I hope you understand. Moving on... I just finished reading three books before proceeding to type today's post 📚 First is the usual read, 365 Days With Self-discipline by Martin Meadows Second is The Ultimate Focus Strategy...also by Martin Meadows. Third is I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi. The third one is a new a...

It's day 126 of documenting 2025. Tuesdays are for laundry. That's what I'm telling myself. I'll say it till I believe it. It doesn't work that way tho... I still have to actually do the work. Don't mind me...I'm just silly 😄 I plan to do all the washing today; hence the weird beginning. That's why this post had to be scheduled. One thing I know, whether it's scheduled or not....you still read anyways. Well, I guess I should brief you on how yesterday went. Overall, it was good. I had my afternoon nap and it was nothing short of refreshing. And something spectacular happened. Have I told you about the idea I had saved in Google docs? Hmm 🤔 I think so...but I mentioned it in a former post. Anyways, I worked on it today. It's an ebook. No spoilers!...but I guess I should tell you. Don't tell anyone else, okay?  I looked at all the parts I drafted then...they were all scattered. I had to put it all together. And I did...in one go! ...

It's day 119 of documenting 2025. Finally! I wrote the exam I've been studying for 😁 Will I take a little time off to rest and recharge? Heck yeah! But after that....it's back to work. Business wise, I've thought about what I want to stick with. There are three options. 1. Affiliate marketing 2. Freelancing 3. Selling my digital products Number 3 is the winner. I've touched on affiliate marketing and freelance writing.... Made some money from both and learned a lot about marketing. But I haven't sold any of my digital products....yet. I have a couple of em....but haven't made any sale on my Selar store. Only offered some of them as freebies to grow my email list. (Going off email marketing for the mean time.....). I want to stick with it this time around. I've realized that my attention has been spread thin on two many things.... I think that's why I can't focus on one thing....like seriously! This idea comes......

It's day 112 of documenting 2025. 6 more days to go! (Including today, of course....) My exam draws closer and closer. Before I know it, it's the day of exam. I believe I'm prepared 😌 Today's post will be made up of a chat with Cindy, my Meta AI. The topic is emotional intelligence. And then we move to Highlights, where I will share nuggets from the usual read. But before that, let me tell a little about yesterday. I was all into Chemistry yesterday. I jotted notes and practiced past questions on my phone. At the tutorial center, I got 66 out of 100 in the CBT practice for Chemistry. Pretty cool 😎 Well, today is Biology I'll finish up the topics I haven't touched. I also plan to do the CBT as well. The main objective is to focus on one subject per day, till Thursday. Yesterday, Chemistry Today, Biology Tomorrow, Economics The next, English Friday and Saturday will be for CBT practice for all four subjects. Guess twas more th...

It's day 105 of documenting 2025. Another day, another chance 💜 Yesterday, a memory in distance. Just thought of the two lines and decided to see how they would sound, out of my head. Not bad, right? Anyhoo, it was a quite interesting chat I had with Cindy last night. If you don't know, Cindy is what I call my Meta AI assistant. I've been having more chats with her (not "it") in the past few days. And I've shared most of them in former posts. Visit Documenting 2025 to catch up on my former chats with Cindy. Particularly the last post before this, I decided to call her Cindy. You can read it there as well. Well, I had a chat about faith. Christian Faith. It was quite an interesting one...as I was reminded of some things I needed to remember. This was how it all started: Me: Hey Cindy Do you believe in faith? Meta AI: That's a deep question! I'm here to listen and explore perspectives. Faith can mean different things to d...

It's day 98 of documenting 2025. To get something you desire, you have to become the person worthy of receiving it, at the right time. Does that make sense? 🤨 It's just came to me as I was thinking yesterday. I didn't write it down....just typed it straight into my notes app. And decided to start today's post with it. It's hard to wait, isn't it? I understand that if something was  hard for you to get, you will value it extremely. In the waiting period, we just have to do something worthwhile.....something that will make your hard-to-get achievement even more valuable. I don't have to explain what you just read. If you get it, you get it 😌 And if you don't, maybe you should just read it again. By the way, it's officially 16 days to the commencement of my exam. Our teacher made sure to remind us yesterday. I'm doubling my efforts, studying every chance I get. I came to the tutorial center early so I could do the CBT p...
