Documenting 2025

It's day 15 of documenting 2025. Tell me something, Ami When is it right to quit? 🤔 Think about that for a second. Anyways, yesterday was quite eventful.... I chatted with a friend the other day and I really felt better afterwards. I was struggling with how I felt about my passions versus the need to make money. But as we chatted, I realized that I didn't want to do something that I can't be best at. I'm taking a massive leap of faith to chase my passions. Passions I said I wanted to give up in a previous post... (Don't know which one tho...will check) I just want to help people in a way that I'm passionate about. Not for profit only. I'm going to quote from a book by Martin Meadows.  It's called Grit. The same author wrote 365 Days With Self-discipline. (So, it's gonna be good....) It's actually two points from the recap of the first chapter of the book. ✍️ If you’re not willing to do your best but expect extraordinary results, give...

It's day 14 of documenting 2025. And I just finished reading today's note in 365 Days With Self-discipline. It really gave me something to think about. It talked about having a long term focus in relation to our goals. And the fact that challenges arise when we only have short-term objectives. Then I started thinking of my own goals for the year and the new projects I've started. I realized that I may have been looking at them with a short-term view as well. I'll change that. I'm on day 14 of the book, just like this is day 14 of documenting. That's how it goes. I can't publish this post without relaying what happened to me yesterday. One phrase: overwhelmed to tears. Why? (Gosh! can't believe I'm doing this...) I felt scared....I still do. Scared of what I can become. Simply because the beliefs I've been brought up with is clashing with the new beliefs I'm starting to have. And my current environment is not helping me anymore. I ...

It's day 13 of documenting 2025. And it's a brand new day in a brand new week. Time to get on with the hustle 💪 Right, Ami? Speaking of hustle, I managed to schedule all relevant posts last night. Then I put out new copy for the blueprint. Let's see how it goes. One thing that's usually said in copywriting is that,  "It either works or it doesn't". There's no in between. I will just have to tweak and rewrite if it doesn't work. It's a practice....all part of the game. I asked a friend of mine who's a gamer, "how do you master a game?" You know what he told me? These exact words: "Don't stop Spend all night playing and then tomorrow continue  Become addicted to the game" Now I'm thinking 🤔  Is there a good addiction? When most people hear the word "addiction", it rings a bell of negativity. But if I'm correct, addiction is not so different from obsession. It's probably the context t...

It's day 12 of documenting 2025. And I literally have 40 minutes to type this post. The countdown has already begun. I'm sorry, Ami 😐 I don't have any notes to share today. Which means I didn't read the book I usually read every night. (Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins) I could blame a lot of things. We didn't have power and I couldn't charge my phone on time. I fell asleep early and even abandoned my nightly routine. But I count it as a good thing. You know why? I'll tell you. I was supposed to plan my content for this new week yesterday. But I was feeling some kind of resistance. Maybe it's because the strategy wasn't so clear in my mind, Or because I had to take off my braids so I could wash my hair. But then, I went to bed quite early last night because power was absent. This led me wake up by 4am this morning and turn on the flashlight. I thought of the week and all the content I had to schedule....as we...

It's day 11 of documenting 2025. Brrr! 🥶  It's quite cold this morning. Colder than usual. If it's the same where you are, be sure to stay warm. How was your week, Ami? On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate it? Hopefully there were more wins and lessons. Next week will be way better, I assure you. Anyways, I had to stay up late last night.  I had some research to do so, I went YouTube surfing. At first, I watched a random video. Then another. And another. Instantly, I stopped myself. I was like, "hol' up‼️ Rabbithole alert ‼️" Then I focused on what I came there for. I know I could easily use ChatGPT but I wanted to watch specific videos myself, not get a summary. And I got what I came there for....an hour later. Let's get into my notes.... It's something quite interesting, I must say. By the way, I'm reading the book, Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins (who I like to call Tony). I'm on the third chapter called, 'Th...

It's day 10 of documenting 2025. It's a wonderful Friday...and you'll probably be seeing the TGIF theme in your social media feed. How do you usually feel every Friday, Ami? Happy because the week is almost over or sad because..... Hold on...why would anyone be sad because it's Friday? 🤔 I think the word is 'grateful'. Grateful for how the week went so far. Well, something happened yesterday and I felt something I haven't felt in a very long time. And no... it's not a relationship thing. My younger sister got an appointment to work at a school. As a teacher. She came back home after the interview with the good news. Suddenly, I felt jealous. Maybe it's because my CV was still being processed for an appointment.....and no call for interview yet. But I smiled anyway and congratulated her. It wasn't a good feeling at all...but I felt it. Later in the evening, I acknowledged that I was jealous of my sister. I was outside in the cold nigh...

It's day 9 of documenting 2025 And I stayed up until 1:39 am this morning. Doing what? Writing on paper. Before then, I blasted music on my earphones as I wrote down the to-do list for today. "The Greatest" by Sia just seemed so relevant at that moment. Also before then..... I read the last section of a book I'm currently reading. Took down notes....which I will share with you in a moment. Let me just say a thing or two about what writing means to me. Before I got my first smartphone, I was already writing on paper. I still have the notes from 2022. (Call me sentimental 😄) And so far, I can say that writing on paper has saved me from repeating certain mistakes. Yesterday, I thought about the things I was engaged in before digital marketing. Three things in particular: French Language, Poetry, Crochet They have become my passions. But I can't pursue them now...I can just do them occasionally. (PS: Wrote all this down, now I'm jus...

It's day 8 of documenting 2025. And it's a Wednesday feeling like a Saturday (just me saying!) Besides, it's that time of the month for me and I'm handling the cramps like a queen. Hope it's all good where you are, Ami 😊  Can I tell you something? You may have probably noticed it...or not. Here it goes: I don't edit my posts. The posts here, on this blog. I just type on my Gboard which basically makes corrections as I type. There may be no spelling errors. But grammar? Pardon me.... I'm just sharing my thoughts and documenting. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be. I did something I haven't done before.  For the first time in ever, I talked on camera while walking! Huh? 🤨 You may think.... what's she talking about? Let me explain. Last year, I did a lot of experimenting with the three main kinds of content. Written content is kinda my thing.... Not video or audio. And I've thought of starting a YouTube channel and st...

It's day 7 of documenting 2025. I'm typing by 10:25am....quite later than the usual time. This post will still go out today. One question, Ami. Do you usually feel the need to switch up your routine once in a while? Like spicing things up a little? I know I do. Anyways, another book got my attention yesterday. It's called "Be Obsessed Or Be Average" by Grant Cardone. Yeah! That guy! Do you know who he is? He's a successful billionaire...that's what I know. I watch his videos on Instagram.... don't know if I'm following him tho 🤔 Well, I started reading it (or glancing through the chapters...) and it's a good one. Being obsessed, acknowledging that you're obsessed and channeling that obsession into something life-changing. The Ebook version is kinda like a hundred pages or so. In contrast with the one I'm reading, "Awaken The Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins, which is over 400 pages. (I still read ...
