Documenting 2025

It's day 231 of documenting 2025. What a day! 😏 I spent most of the afternoon sleeping, not even knowing how tired I was. Now, I'm awake by 5:45pm, just typing today's post. No matter, the streak is still alive 🔥  I realized something....after thinking that I should promote the posts here more often. I realized two things actually, First is, when you've disconnected from certain people, expect them to not care anymore about what you do. Second is, sometimes you just have to prove to yourself that you can keep going even if nothing's working. Yesterday, I saw a post on X from Russell Brunson, one of the world's most efficient online marketers. And in his post he said and I quote, "Sometimes, entrepreneurship asks if you're willing to continue even when nothing is working". My reply to the post went along the lines of, "If the answer is yes, then you're fit for entrepreneurship. And if the answer is no, maybe you're to try something el...

It's day 230 of documenting 2025. Another day in the life... Another week of lessons to learn. A new Monday 😌 Is it me or is August going by very fast? It's the 18th now...and very soon, we'll be wishing ourselves a happy new month. I think August is going by very fast. And in the next few posts, I'll reveal something HUGE. So, watch out for it.... Anyways, I had a chat with my friendly psychologist. (Basically my AI assistant with a personality 😁) It was about friendship....in a different dimension. Speaking about friends, I went to visit Dora, a friend of mine...as today's her birthday. It was nice spending time with her, just talking about....stuff. I'll share the chat I had with AI....after we go through the highlights for today. Let's get into it! 365 Days With Self-discipline  📌 On Laser-Focusing on Specific Aspects "Franklin identified the aspects of his performance that needed to be improved and found a way to stretch himself, the essential c...

It's day 229 of documenting 2025. It's a sunny Sunday over here. A little windy but it's fine. And it's 2:07pm as I type this. Normally, I would already be planning how my week would go, as well as the tasks I need to complete. However, I put out a tweet on X this morning and I stated the fact that things won't always go the way we plan them. We should just focus on living today instead of worrying about tomorrow. That, I vibe with. Infact, that's how I've been able to keep writing on this blog, every single day. I just write for today....like I'm doing now. And one thing occurred to me few moments ago. The things is: if I write something worth sharing, I should share it, not make it sit there. So, I'm only on X now...but it wasn't always that way. At the beginning of this year, I was on Instagram, Threads, and Facebook. After a few months, I dropped Threads and IG...to focus on Facebook. I opened my X account in May, but stopped when it became m...

It's day 228 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, dear reader ☺️ If you're just reading this post for the first time, you may be wondering...what's the line above? Well, it's me counting down the days to 2026....and building my 365-day writing streak. I want to start this post with this: "When you understand the mechanics of your weakness, you can rewire it into a strength." The keyword, REWIRE. I realize just now...that our brain is basically a big supercomputer. Bad wiring leads to bad system processing. That is, bad patterns lead to bad character or behavior. The same goes for the good. And it all comes down to how we think...as well as our habits. When you become self-aware of the patterns of your weakness (what triggers it), you can replace a factor or two and transform it into something that makes you stand out.  It sounds simple, right? And it is. You can just start by writing with a pen on paper ✍🏼 Write all about your weakness. If it's a habit, wr...

It's day 227 of documenting 2025. It's a Friday....and I'm typing late. Yep! Didn't write today's post on time, because it's 10:25pm right now...barely two hours before the next day. And I was kinda discouraged because I hadn't seen any views on the former blog posts before this one. At some point, I thought  "What's the use? No one's reading anyway!" But here I am....writing through the twisted mind of mine that got me to not type early in the first place. So much for using myself as a test subject....😒 I'm going through today's usual section, and I'll share a poem like I promised yesterday. Alright, let's get it over with... 365 Days With Self-discipline  📌 On Being Stuck in the Past "People are all over the world telling their one dramatic story and how their life has turned into getting over this one event. Now their lives are more about the past than their future." Quote by Chuck Palahniuk If you’re using a...

It's day 226 of documenting 2025. Mid-week vibes 😎 What better way than a windy, not-so-hot afternoon and light at home? Yeah....can't complain about that. I watched a video yesterday, about how God sees us. Which in most cases, is very different from how we see ourselves. There are a few points that he made...that I should mention. If you're still here, God is not yet done with you. You have a unique purpose that can only be done by you....an assignment from God himself. No matter what has happened in your life or how bad you think you have messed up, there's still hope for you. And all these are true. But sometimes, our thoughts...or even the people we know make us think otherwise with what they say. It's always up to us to embrace our true identity by ignoring what everyone else says and living according to what God says. Just felt like I should start with that... On my end it's all good. I'm still waiting on that admission, and word is o...

It's day 225 of documenting 2025. Today, I decided to download a flashcard app. I've heard of flashcards before....as well as the act of recall, and I'm currently studying a bit about the brain. I just want to actually know about this nuggin on my shoulders....as well as how it influences our actions. Remembering all about it can be a bit difficult, because I'm prone to forgetting things easily. Downloading the app is definitely a good move, as I'll be able to tap into my long term memory. Someone I watch a lot on YouTube, Myron Golden, said something in one of his videos that stood out. He said, "you don't have a bad memory...you just have a bad system of recall". So, that may be true for me...and I'm willing to give my memory a chance. I got particularly curious about how effective flashcards can be....and I had a little chat with ChatGPT. I'll share the chat after today's highlights. 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Foll...

It's day 224 of documenting 2025. The pain of regret. A common term and opposite to the pain of discipline. Sometimes, we need to feel the pain of regret to fuel our desire to overcome it with the resolve to do better. Just wanted to start on that note. Something happened yesterday that made me feel regret. I wasted time and felt guilty afterwards. But I didn't dwell on that. I returned and resolved to do better. Now you know why I started with that 😌  Today is going great....it's sunny and bright at least. Something to be grateful for. I got some news about the admission update of my school. Turns out, admission is going to be processed by the end of the month. Anticipation! I'm just living out the days....and working on myself. Focus, discipline, emotional mastery...and all that root work. I call it root work because nobody sees what's going on, but it will surely reflect later on...when the hard times come. Well, that's all about my life updates. Let's m...

It's day 223 of documenting 2025. Another Monday, in another week... And we're getting closer to the end of this month... Eventually, the end of this year. Time flies 😌 Our Monday Meditations are in order...as I'll share some lessons in a bit. But I think I haven't mentioned this: I reopened my X account. Okay to be specific, I came back to X on Friday last week...and so far, I have 3 followers now. Hasn't even been a week yet! Why am I sharing this? Point is, I opened my X account in May, but I was quickly overwhelmed because of the other online engagements I had then. And I didn't have the level of clarity on what I want to do...like I have now. 3 months away? Not so bad 🙂 I'm not clamoring for followers this time....or chasing visibility. I'm just sharing what I need to, in my quiet little corner...no need for me to scream into the ocean of X. My people will find me. By the way, if you would like to check out my profile, here it is: Duon Ada on X Th...
