Posted by Anonymous on 2014/12/24 under Uncategorized As the year of 2014 comes to a close, I want to use this opportunity to give a reflection on my year. 2014 in certain parts was a good year, however being honest with myself it was not a great year in terms of moving forward. I grew to complacent, I rested on my laurels. I let hubris get the best of me. Hubris turned me into a lazy and apathetic person. It gave the illusion that i have already succeeded even though i was no where near the end of the tunnel. It turned me against my family especially my brother who wanted nothing but help me out. As a result of my hubris, I made huge mistakes during the year which were very costly. As a result I lost sight of my goals. My girlfriend dropped me like a bad habit. I lost the trust of my parents especially my father who had nothing but absolute faith in me . My dreams of becoming a lawyer were put on hold and I had to pre-maturely leave the country to make the best out of a bad situation. This move also provided me with a new beginning. The first few months were hell on earth, I was in a dark place, and I had to stand the trials and tribulations of the country constantly questioning whether I have got what it takes anymore. I had to adapt, grow stronger and just accept this is my life for now. Once i accepted my mistakes things began to get good again and I hope i have become wiser for my errors. As the year closes I know what is required of me to turn my fortunes around and make 2015 one of the best years if not the best year of my life. I now know whatever endeavour I partake in I must give it nothing but my absolute best. I vow to myself that 2015 will be a year to grab by the balls and make it my own. 2015 shows potential but i must remember potential is just an ideal of what can be and not the actual expression of what is. Anyone that has read this thank you very much for your time and I hope you have a stellar 2015.
