Posted by Anonymous on 2014/12/24 under Uncategorized I know the year isn’t over, but i feel its important to have a reflection on the year I had. 2014 in certain respects was good , however it was not one of my better years in terms of moving forward. I became a bit complacent, I rested on my laurels and i thought i was already in a good place to succeed. Hubris got the best of me and transformed me into a lazy and apathetic person. It turned me against my family especially my brother. Hubris didn’t tell me I should challenge myself. It gave me the illusion that I already made it even though i was no where near the end of the tunnel. Destiny showed me that this attitude is not acceptable and it gave me a good wake-up call. It showed what the consequences of not keeping on your toes are. It demonstrated what the repercussion of failure could look like . In my case my Girlfriend dropped me like a bad habit. My dreams of becoming a Lawyer was put on hold. I lost my parents trust, especially my fathers who had so much faith in me . I was pre-maturely forced to leave the country and start from a fresh. 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’ve 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 know now whatever endeavour i partake in I must give it nothing but my absolute best. I vow to myself that 2015 will be a year 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 read this thank you for your time.
