I woke up at 3 am yesterday being the first day of July with so much running through my heart. I have never felt this way for a long time nor have I woken up that early hour, and it seems to me that it is a sign that the new month has something special that needs me to start taking action immediately to make the new month better than the previous. It also signal a wake-up call for me to set the right goals for the new month and start as early as possible towards achieving them.
So much happened to me last month, to the extent that I thought I wouldn't be able to survive the intensity of the battles, but here I am, all cleared and set for the challenges of the new month.
June has been my best month, it's the month of my birth, and a month where I have experienced so many good things. However, this year June was different with almost everything I did going the wrong way. It was as though I was being controlled by a remote to fall in error in everything I did. But right in the middle of those errors, a ray of light came seeing me across to the new month.
A lot of things went wrong with me in the month of June that I hope to be able to correct this July, I made mistakes, terrible mistakes in my investment that saw me losing a lot of money. I put my hands on so many things at the same time that it makes me lose focus on what's important. I allowed my greed to have the better of me thereby plowing me into losing valuable assets.
Moreover, I also didn't do well in my content writing, everything was a disaster until the last few days of the month of June when I was able to come out of the confusion and shake away the feeling of failure.
Nevertheless, the new month came with a new hope for me, and a new template to correct all the mistakes of last month, undo and redo with a determination to right the wrong and recover from all the losses of the past month.
To begin with, there's a need for me to have a clear perspective with clear and smart goals for the new month to achieve my mission, which is basically a mission of recovery. A roadmap for the month would be a great guide to control my behaviors and actions in all I do this term.
Firstly, I must learn to let go of the past, unburden myself and enhance the quality of my activities this month. The past must be buried completely and forgotten. The past is like a waste paper, while the present is a newspaper, and the future is a question paper. I need to come out of everything in the past to take control of what the present has and secure the future I dream of.
The eyes weren't placed in the front by chance, it's positioned to enable us to look ahead rather than looking backward. Bad situations give us only three choices, either we choose to let them define us, let them destroy us, or we let them strengthen us. I think the last will be my choice, for it has enabled me to learn from the experience of last month and move on.
Finance is a tool that shapes our world and enhances our happiness. This will be the first area that I need to recover quickly and hence I must be guided against being desperate which can lead to more catastrophes and sink me deeper in misery. I must learn to choose where I put my hands for money this month to avoid pitfalls.
I know the importance of not putting all one's eggs in one basket. Careful Investment, therefore, becomes a priority for achieving financial goals this month. Besides content writing and my regular business, I must carefully seek investment options to put some money in, especially within the Hive ecosystem.
Crypto investment may be risky, but on Hive the risks seem to be minimal. Expectations play a role in making decisions for investment, but one thing to keep in mind is that honesty is a very expressive gift and you can't ever expect it to be cheap from anyone.
In my content writing, I hope to improve on my engagement and interactions with others. This is one area that I failed in the previous month, and you know what that means - Low engagement on my posts. I must strive harder this month to improve on my engagement, build more connections for a better Hive experience in the month of July.
Avoiding mistakes this month is a priority since most of the things that happened to me in the previous month were as a result of the mistakes I made. When we were young we used a pencil for writing but as adults we use a pen. The lesson is that mistakes of childhood can easily be erased or forgiven but for adults it's hard. So I must be cautious and avoid regrettable mistakes in the month of July.
To anyone else who experienced a tough time in the month of June, let this post serve as a hope for recovery for you, and know that your best days are in your future not in your past.
