2025 started in a swift. I still remember dancing and screaming "Happy New Year" in church at exactly midnight (12 am). I was really happy that day. I already wrote my plans, things I wanted to achieve this year, my resolutions, and many more. It's not a surprise that the first quarter of the year is over, but I can tell you this: it came swiftly, and I wasn't expecting this.

***Has the year been good to me?***
Yes, the year has been good to me. Although there were some economic changes that happened in January and February that shook me. In January, after the hype that we were entering into the year of the bull run, I started buying lots of crypto assets. I did my research and I made so much profit in January but everything turned sour in the later days of February after the announcement that President Donald Trump was announcing his meme coin. 

I bought the coin and made some profit, hoping that when he becomes the president, other coins will go to their ATH. Well, after he became president, I lost a lot of money due to the market crash. I did not die; I am still alive and kicking, because where there is life, there is hope.

***Is 2025 all I hoped it would be?***
The truth is, I hoped for a lot of things, and yeah, we are still in the first quarter, and I believe there is a process to things. For the first quarter, not everything I hoped for has happened, but even things I never thought of hoping for have already happened. I still don't like the position I am currently in, hoping for a better place and working towards it.

***How far have I gone concerning my plans?***
I am working towards it; the best we can do is plan and work towards it, hoping every effort you make becomes fruitful. 

I started a course this year, and it's going well. I plan to pay for another, and this is regarding the field I am working in. I started working with a new team, and the role I was given was a very important role, which requires me to improve myself. 

I haven't made any changes to my plans; instead, I have added to them. Some things didn't cross my mind at the beginning of the year, but as the year unfolds, I understand that things can't be done the same way if one wants to succeed. 

Some of the changes I made were changes of environment, which were paramount if I wanted to improve myself. I started building a new network of people and engaging more with people in my field of work, and yeah, there has been improvement so far. With time, I hope to get better and go beyond where I find myself now.
