A few hours till the year ends and I’m already thinking about how good I want the new year to go.

Now I am Looking forward to the future with hopes of it being a good one and with that being said, I have a list of goals that I plan to achieve in my quest to develop and be a better person in a year’s time

> As David Kekich said, “life is easy when you live it the hard way…..…… and hard if you try to live it the easy way”. 

In 2023 I want to challenge myself to do the things that I have always wanted to do but mostly find excuses to not do them or not do them out of laziness.
I prefer to live life the hard way if it means I get to be a better person.

> ### My personal development goals for 2023.

> Prioritise my health. 

I haven’t really paid much attention to my health the past year and I think I’m going to have to pay very much attention to that next year. 
For my physical health, I plan to eat healthy and on time. Exercise every now and then and also keep hydrated.

For my mental health, I will try my best not to overthink stuff and also avoid stressing myself out.

> Managing my finances. 

In doing this, I plan to avoid spending on stuff that are not necessary. I also intend to save more and desist from giving out money to people who would fail to return it.

> Improve my grades. 

As I’m heading to my final year in the university I need to do better because as we move to a higher level things become tougher so I need to step up my game and bag this degree.

> Read more and wide. 

Reading has always been my hobby but over the last few years my reading has reduced drastically. Maybe it is as a result of my busy schedule. This is not an excuse but the truth:)

I intend to do better in 2023 so I plan to devote at least an hour or more everyday to reading because there’s more knowledge in reading than you can imagine. 
The strongest thing a man can have is his brain so I need to feed mine with knowledge as I will and do need that.


> Give to the society in my own little way.

Most people out there do not have the opportunities and resources most of us have even though we sometimes do not realise that. There are people out there young and old who need a helping hand in one way or the other. I believe there’s blessing in giving and helping those in need so I plan to give out to the society in my own little way and I know it will go a long way to help them. 

> Learn a skill.

I have learnt a few skills here and there and I can boldly say that I am glad I took that step. There’s one thing I have always wanted to learn which is coding. I developed an interest in IT related stuff some years ago so I decided  to pursue a course in coding yet I couldn’t. I will make a point to pursue that course to broaden my knowledge.

> ### My Hive goals for 2023.

I was introduced to hive 5 months ago and I I’m glad I joined this platform. 
I wouldn’t say I know my way around very much as I’m still learning. This year I plan to learn more and know more and also achieve the following in the process 

> Be consistent and engage. 

I haven’t been very consistent on hive over the past few months due to some personal issue which I wouldn’t want to use as an excuse so I will be more consistent and engage more as I enjoy being here and learning every single minute. 

>  Grow my following.

I currently have 29 followers and I have been able to achieve this through my engagement which hasn’t been really consistent . I strongly believe that if I am consistent and engage with more people I would be able to increase my followers to about 100 by the end of the year .

> Reputation and Hive power.

I believe that through constant engagement and interaction on the platform I would be able to build my reputation to 70 by the end of the year and also acquire a hive power of 900HP through constant powering up. 

> Exploring and making good use of the communities.

I learn of a new community everyday and I always wonder why and how I hadn’t heard of it before. I realised I wasn’t exploring other communities as I always stick to a few of them based on what I post. I will make it a point to make use of all the communities available as I go about my daily activities and come into contact with various stuff. 

Being on hive has exposed me to a lot and I have met very great people here. These are my hive goals for the year 2023. 

I hope to achieve all of this through hardwork and discipline.

> I believe that if a person wants to reach his full potential he or she can’t avoid discomfort. Doing things that might not be entirely pleasant is the key to achieving long-term objectives.


I wish you all a Happy new year!🥳🎊🎉🥂
