Congratulations on your incoming convocation, Treasure. I enjoyed reading this so much. I'm particularly struck by your advice on creating magic for ourselves. I think its something we need to be reminded of, that we are in charge of our own happiness for the most part and that sitting around waiting for others to make our lives magical will leave us disappointed (for the most part). So excited for the new year, can't wait to see what's in store for us all
I really, really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Also I need to pin these words somewhere and read them everyday: "However, when you realise that you have as much stake in your work as they do, and that the results you get are yours to celebrate or defend, it fosters a sense of ownership and helps you achieve much better results."
I particularly look forward to reading your letters and this is one of those letters that multiply the signs I've been asking for to make a choice for me. Recently, I came to the realisation that I don't have a multiple talent issue, even though I tend to have many things I like to do in my head, and I'm very sure and know what I'm blessed with as a talent but making a decision/choice for it is where the problem is. Reading from you today about being a lot more happier doing less helps me see better that I'm making the decision for me and that's okay.
During a particularly difficult period for me last year, when nothing was going my way, I came across a quote that read ‘Learn to embrace the plot twists of your life', and boy did that quote set me free?
The paragraph about embracing change and letting it surprise you has a similar effect. And yes, I'm anticipating that novel that you plan on writing.

Thank you, Blessing! Lovely hearing your thoughts always! Let's do something phenomenal with our lives this year.
I am planning to move to Lagos this 2025 and I hope to find the solace you found in your village, in my small cramped self-con.
I pray you do, the magic can be found anywhere, even in small, cramped self-cons in Lagos. Rooting for you!
I really, really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing ❤️

It really does!! So glad I learned that.
