In the words of my mentor, I got you a New Year's Hamper🎁

My God! 2022 is here already!

Hi you and welcome to 2022🤸🏽‍🎉💃🏽🎊

I'm so glad that New Year's Day falls on a Saturday because I get to talk with you. How are you? I'm serious though. Can you describe your mood? Excited, Nervous, Joyful? If I were to pick, it would probably be joyful anticipation; for all that God is going to do this year. It will be hooooge. What expectations do you have for 2022?

Today, I wanted to briefly share a few things that I will be doing to aid my 2022.

1: Pray

This one! Being connected to God allows us to see in more dimensions than when we don't, it's like being equipped to play 4 dimensional chess. The world will continuously be flabbergasted by you.

2: Set systems and structures

I was going to write a goals themed post but the truth is no matter how simple or complex or goals are, if they are not broken down, they will not be achieved. Do you want to read more? (You know because readers are leaders) then get yourself a partner to whom you'll be excited to share the happenings of Chapter 5. And choose wisely. If possible, someone who is slightly ahead of the game. Start researching books and SAVE for them. This one always gets me. I'm motivated until I see $13.99 then that's the end. Some books cost money and that's ok. If authors didn't get paid, there wouldn't be any books, so get ready to pay for value.

3: Invest (massively)

Are you ready to sacrifice? Time, money, maybe even reputation. Whether it's in yourself or in ventures, try to have something going personally and financially. It's not too early and not too late. Do you want to learn a skill or a language? Learn how to code? Do you want to own your house by 25? Get started. There are many resources out there but if you don't know where to start, just ask. The comments section and my inbox are always open. I want to be hearing immense testimonies this year. Let there be CEOs, authors, journalists, programmers, acclaimed changemakers that will shake the world. Let this be your year of activation!

4: Find your calling

And no, I'm not asking you to start praying and fasting, except Holy Spirit says so then Godspeed. If you know what your life assignment is, awesome! But if you're still waiting, pick something that will make you get up in the morning. I attended a conference by one of my mentors, DDK, where she said "desires, especially the ones that are from your heart, the core of your stomach (you know what I'm talking about) are hints from God towards your purpose and the passport to your future. You don't have to wait for a audible voice from heaven. What can't you get out of your mind? Start with that.

5: Ze Peoplez! (Just imagine me saying this in the most French accent you've ever heard)

I use Otedola's money to beg you. These are je ne sais quois of your destiny. Have you heard the saying 'show me your friend and I'll show you who you are'? Or 'you're the average of the 5 closest people in your life'? Friends will influence your mindset so choose wisely. When Saul is amongst the prophets, he will prophesy so surround yourself with the best digitally and mentally if not possible physically. This was one of my top 2020 prayer points. In 2021, God was like, "Hold my robe." Friendships, acquaintances, mentors, everywhere. And most were through virtual platforms.

And now for the resources,

Peace and Love,

Kami.
