Who would have thought…..
YOU were able to survive a WHOLE pandemic even in the university deadlines, family stress and life just doing life!!
YOU have done it. YOU made it to 2022!!!
Now.
We know.
2021 was hard. In fact here at Bold Future it was more challenging than you can imagine. University had us ALL in a chokehold!! And let's not even start with this Miss Rona that has overstayed her welcome.....
But one thing we will say is that 2021 was all about preparation for us. Whether that is preparation in character, spirituality or even just work… 2021 really challenged a lot of us and we just Thank God that you made it!!
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2022 is here and you have probably already made your vision board. Laying out EVERYTHING you would love to do this year. Maybe graduate with a first class or even get that dream car! Whatever it is, we are hoping you are able to achieve that and more.
BUTTT this year we want to give some tips on how to make 2022 and a FULFILLING year not just materialistically but emotionally, spiritually, mentally and characteristically (if that English is correct sha.)
1. REST!
It's only been a month into this 2022 and you want to be a 1st class graduate TODAY!? Com’on miss mam. You know the drill by now… repeat after me …
GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME.
Once again GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME.
We need you to rest this year. Stop trying to rush a process that needs time to build, time to cultivate and grow.
"You can’t make stew by just chopping your ingredients alone. It needs time to cook. " - Deborah C.
So when you are TIRED. Sleep. When you feel burnout. Don’t just go for a walk …. Because we all know that England gives us 5 days of sun.. instead delight in what you actually love to do. Whether that is watching your favourite show, playing your favourite song or even reading your favourite book!
We encourage you to rest this season. Because you can only give from a jar that is full. And unless you have the energy and revived strength you won’t be able to pour out unto others.
2. BE HER don’t just BECOME HER
Now shoutout to ToMySister Podcast. These awesome ladies describe how there is a romanticised version of being THAT amazing woman.
One that wakes up at 5am, does a 5km run . By 6:30am she would have read 7 books and completed her dissertation! I mean let's be realistic, whilst there are some that have an immaculate morning routine, this does not define whether you are the IT GIRL everyone says you are.
In fact, what if in order to BECOME her, we must realise that WE ARE HER. We are a unique and distinct person who is growing into being the best version of HERSELF. Not another woman but HERSELF.
At Bold Future, we know discipline is important and sometimes even necessary to unlock our true potential. We also know that growth is what you make it. If that means you are applying for that role that seemed scary to you at first, that is you BECOMING HER. If that means apologising to that family member that you disappointed last week. That is you becoming her.. We want for your character to grow. As one character grows, so does her mindset and vision mature.
3. DO YOU
We want you to TAKE RISKS.
We never said quit your 9-5 when you have bills to pay please!!! BUT what we are saying is do things this year that your future self would be proud of.
Practically what does this look like?
Well let's start off with creating that YouTube channel you have wanted to start since year 10! I mean there are loads of things that you have wanted to do but have been scared to do. Listen....
Perfectionism prevents pursuit!
You need to start!
Because regret is more painful than failure.
So lets start this 2022 right.
