Its December 2017\u2026. Christmas is here, just like that. My favorite holiday and especially that of my kids too.<\/p>\n
Reflecting back at the year 2017, I am smiling from chin-to-chin or should I say face-to-face. In 2017, I took enormous risk in almost every aspect of my life. This year, I walked by FAITH and not by SIGHT.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Prior to the beginning of a New Year, I always have a list of things that I plan to achieve in the upcoming – New Year. In the 2017 list, I stretched myself and my FAITH in God. So, few nights ago I was reading my journal on my \u201c2017 to-do-list\u201d (written sometime in November\/December 2016) and I screamed out loud as I achieved close to 95% of my 2017 set target\/goals. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong\u2026. This took enormous hard work and sacrifice. Lots of \u201cno sleep\u201d\u2026. \u201cno personal life\u201d\u2026. \u201cminimal time spent with my family\u201d\u2026..etc etc etc. But I have absolutely no regrets. The year – 2017 was all about building my future \u2013 my career and ultimately my personal brand.<\/em><\/p>\n On December 15th, 2017 \u2013 I took my last exams in the Imperial College Global Online MBA program. I am so grateful to God for the opportunity to be enrolled in such a prestigious academic institution. It\u2019s amazing how just a little FAITH can propel you into greater heights in life. In just a few weeks, I will commence my 2nd\/Final year in Business School and I have almost concluded my \u2018\u20192018 stretched\u2019\u2019 goals for the New Year. I am taking electives that will take me out of my comfort zone and stretch my mind beyond any form of limits. I am so excited about the New Year\u2026\u2026 2017 was an amazing year BUT, I tell you 2018 will be the year to top-up all years and it just gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.<\/p>\n To my family and friends who has remained supportive in my quest to building a strong career and personal brand \u2013 THANK YOU. To my amazing kids especially, you both inspire me to push boundaries and keep stretching until I reach and acquire. I love you both so much with all of my heart.<\/p>\n To the creator of the universe – GOD, thank you for your GRACE<\/strong> <\/span>as it has been more than sufficient for me to move all the way.<\/p>\n Watch this space for more to come in 2018\u2026\u2026\u2026 (I promise to post more often in 2018)..<\/p>\n Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Its December 2017\u2026.
