New Year, New Me: Netizens Narrate Plans to Improve Themselves in 2025

Adedamola Rasheedah took a pause and looked back at a well-spent year. She can’t help but feel grateful for the unmerited grace that God bestowed on her. As wonderful as the year had been so far. It has come with its lessons too.

While speaking with Asiwaju media, Rashidah pointed out how procrastination hindered her from getting to some places this New Year and promised herself to bury the (procrastination) spirit.

“I realized my laziness killed some dreams. I need to use my time well next year,” she began. “I will make sure things that truly matter come first in my life in 2025,” she promised.

Pledging to imbibe in time management, the 300-level student of UDUS furthered that the coming year comes with a new dream and she places her “trust in Allah (God).” She vowed to do away with malice and “also manage my anger well,” She ended.

Unlike Adedamola, Sanni Bulus (pseudonym) had a really worn-out year. Being a Freelance journalist, nothing he worked on truly worked for him. Whining over his miserable past, Bulus told Asiwaju Media about restrategizing next year. He said,

“I don’t know what that means but I know I will do it differently. This year was hectic on me, but I am grateful for my life,” he said.

“Above all, I pray I find the right mentors next year who will put me through on the things I am probably doing wrongly.”

Mr Bulus expressed how, despite having compelling stories to tell, he was getting no funding to pursue these human-angle stories.

Do What Works, Do it Right

Meanwhile, Mrs Suleiman Balqees, a business lady who deals in shoes, told Asiwaju media what making new choices entails and how hectic it could be. She pointed out that it involves finding what truly works for one and doing it right.

“As someone in business, I have realized it’s not everything I can sell. I have also discovered what I should sell and what season to sell them,” she explained.

“You see, this also applies to all aspects of life. The strategy is to figure out what will work, since success has no strategy. I will say people’s path to success can never be the same. Just do what works and do it right,”she ascertain
