2017,
Goals: January 2017
With growth comes the knowledge that new year resolutions don’t work or maybe I just lack the discipline to follow through. Year in year out I set resolutions that I stick to for about a month and forget about, midway through the year I will remember and feel like crap for not sticking with it.
In the spirit of avoiding self-loathe I came up with a system that will help me stick to my goals. So I am sure you are wondering about my system, here is it; I set monthly goals which I further break down to weekly challenges and I try my best to remain realistic when setting the monthly goals.
I would love for you to come on this journey with me, a few of these goals I will fail at, fingers crossed to see how many but I am sure it will be an interesting journey.
January 2017
- Finish reading ”Soldiers of Fortune”
- Read two new books
- Work on my ”Prayer Wall for 2017”; I realised a few years ago that you have to be deliberate with your Christian walk make an effort, work on your end of your relationship with God. There is nothing fancy about the ”Prayer Wall”, I just stick a piece of cardboard on a wall in my room write my prayer point on sticky notes and place them on it.
- Work on my ”Promise Jar”; this is a new exercise I plan to write out Bible text and put them in a glass jar so I can pick out one every morning and run with the text for the rest of the day.
- Explore new music, I believe it is about time I expand my playlist
- Plan a worship service.
So come on this adventure with me, I know it doesn’t seem like much but I am pretty excited about everything on the list.
A Sunday In December
One of the exciting things I have got involved with this year is ‘’LifeGivaDotCom’’. It has challenged me to write about my relationship with God which is something I always wanted to do but was afraid to.
They have given me the opportunity to try new things and stretch myself.
Anytime I visit ‘’LifeGiva House’’ we have the best conversations and take amazing photos. So enjoy photos from a Sunday in December

This is a list of things to do and work on, before my next birthday.
I made a list around this time last year 24 and I did a few things on that list, it felt so good to check the items off one after the other. I thought Ore why not make another list so here goes;
1. Dye my hair – I have wanted to do this for the longest time and I need to put myself on a timeline to ‘’maybe’’ get it done.
2. Travel with Miss Olaolawa (my younger sister) – We have talked about taking a sister trip for a while and also sharing an apartment. The latter will have to wait but we will definitely be taking out sister trip very soon.
3. Learn to Bake – From cookies to brownie, nice sugary treats
4. Go Vegan for a month – I tried it this year and it was an epic fail, we all know I love chicken too much, but I refuse to stop trying.
5. Climb to the top of Olumo Rock – I went once with my family ‘’Mr Abidoye’’ didn’t let us climb the rock. The plan is to visit without him.
6. Write more letters
7. Read a book written by Teju Cole
8. Wear my hair out more often – I hate making my hair so why not let the afro breath and see the sun.
9. Read more memoirs – Because you find light for your present and future in the stories of others past.
10. Read more books about Nigeria
11. Start a bookclub dedicated to studying Nigerian history.
12. Write every day even if is just a paragraph
13. Take more photographs.
14. Do a better job at keeping in touch with my family and friends.
15. Text more – I hate texting and I have realised that to keep in touch with people I have to learn to enjoy it.
16. Attend an art festival.
17. Pray more – because with prayer comes peace.
18. Study my bible – because there are a lot of things to learn about God.
19. Sing and not care about my horrible voice – I don’t have the best singing voice so I shy away from singing in public
20. Go out more and not just to the movies
21. Watch less serial programs – my roaster is so full at the moment it isn’t healthy for productivity.
22. Learn to play the guitar – I used to have basic skills of playing the piano but I didn’t pay attention and nature the skill. I am older and wiser so I am picking an instrument I think I love and I might enjoy learning to play.
23. Learn to swim – the skill may come in handy one day so why not.
24. Finish writing my collection of short stories – I have spent the last two years working on it and it is time I finish
25. Post weekly on ‘’THE OVER THINKER’’
