I wish to appreciate@steem4nigeria for organising this contest. This will serve as an appraisal for us to assess our progress and make up our mind to buggle up in achieving our goals. I will be talking about my first half of the year and I hope you will stay with me till the end.

At the beginning of this year I had so many goals and plans with so much hopes to achieve it. The year had been a tough one and in the first half of the year I could not really achieve much as planned, but I have made some progress. I have been limited by so many things in achieving my goals. Starting from the poor economy in Nigeria, lost of my Facebook password which limited me from completing my online digital marketing course.

Below are the things I have been able to achieve in the first half of the year physically:

Official Change of Name at the National Identification Management Commission NIMC:

Many people would wonder how this could be considered as an achievement. For me it's a great achievement because of the plans I have in relocating from my country to the Europe with my family. When I went to renew my international passport last year I was directed to effect my change of name with NIMC before proceeding to renew my International passport. I was also advised to register my daughter at the NIMC though the attempt to register her was not successful as she was agitated during the capturing. I hope to take her back for the capturing in August when she must have been 2 years old.

Recovery of my Official Facebook Account:

I enrolled on a digital marketing course in December, 2022 and in February 2023 when I was about completing a project on Social Media Management course I could not access my official Facebook account I was supposed to use in completing my project as I couldn't not remember my password. All efforts used in recovering my password was abortive. I created a new Facebook account and I was restricted from creating business page for advertisement. This singular incident restricted from completing the course so as to secure a job that could enable me achieve my goals. Just last month I was able to change my password and I have already began working on my project to completing the course and I hope to complete the course before or by the end of this month.

Here are the things I have been able to achieve in the first half of the year virtually:

Reaching 531 Steem power on the Steem platform:

I have been able to be active in the Steem platform and as a result I have been able to have only 531 Steem power. This is not much as I expected but I'm grateful to God that at least I have been able to achieve this.

I have not really achieved much this half of the year as I had so much limitations. I hope to use the remaining half of the year in meeting up with my goals by the grace of God

With God all things are possible. I believe I can meet my target for the year. I have learned that consistency and positive attitude is the way out of every challenges in life. Life is full of limitations and challenges. I believe that my ability to identify my challenges and limitations in achieving my goals will help me come up with the possible solutions and think my way out of those challenges.

Below are the changes I hope to put in place to improve my growth for the remaining part of the year:

• I wish to learn to be focused on my goals against all odds. There are a lot of distractions in life and this had contributed to my not achieving much in this first half of the year. I hope to learn to be more focused on my goals.

• I hope to break down my goals into smaller pieces that I can handle on monthly basis. In the first half I didn't break down my goals into smaller achievable tasks.

• I hope to roll out the habit of procrastination. Procrastination is a major issue in achieving goals. I will completely erase this habit from my list of to do activities.

• Develop the spirit and habit of consistency. I hope to be more consistent in my engagement until I complete a certain task.

On Steemit my target is to create more quality contents, participate in more contests. I am targeting 4,500 Steem power for the remaining half of the year.

In real life I want to complete my online digital marketing course this month of June, secure a job and raise money to complete my remaining goals for the year that are financially demanding.

I invite my friends @ogechukwu-marthar @kemzy21 and @bela90 to participate in this contest.
