Hey PH Community, As we step into 2024, I want to share a personal journey that might resonate with many of you. It s about breaking free from the 'normal' that keeps us stuck and embracing a year of growth and opportunity. For years, my life was a cycle of late starts, minimal effort, and endless TV binges. I was in a rut, but I didn't even recognize it. That was my 'normal.' But one day, I realized that growth is painful, change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong. Here's what I learned: Environment is Key: The biggest barrier to growth is often our surroundings. Change your environment to one that fosters growth and watch how your life transforms. Embrace Tiny Choices: Every small decision can lead to big changes. It's okay to make mistakes; what s important is to keep moving forward. Elevate Your Standards: Higher standards can shift your entire perspective. It s about creating a life strategy that makes the journey as rewarding as the destination. Define Who You Want to Be: Don t settle for the bare minimum in life. Challenge yourself, seek depth, and create a life filled with purpose. This year, I challenge each of you to break free from your own ruts. Whether it's changing a small habit, reshaping your environment, or setting higher standards for yourself, every step counts. I d love to hear from you: What are your plans for personal growth in 2024? How do you plan to break free from your 'normal'? Share your thoughts and let s support each other in this journey of transformation! Cheers to a year of growth and opportunities! - Akeju Tioluwani
