Can’t we all agree that we have had enough of 2023? Restart the year or just jump to the next? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year? No? Okay. Atleast I tried.

Welcome to Myra’s goal getting year , what has she gotten other than disappointments, failed balance and/or trust issues?

No, I got none of that actually. What I have gotten is more blessings that I bargained for, more love, more friendship connections, more balance, and just more of everything I asked for. I can say, without any fear of contradiction, I am cruising softly.

Seeing as my vision board is coming to life and I have achieved more than half of the things I set out to do, I thought it would be nice to share progress and share my new, improved and revised vision board.

I was right to map out a physical manifestation of the things that I wanted because it did give me purpose to get up each day and strive to achieve those things. I could and can still see exactly what I want, those brightly colored dreams that never seen to dull and burn bright with passion! I have slacked on some of them and overdelivered on more, I simply remind myself that I am doing this for me: my fulfilment and my happiness. I would highly recommend setting up a vision board for everyone that has goals they want to reach and milestones they can measure their goals with.

You can find my old vision board here!

What have I cancelled out so far and what have I added:

1. I have gained more YouTube subscribers!

I have celebrated this win so much, you would think I have been consistent in posting content (askies guys!). I have not been able to stick to my proposed schedule and that really shows on my almost videoless channel but I am really working on that. I am learning to remember to film things and writing down ideas and all that. If you have not yet subscribed, use this link to join the family! I am truly grateful to everyone that subscribed to my channel and all the support means a lot to me. Y’all are amazing!

2. More money!
I am NOT rich please abeg (but may Allah(swt) grant me that privilege). I am just saying I am able to do the things I want to do when I want to do them, that is not something I could say a year ago and I am so grateful for that chance. I work a beautiful job with hardworking people, my business has been on hold due to unforeseen circumstances but I am here and I am giving myself the best of everything! The theme of my life is no wahala’rd, guys!

As for ChateauxMw, see all my loyal and beautiful customers soon with beautiful scrunchies, organic hair products and just more and better of everything!

3. Prioritsing my peace.

Ah yes, the goose that lays golden eggs: putting yourself first. I am here to testify that it pays off to be selfish with yourself: with your presence, with your space, with your time and with your energy. I cannot emphasize the absolute need to take care of yourself and to center your efforts in living a happy life, not the perfect one but a happy one. I will admit that one cannot be happy 100% of the time and sometimes, we are neither happy nor sad but living in moments and creating precious memories. My peace has been a focal point in my journey and has come with acceptance of situations.

I have become more accepting of life, more tolerant of people and their problematic views, more understanding of people’s choice and most of all, more patient with myself as I go through all the seasons that were meant for me. I have also accepted that not everyone will stick around through the said seasons and that is okay. It is okay and only right for other people to prioritise themselves and their peace away from me, I wish them well from a God-fearing distance.Change is tough and adapting to new things is tougher but I find that, more and more each day, there is nothing more serene, breathtaking and beautiful like learning to love yourself all over again!

4. Vlogging equipment!

I never understood why content creators had so many tripods until I launched by YouTube channel and that was my uhuh moment. Now, at my earliest convenience, you will find my googling the price of cameras, tripods, lighting equipment, microphones and I can not keep up with the prices! What a time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen. I have acquired a few things on the list and you can find a complete list of my vlogging equipment here.

Would I say I am more successful, more calm, more grateful, more soulful, more present and more personal? Yes, I am. I am everything I have worked to be and more. I am the things that have happen, continue to happen and are happening to and for me, a collection of priceless items. I have had my bad days, some I do not have the words for yet but it’s coming. I am sitting here at 00:02 on a Friday dawn writing this and pouring my heart and thoughts out and man, this is (almost) everything I wished for! I have problems like every other person but I get through them and life will forever go on for me.

Here is the new board, exempt of everything achieved, eager to tick more boxes:

My new board is mostly focused on giving me the softest life possible and yes, I will never stop manifesting more streams of income.More money, a book launch, a skincare routine, a knitting machine, what more could a girl ask for?

What was on your vision board that has been a big hooray! so far? Let me know in the comments!

Love,

The embodiment of multicoloured dreams!❤️🔐
