With 5 months left to the end of the year, here are 5 things you need to know to ensure you make it into 2022.

Insecurity is on an all-time high.

First of all, trust NO-ONE. I repeat, NO-ONE. The common cases of kidnappings, cold and vengeful murders, assaults, violence, …  you name, have proven it is a new pandemic unraveling. Personally, I can barely lower my guard, which is exhausting BTW. Always wondering if today is my turn. The worst thing is you may even just be a victim of circumstance, wrong place – wrong time, ignorance, and choice. Therefore, until this “unnatural spirit” that is hovering around us has been tamed, stay on guard and be alert.

No Rule of Law

This point needs no introduction, it was something happening on the low for the longest time, but now, the little ounce of shame that was left is out the window. Justice is quite evasive in this country; plus, the mental, emotional, financial, and even physical drain it causes while seeking it, can be pricier than the outcome. With that said, choose your struggle: know the law, avoid breaking the law, if you break it have the intent to pay the price, if you are a victim of it, try to avoid standard procedures and seek alternatives (settling out of court), it may be unorthodox, but in these times, it is your best bet.

Bonding Time

Your family and friends are instrumental in your life, they can either break or make you. So, make sure you are in the right circle first. Thereafter, intentionally allocate time to build your bond. If you haven’t attended a funeral, over the past 7 months of anyone you know or used to know, then you are one of the lucky few. Such times remind you how you need to dial your phone, drop that text, arrange for that coffee date, and just check in with people. No eulogy or tribute will equate to spending time with those you love and care about.

Have a bucket list

These are the things you intend to do before the year ends. Make the list fun, simple and achievable. From the hustle and bustle of life, you need to make the most out of your life. The list gives you the motivation to work and gives you hope about tomorrow, which is key in pushing on in this life.

Try it all

If you are in-between work, going through a transition, discovering, and rediscovering yourself try to jump into new opportunities that come your way. Not only will it give your life a sense of adventure but also widen your outlook on life. Honestly, it will also kill time as you build on your experience before you get your next solid gig.
