At 15, I planned out my whole life and saw myself happily married at 23😂

There was nothing anyone could say to advise me.

At that time it was possible because things were going smoothly...

I was supposed to finish secondary school at 16, graduate from university at 22 as a doctor and get married at 23.😂

But life had other plans.

That same year,
-I almost lost my mother during childbirth.
-My dad cut off all contact with me
-I dropped out of the private school I was attending to go to a public school
-We almost became homeless

Nothing would have prepared me for that.
I wouldn't even have imagined I would be a copywriter, enjoy selling, or even be writing this post.

And even if I could take it all back, I don't think there is anything I would want to change...

Because those experiences made me the strong go-getter I am today.

I enjoy what I do, I feel good when I write and the idea of getting married at 23 seems ridiculous to me(I don't know what the idea of others may be)

What am I trying to say?

There is nothing wrong with setting goals but, don't beat yourself up when life happens and you can't achieve them.

Set goal
Make plans and just keep moving.
As far as you're moving, you're making progress

P.s Today, I just started a 30-day writing challenge with Chiamaka Joyce and it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to share all I have in store for you. ❤️

Setting goals in Nigeria is like asking a girl for her body count.

If she says 4, add 10 to it.

You should have added 10 to your 23.

Nigeria will shatter you and your dreams, does not matter the money or influence you have.

It's even worse when you are average and worst when you are poor.
