6 Milestones I Couldn’t Achieve in 2024
Setting the stage for growth in 2025
As I sit to pen this down, my heart feels a mix of disappointment and hope. It’s already November, already the time for annual reflections.
2024 was meant to be the year of breakthroughs, the year I balanced my professional growth, personal dreams, and the small joys that hobbies bring.
Yet, some milestones I had envisioned slipped through my fingers. This reflection is not just about what I missed but also about the lessons that came with those experiences.

But despite my efforts, that professional leap did not happen. At first, it stung, making me question if I was enough. Over time, I realised that growth is not always linear and that every effort is a building block for future success.
