Every year ends, a bunch of realizations will come in mind and it will be up to us if we either grow from these realizations we had come up with or it will just stay as a mere thought. 2024 is yet another year to try. Every year we are privileged enough to correct any misconceptions we had last year.Every year we get a chance to refine what is needed to be refined.  Realizations makes the most of us. It will mold us to be able to know who and what we are. These realizations wont always be positive as there are no perfect individual. Accepting criticism from yourselves or others will also be a fundamental building block for improvement, you can alwa...
