It is often traditional and cultural to coin up a theme every year to aspire towards. As 2025 was rounding up, I found myself living in the moment. December 2025 I was in Nigeria for vacation, and I did something I have never done before. I was completely absent from social media. No updates, no posts, no inspirations, no sharing of scriptures. I removed myself from social media completely and lived in the moment. It turned out to be very exhilarating and fulfilling, and unconsciously my trajectory for 2026.
As much as it is a necessity t plan for the future and save for the rainy day, it is also priority to live in the moment. Experience life, enjoy the fruits of your labor (or someone else will), take in the moment and savor the presence of God and the blessings given. Too many times we are living in the future - a future hope, a future moment of glory, a future expectation. And what happens when the mortality of life cuts off that future expectation?
Live in the moment! Appreciate what God has given you now. Appreciate and celebrate your loved ones now. Show your aging parent the love they need now, because tomorrow may be too late. And that is exactly what I am doing this 2026. Living my life with no regrets, living to experience the life God has blessed me with.
ps, I am also transitioning from Kenneth Tamara the social media content curator, to Prof Akponwei Jr, a Social Entrepreneur and Social Impact Creator. At 54, it can be daunting to attempt to craft out a new creative path, but like Abraham uprooted his entire family and followed the leading of a Voice, so I must navigate this path. I own my Voice, and I follow where He leads me.
