Happy New Year: Remember to Keep Transitioning from Physical Energy to Wisdom Energy at Work

It is all beautiful to leave the bounds of 2024 to feel the breeze of 2025. The sun has risen on the horizon and the flowers have blossomed, awakened by the fresh energy from the eastern corridor. The happy birds are out, in ecstasy, and men and women, afresh with new imaginations, welcome the mild harmattan day as the chorus of a new year blasts on the radios and tvs.  A new day, a new year, is here. With drums, songs, claps, clicks, likes, and shouts, we welcome 2025.

The year 2025 will bring abundance to you, your friends and your families. Like the baobab tree, abundance unconstrained on health, wealth and wisdom. The works of your hands would be blessed. My name is Ndu-bu-isi-uwa [life is first in all things in the universe]; you will have life in abundance. 

Review 2024, and check areas to improve your processes, and hit 2025 with the great energies of harmattan, to unlock new vistas in careers and personal economies.

Remember: two things happen in careers: physical energy of youth and wisdom energy of experience. With 2025, we are transitioning, marginally, losing the physical energy, and for a sustained great career, we need to ensure we keep compounding the wisdom energy. Companies compensate us early in our careers for that physical energy and will later switch to that wisdom energy. Where we fail to understand that redesign and transmutation, we break the trajectory of a great career.

As an athlete, you make money using the strength and vitality of the youth. But as you age, to be successful, you need to transition from physical strength to wisdom in applicable forms. We’re all athletes in our fields, and that means 2025 provides the opportunity to prepare for the future. Yes, compound your wisdom and have a great 2025!

A journey in 2025; a journey into abundance. Happy New Year.
