Hey guys, it’s been a while, and I trust you’re doing fine wherever you are.. Trust me, I have been good too. I have just been here and there with school and a business I’m trying to groom(my new baby😂). Yes, you heard right! I started this new business totes by nini, and it’s been pleasant and beautiful and... smooth and oh! Those are just lies.  People rarely talk about how starting out a new business can be draining, disappointing, and stressful at the very beginning. It has been nothing but a journey filled with false hope, endless day-to-day stress, and disappointments, I must say. But I guess these are just some of the things you face as a beginner.



Honestly, I am in a better state of mind right now and trust me, I had to have conversations with friends and family to get me out of the pre-depression phase I was going through. You know that feeling where things just do not go as planned,  and this is not just once or twice, but instead, more like a back-to-back thing. I was stressed out and tired. Anyone would be discouraged in such a situation. Well, some circumstances cannot be handled alone, and even when you are aware of that, you also might not have someone to share these issues with at any point. But as always, moments like this are what lifeofnickki was brought to light for. If, by any chance, you might have been going through starting business challenges, 

and it seems like you are getting into the pre-depression stage. I hope today’s content lifts up your mood, even if it is in the barest minimal.


You know that moment where you have imagined how everything is going to go when you start. You are super ready to watch your imaginations come to pass, but then it all goes sideways, and you are suddenly drifting away? I know this feeling so well. I can totally relate.

And that is a mistake. I am not saying you should not imagine things. I am not saying you should not be positive but please always prepare your mind for the worst. You cannot control every event in your life; that is just how life works.

What you should do instead is to balance your imagination and prepare your mind that things might not go as planned. But also remember that failure is a part of success. So even if things do not go as planned, it does not exactly mean it is over. It simply means you need to restrategize and work harder.


“Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” 



I do not know what giving up means to some people. However, for me, it is not even an option. When things go sideways, people resort to running away. I do not literally mean running away as per running away, running away tho. What I mean is life happens, and we give up instead of trying harder. And that is another mistake. To friends that want to be persistent, the tool we need here is patience. You need to be aware that things do not just fall in place overnight. It requires consistency, hard work, and patience.

I have made mistakes; I am definitely still going to make a lot more as a newbie. But what makes you and me different is that we do not let our mistake isolate us from taking steps forward; we allow it to redefine our path in moving forward.


There is a saying I love so much. Whenever I ponder on this quote, I feel this inner peace in whatever might be troubling me at that time, and I am sharing it with you today, just in case, it helps you find peace in agitating times. 


“Delay is not Denial ”


It is slow from only one’s eyes but trust me, you are moving at a pace. Do not rush the process...

I hope to be consistent here, and I am going to try... I love you guys, and I hope we all flourish in whatever we are doing.

Gracias😊
