RESOLUTION

                    

Yes!, 2013 is over, we are so eager to wish ourselves merry Christmas and happy new year in advance, but looking back at the beginning of this same year, has it really being a good year??? Did you do anything new, or did you learn anything at all, did the year pass through you, or you just passed through the year, this is a food for thought!

I want to believe we all had resolutions at the beginning of this year, but the question is did you make your resolution come to reality?? Most of us just make resolutions for New year’s sake, and the farthest it can go is February, by then we would have forgotten about any sort of resolution made, till the following year again, and the cycle continues, this shouldn’t be!

I think some of the reasons we forget about or neglect our resolution is because of procrastination, this is common  among we Nigerians, we take everything for granted, this is a country African time is the order of the day, this mentality ruins so many things for us, if you have something you would like to start doing, the best time to start is now, at least build a foundation for it, it’s a stale saying, but we still don’t know it is a very powerful one, because it is the truest saying of all times, TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE!. Nobody at all, like I normally say, no time to check time, if you keep procrastinating, and telling yourself that at least I still have 365 days ahead of me, but do you know that 365 days is too short for those who know what they are doing, make use of the little time you have, life itself is just too short for you to waste any time or think you have many days ahead of you, says who?, I don’t mean to scare anybody but who says you would live to see tomorrow, this is just a fact, just like we wake up every day and we have it at the back of our mind that each day we are moving a step closer to our grave, that is the same way you make good use of the days left, those things you had in mind to do at the beginning of this year, START IT NOW!, though the year is almost over, but when you start now, there is a high probability that we would continue what we started this coming year.

Another reason people fail to bring our resolution to reality is lack of plan, most of us are too clumsy that we want to start several things at the same time, this is not good enough, at the end of it all, you would discover you have achieved nothing, take things one step at a time, make a plan for those things you want to do this coming year, if it is something you can start now, THEN START!. if  it is something you would start this coming year, make plans and arrangement for it, take a good look at those things that can hinder what you are about to do, if it is money, time , e t c, make provision for it as soon as possible, if it is an habit you want to stop, you can tell a friend to punish you anytime you do that thing, it might sound funny but it is true, if a friend knows you want to change a bad habit, a good friend would support you any way, also, if you want to cultivate the habit of doing something, you can set an alarm or reminder on your phone, for instance, if you want to be reading your bible thrice a week, make it easy for yourself, there is a way you can download bible on your cell phone, set a reminder, you would be surprised how far you have gone at the end of the year.

Don’t make resolutions you can’t bring to reality, make things easy for yourself and look for convenient ways to achieve your goals. I WISH YOU ALL A PROSPEROUS AND MEANINGFUL YEAR!*hugs and kisses*.
