PERFECT START: TAKE CHARGE

Post by OLAITAN




newyear, fresh start, taking charge

It’s a New year! Yes its 2016, this year must be different from the previous one! Yes! My New year resolution is this and that.
Yet few days after the beginning of the new year, many don’t know where to start from, what to do and how to go about it. Gradually, the New Year is sneaking on them already and before they know it, they will carry those plans over to the next one or probably end the year without any achievement. To avoid this I have compiled some tips that would help you take charge of what you get from the year.

#Start by staying positive (SP)

Learn to always remember that you can always react to success ambitions in two ways; You either listen to the cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you know that with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible. Rather getting worried and disappointed over where you are, it is time to think and be optimistic about where you are heading to. Expect good things to come out of challenging experiences.

#Do some reviews (DSR)

So it is important you take time to look at certain areas of your life such as career, family, relationships, financial, home amidst others. They help you check on your previous accomplishments and place in your mind, series of other issues needed to be overturned during the course of the year. As a result it is pertinent you ask questions like;
 What went well the previous year?
 What are those things I would have accomplished?
How have I been able to improve my life?
What do I need to get a better result this year?
What are those things I have started and I have not completed?
Addressing the last question; unfinished project causes so many forms of mental and sometimes, physical distractions. Just round them up! Don’t pile up unhealthy tasks; all you need now is a fresh start so work on getting projects or task you have started completed. Without this, there is no such thing as a fresh start.

#Focus on (FC)

Do you see life as a gift or an obligation? That helps you determine how you view your daily focus. Each day focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift not an obligation. Life is all about learning, loving, Growing and serving. And there seems to be a rationale behind every action, therefore you must believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe then you may just need to;

#Zoom Focus (ZF)

Here priority becomes a key, out of the many important goals and to-do’s, have a list of which goes next after which. Each day when you wake up in the morning ask: “What are the three most important things I need to do today that will help me create the success I desire?” Then tune out all the distractions and focus on these actions.

#Think New (TH)

You can’t continue to do the same thing and expect to get a new result; you have to think of something new. Make it a new beginning, and be smart to figure out what you need to do for the first time and what you need to do again. There are just many ideas of doing that thing out there think of them and ensure they preach morals, legality and positivity (you don’t have to do the wrong to get the right).

#Learn from them (LFT)

Over the years I discovered that; the deal is not getting it right at the first trial, the deal is not being able to learn from previous mistakes (failure as the case maybe). There is always something to learn from your mistakes and that is why we make them so learn from them. I heard sometimes that “If you are not making mistakes then you are not learning”, mistake is to be made and is to either make or break. Its breaks when you don’t realize it and it’s become a commitment and its makes when it is realized and acted upon. Don’t be scared to make mistakes and don’t be foolish not to learn from them.

#Be Thankful (BT)

Appreciating what you have is a key to holding onto it.  Oprah Winfrey once said “Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough” and this means that by being thankful for what you have, you create chance of getting more and the strengths for keeping them. What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. _Ralph Marston

#Put and Pull down goals (PDG)

Success is all about setting goals and getting them. Hence, it is only when results are gotten that a mission accomplished can be chorused. One of the easiest way of going about this is putting goals in writing and by doing this you have them both in mind and in sight and of course, you can always look back and do evaluations on how well you have done about them. Pull down your goals (work towards them), be a goal setter and a goal getter.

#Set and Maintain Standards (SMS)

By setting standards we avoid many limitations. Do you have a standard? If yes, then maintain your standards and if no, start by setting one, maintain and keep it high. You don’t have a standard when you accept prevailing standards. Think of virtue rather than comfort, be superior and not common.

#Add Values (AV)

Watch out for them, whatever is taking value from you is not worth embarking on and whatever is not adding value to you is not worth keeping. Whatever you are doing should be adding value to you and not the other way round and always, so avoid losing those values.

Finally,
Each night before going to bed, thank God for a day well spent and reflects back on what you have accompanied during the day.


At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, and no regrets. Let the year speak for you!!!!!!

Success all the way
