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!!!!!!
