One thing that is constant is changes, time and seasons. Life is certainly dynamic, and life’s stages are in phases, today is different from yesterday, this year is expected to be different from 2017 and for sure even age wise you will experience a transition in ascending order. Just remember this; don’t be left in your yesterday.
Every new beginning is followed by a lot of hope, thoughts, emotions, aspiration, inspiration, ambition and expectation. Sometimes; comes worries, fear and anxiety that; ’what next?’ People will set new goals, make new resolutions, and set a new cause for their lives, while majority will be optimistic about the future, a few remain in pessimism cos they are unsure what lies ahead for them.
I have learnt something in time, one thing you cannot predict is the outcome of life, no matter how well articulated your life’s plan may be or look like, no matter how organized you are as a person, one thing is for sure; life is driven by its own will and gears. You can only hope that you are at the right place and the right time, and as much as it is so, you still make your plans.
One thing you must never forget is to set your goals and make your plans. Anticipate things to work according to your plans and should life go its own cause or disappoint you, don’t lose it there, don’t stop there, and don’t retard your journey there, have an allowance enough to absorb it.
Be prepared psychologically to succeed and also be psychologically fit if anything goes wrong or perhaps outside your plan. Make room for exception and when things fail in your favor, be ready to absorb the effect and move on with your life. When you fail there is something to learn from it, when you succeed; there is another challenge ahead. Don’t quit, learn fast and proceed to the next goal.
Set achievable goals and make sure they are realistic. Sometimes, Faith is applicable if you are like me that believes that; “the just shall live by faith”. God and believing in Him can make a difference when He is involved. Never renegade “The God Factor” as the last option, He is the only option; trust and commit all your goals and plans to Him and if you are not a religious person, then for you is a matter of fate.
At every stage you find yourself, look at where you are coming from and are thankful, it could have been worst and so long as you have breath, you have hope. Hope empowers a man not to throw in the towel even when things don’t seem to go in His favor. It is a new dawn it is a new year; it is a fresh start, and a brand new beginning.
Wake up someone; let go of your past mistakes but hold the lesson, you fail only when you quit trying, there is a mark ahead of you never stop till you get there. Strengthen your relationships with others, one thing I discovered many people we meet in life are there to take care of something, you can never tell who has the next key to you next success in life. When I mean success am not referring to wealth but to achieving the goal or set task in your life at every junction.
Love much, care much, give much, thank much, smile much and pray much.
Wishing steemians Happy new year…………
Yes you're very on point here. I do find that asking God/Universe for help during the times where I don't know what to do next really helps me. Once I receive the guidance I need, then I'm almost always able to take those insights and churn them into tangible goals. Then I'm off from there. It's a wonderful process :)
