New Year is around the corner; while others are rejoicing in
the seasonal celebration; many others are contemplating on the way forward in their
lives.
You may have recently encountered disappointments in your job,
facing emotional crises due to broken heart from a relationship, while others
may have just lost loved ones.
However, there is no problem for you only need to look deeper
to appreciate all you have passed through within the year.
Basically, being alive seems to be the most important thing
in this discuss, as making yourself happy and lifting your spirit depends solely
on you the thinker/reader and no other person living or dead can make you achieve
that.
No matter what the situation could be, think of other
positive things that have come across your way this year and literally count
your blessings; from there, you can find the strength to carry on.
I want you to grab a paper and pen and write down these points
as I take you through some brainstorming points and events in your life through
the year.
How many new places did you visit within the year; It is
widely known that travelling is part of education, so if within the year you
have added new places or countries to the number of places you visited, you
have ultimately learnt something and added value to your life.
How many new friends have you gotten that have made great
impacts in your live, I mean those that have taught you new skills in
countering life’s difficult situations, shown you new business strategies in
life, given you shoulder to cry on when you needed a comforter, lent you a helping
hand when things were rough; opened your eyes to many opportunities you can utilize
to achieve your desired level in life. Knowing people brings more opportunities
in life especially in this current generation where networking is very vital in
business and life in general.
Other things to ponder on are the many breakthroughs you have
achieved in your workplace no matter how insignificant, the new gadget you just
purchased that has added a little value to your life, what new things have you
learnt in the aspect of cooking, maintaining your health and keeping fit in
this world of multiple health hazards; what is the newest fashion you have
learnt in keeping up with the society, which bad habits have you successfully
dropped from your system within the year.
What are the major teachings you have learnt in life within the
year; you don’t need to be asked how many extra few coins that have been added
to your bank account. However, if there were no increase in the account, the
mere existence of the account means there is potential for increasing it.
Time to look
forward:
Religiously going through the above stated, you can agree
with me that the year never went in vain. So cheer up and have another perspective
to your views; start by knowing how to utilize your advantages in life.
·
Think
of the next year as a new start for many things to come:
·
Utilize
the experiences you have gathered through the year for that next big thing in
your life;
·
Grab
the opportunity of your new acquaintance and develop that big picture in your
mind around them;
·
Have
you checked the possibility of the new places you just visited in projecting
your new business idea?;
·
Have
you checked how the negative experiences you encountered within the year can
help in solving problems for others and educating friends;
·
In
this coming year, have you thought of dropping those friends that have
negatively influenced life;
·
Which
steps do you intend taking to improve yourself spiritually, educationally and
financially this coming year;
·
If
you have not discovered your potentials in life all these while, why can’t you
resolve to face it this coming year
