Hi friends, I have a few words of wisdom to share with you
as we have come back to campus with the intentions of trying to make our life
better. I wouldn’t call myself a motivational speaker; because I’m not. A
friend whom I gave this article to edit it for me was trying to give me that
august title.
I believe most of us went to church on 31st December, 2012
to “crossover” ”run over” “ jump over’’ “dive over” and even “sleep over”.
Well, I did too and it was my first and last non wedding church service I attended
in 2012.
My friends, what is the difference between the 24 hours you
spent when the calendar said it was December 31 and the 24 hours you spent
afterwards? There is no difference except that now we humans say it’s 2013.
Regarding the resolutions you made to help you better your
life, the question is whether the things you mentioned as your resolutions will
help you live your best life and whether they are what God wants for you. My
friend Gabriel Obodai Torgbor Ashong from the Ghana Institute of Journalism
wrote in an Op-Ed earlier this year that make your resolutions SMART and pass
them through the SWOT Analysis to make it solid.
There is statistic that proves that 70% of New Year
resolutions are broken, forgotten or abandoned within the first ten days, that
means holding onto the rest of the 30% for the rest of the 355 days is
certainly the most difficult task you will ever have to do.
The answer or solution to this problem is to be the best of
yourself whenever and wherever you are. If you find yourself in class, your job
and resolution should be to be the best student, at the work place, just try and
be the best employee. If you find yourself among friends just be their best
friend.
It is having the continues responsibility of being the best
of who you are, irrespective of the event or activity you find yourself in,
that will help you live your best life for this year.
Making sense of life is vital to understanding how it works.
Life is purely mathematical, you be the best of whomever you are and you are
assured of the best results when you go through your resolutions checklist at
the end of the year. That is why Beyonce said that though she doesn’t know much
about algebra, she knows one plus one it two. What you put in is what you get.
If you don’t put much into life you won’t get much out of life.
You don’t have to be hard on yourself, just take it a day
after other, by being the best of yourself in every passing minute and hour
with the direction from your goals and your Super Natural Power. This is the
simple and surest way to achieving your cumbersome resolutions, and hey, if
along the way you find yourself abandoning some of your resolutions, don’t beat
yourself about it, after all it’s just a resolution, a new one can be made from
a new starting point (where you currently are in life). Besides who said
resolutions are made only on January 1, life is that flexible.
~With love,
