Today marks
the last day of the year 2012. A couple of months ago, we were celebrating the
last day of the year 2011 and in less than an hour, we’ll be in the year 2013.
Wow!! How time flies.
As we
gradually approach midnight, let us take out some time to reflect on the
activities of this year. Not everyone that started this year lived to see the
end and so we thank God Almighty for the gift of life. Some of us got our dream
jobs this year, some got engaged, some got married, some had their kids, some
of us got promotions, some of us started our businesses and grew them
successfully, some graduated, gained admissions, some got healed and a lot
more. The case wasn’t the same for some other people, but in all, we thank God Almighty.
2013… A new
year, a new beginning, packed with lots of expectations. Before the end of
today, most of us will write down a list of things they either want to change
in their lives or achieve in the coming year. We call them “New Year
Resolutions”. The big question is how many of us actually write down these
lists and keeps to them? Most of us wrote down resolutions (goals) at the
beginning of this year. Some of us achieved most of our resolutions, some tried
failed and gave up, and some did not even try at all.
For those of
us that achieved our set out resolutions/goals this year, kudos to you. For
those who tried and failed, this is another opportunity to think of better
strategies to achieve our resolutions/ goals. For those of us that didn’t try
at all, you need to understand that action orientation is a major requirement
for success in anything you do. Just like the one of Newton’s laws of motion
states “all objects remain in a state of rest until a force is applied”, you
need to take action.
I want to
wish you all a very Happy New Year and I pray that this new year will be a year
of new beginnings, that God Almighty will Guide and protect us through and that
we shall achieve everything we hope to achieve. Have a wonderful new
year………
