New year, New me

Hapi new year lovely people

Yes! it's a new year and as always we've all made our new year's resuolution. Right?

Most people call it new year new me, whereas some person say it's new year old me.

Sometimes we tend to undermine the power of the new year's resolution or the part the new year's resolution plays in shaping you into a new person.

The essence of new year's resolution, is to enable us set goals for the year, and also help us checkmate our last year's g oal and see how far we went to accomplishing them. But often times we don't get the memo and do this the worng way. So in this post I would teach you how to do this the right way. In setting your goals for every year you would have to;

1. Set realistic goals: Before setting goals make sure you've had the time to do some self reflection, yes! a deep one, the purpose of this is to know what you love or like doing or what you want to see yourself doing and set goals that align with this plans. You can't love fashion designing and you're setting goals of being a singer, because you like the money they make in music. Most of us miss it cause we set goals that we can't achieve, we set unrealistic goals that do not align with what we want to do in life so we end up not achieving anything throughout the year. After self reflecting, that thing your heart Is yearning for might just be what you want to see your self doing, or that skill you're good at might just be your ticket to helping yourself and humanity at large. So harness it. The next step to take is...

2. Create a vision board: In most cases we know what plans we have for the new year, it's at the back of our head some of us can even recite it, when we are asked of it in the middle of our sleep. But that's not enough, you need to carve this goals into little memories on a board, or a post card and place it where u can see it every morning, or in your dairies or phone note. This serve as little reminder that you're supposed to do something or achieve something before the end of the year. It helps you know that everything you do should be targeted towards achieving your set goals.

3. Create an action board: Most of us the vision board is not always enough, we need a little bit more push to achieve something. This is where the action board comes in. You can create a daily routine for youself that you can abide by, this daily routine differs depending on your set goals.

4. Discipline yourself: Most of us lack discipline so procrastination has a strong domain in our lives. Discipline yourself from procrastination cause "a time spent can't be regained" . Avoid waiting to do things at the dying moments, it might not seem as a problem now but sis! it's a bad habit, checkmate your circle or company, don't be amongst dull minded or lazy People that don't care about growth, cause they would end up pulling you down. Surround yourself with people that can give you valuable information or people with same interest as you. It's helps to boost your morale and self awareness, because they would always encourage you and help you in you journey. Also engage in healthy habits cause you can be in the sick bed and achieve your goals.

5. Read books: Always read book that would enhance your mental acumen, or books that are related to what you want to do or achieve. There's always a book for everybody, in our world today it's easy to read books now because of the various platforms that make audiobook available and makes it comfortable to read anywhere and anytime. So what's your excuse for not reading a book. Read as many books as possible, it doesn't just only enhance your mental acumen, it help in building your vocabulary as well as your sense of life. 

6. Involve God: You can't go far in life without God, you might have the skills, the looks, the connections, the brain etc. But without God you can't go far. You might kick start without him but trust me you won't last. I have been there done that and realise that his the source of everything. So always put God first in anything you do. Pray always it would give you a sense of discernment, so that where other went and failed you would go and succeed, he also make your efforts worthwhile and crown you with favor so you don't have to labour like others

7. Get a mentor: social media has made it possible for us to see people we love and listen to what they do and improve in ourselves, whatever you're set to do there are people that have done that before you, so you look at them you look at what they've done, look at their  techniques and harness all of that tools to be a better you. I'm not saying you you have to copy what they do or you have to be like them, No, all I'm saying is that they've been there before you so they know all of pros and cons, so you having them as mentors just helps to make the journey smooth for you too. So they are going to tell you their success and their failures. Basically the roles of this role models are to guide you and courage you and to give you a firm hold that you're going to work on to achieve what they've achieved or ten times of what they've achieved.

To work on a better you in 2025, you need to set in motion all of this things, it might look tough but it worth your while. Remember "The road to success is alway narrow and filled with ups and downs". But also remember that you can achieve success of you set your mind to it. Don't hold yourself back this year, alot of people are advancing, do want to be left alone. Work on yourself and be successful, cause a lot of life's depend on you being successful, your family also depend on you being successful, your kids or kids to come depend on you being successful and your generation depend on you being successful.

There was nobody that was created to be poor or financially incapable, we're just limited by our mindsets.

I love and wish you a successful 2025 you of growth.
