Make this year count!
The beginning of the year is a very exciting time for most people. So exciting that at times we forget that we need to get out of the celebratory mode into the working mode. The one thing that I think we fail to realise at times is that time doesn't stop. Therefore, while we party and celebrate the new year time is hard at work doing what it's meant to do. Have you ever thought of maximising everyday? Have you thought of what the outcomes might be if you grabbed everyday and squeezed each moment out it? I mean if you gave each moment a hundred percent attention and maximised every opportunity in each day. Surely you will be a great success at the end of the year. I strongly suggest that the seizing of each moment begins today, in fact, now the 1st of January 2023.
If you wake up this morning and spend an hour without working or even thinking about your dreams or goals, I suggest you confront yourself and ask if self is serious about achievement this year. I know that some people are scared of confrontation, to a point that they can't even confront themselves if they did something that contradicts their destiny. Well, if you are that person I suggest that you learn to self-confront because if you are serious about making this year count you have to possess the ability to do it.
Listen, I'm not saying its going to be easy, I'm just saying its possible. I know you may have been trying all year, things did not work out, people were laughing at your dreams & goals, I just want to say to you, give it one more try, maybe you've been rejected all year, give it one last try, maybe all the people around you don't believe in what you are doing, try again. I want you to do it for the people who want to see you fail. A successful man is not defined by the number of times he falls, but rather the number of times he rises after falling.
