Believe it or not 2016 is over and when I say over I mean over and done with, the year is gone forever with it's glories, sorrows and pains. Whatever the year did for you it is time to let go of the year and face squarely a brand new year, the year 2017!
I know that by now any serious minded person out there would have set SMART goals for this brand new year and these goals will help shape the entirety of the year especially if you are prayerful and smart.
The truth about this year is that it portends to be a year full of glory, power and possibilities. It is also a no nonsense year that will separate the boys from the men. In my clime 2016 was a bit of a challenging year but the truth is that if you survived 2016 then you are better ready and prepared to conquer 2017...
In this brand new and brilliant year you must learn to:
1. Be Intentional.....I cannot say this enough! You must be intentionally deliberate. Everything you embark upon must be because of a clear motive that is leading to somewhere greater, better and more rewarding. Nothing must be done haphazardly. You must be organised, focused, purposeful and intentional in every endeavour and you must realize that you are not getting any younger so it is not the time to allow for chaotic situations.
2. Be Purposeful..Purpose must be clearly defined, and every action we embark upon must be guided by our primary and ultimate purpose. You must define why you are here? What were you born to achieve? What do you intend to bring to the table this year and how will you make this happen? We must avoid banding and bonding with the herd. We must be clear, and distinct in our compositions from the beginning of the year till the very last day of 2017.
3. We must be guided by godly principles.....There is no point succeeding outside God Almighty. I mean this there is just no point succeeding outside Him. We are His creations. We are His highest and best creations and we were born to worship, serve and love Him singularly and whole heartedly so we must ensure that we commit to following godly principles in all that we do in 2017. This is not the time to fake religiosity. We must have godly values that will leave lasting legacies even after we exit this earth and there is no better time to start this mission than 2017!
4. We must choose happiness always. In my new book ''In Pursuit of Happiness'' , I postulated that happiness is a choice that we must daily make. It is not to be left to our circumstances and situations. We must choose to be happy no matter what and this means creating our own happiness by doing things that will make us happy, creating the right environments for our happiness and by reaching out to a less privileged world out there. In 2017 decide to be happy no matter what. It is in your power to do!
5. We must watch our relationships....People make or mar us and our relationships determine whether we will go forward or crash in life. 2017 is a year that we must watch our relationships. Let us declutter our relationships. Cut out negative people. Trim down on your social network friends. Not everyone should know what you are doing and not everyone should know when you are down. Be selective, be deliberate, be wise.
I personally have determined that in 2017 I will be my best, achieve my best and be at my best exuding excellence at every turn and churning out productive, innovative and amazing creative works time and time again. I have determined that 2017 will be a landmark year in my life where everything good and excellent will come. My question to you is this, ''What is your own determination in 2017''??? Whatever your determination this becomes your vision, your goal and your potential for success! Determine wisely.
Welcome to GLORY!
