2019 is like no
other year before it!
2019 is like
every other year before it!
The first
proposition is so because the year possesses opportunities and adversities that
are peculiar to it. They can make you or mar you. These can be the bridge to
your future and the reason you smile in the face of what make others cry or
they can be the things that make you want to give up (literarily and
literally).
The second
position is so because the year has certain predictable and manipulatable
factors, like other years before it. These things can make the major difference
between January 1st and December 31st.
It is these
things that I will set out:
- Dream the biggest and ‘baddest’ dreams your mind can hold
Regardless of
what you do, folks (you can edit that to read haters, if you so wish) will come
at you. The best way to disappoint people who do not expect anything good from
‘Nazareth’ is by being massively successful. Ain’t no better revenge!
- Draw up plans that will aid the attainment of those dreams
A dream without
a plan is a wish. If wishes were horses, beggars will ride. The last time I
checked ain’t no beggars riding nothing. So, plan to the last detail how
exactly you intend to succeed this year. And, regularly review and revise your
plans.
- Do only things that advance you in the direction of your dreams
Whatever you do
this year, make sure that it is helping you attain your stated objectives. If
it is not, it is a waste of your energy, resource and time (please read the
last as life). Hence, the number one determinant of what you do, where you go
and who you roll with, should be, how are they helping you attain? Be totally
and unapologetically selfish on this score!
- Deny yourself everything that detracts from the achievement of the dreams
Everything in
life has a price. You can pay now or later. The smart person chooses the pain
of discipline over that of regret. This year, ensure that anything that is a
distraction, or a side-attraction has no business with you. It is by
single-minded focus that light becomes laser (and cuts through just about
anything).
- Dance with those with similar dreams or who have achieved such
Life is not a
dash. There are other runners, some ahead of you and otherwise. Find those who
have been to or are on course to your desired destination; there is no point
reinventing the wheel. If your 6-Cycle (six most influential persons in your
life) is made up of billionaires, the 7th billionaire will be you. And this
holds true in everything else.
Therefore, be
intentional in 2019. Be about the business of transforming your dreams to
realities. Do it so well that on the way there, people can feel your groove.
Welcome to your
future!
