WHAT DEFINED YOUR 2019?

sir,

The commencement of the year of 2019 brought extreme enticement to our lives. We were all grateful for an additional year to our calender.

Alas, not everyone started the year on an exciting note, but the most important thing is that we were all given a new opportunity to do something great for our lives. We made new resolutions while others revisited old ones in an attempt to entirely achieve them. As I stated at the beginning of the year in “We All 2019 Rich”, setting out resolutions or goals doesn’t make one achieve them instantly, but ultimate success calls for one to move out of their comfort zone and work tirelessly.

We have yet again reached that part of the year where we get to reflect on our year plans and achievements. It’s a perfect time for you to revisit your goals. As you do so, ask yourself what defines this year for me? What did I do differently from all the other years? What are my achievements?

Ask yourself if you’ve grown as an individual, how did you grow, what made you grow, and who helped you grow? Think about your goals, what were your goals at the beginning of the year? Did you or not achieve them? What made you to or did you not to achieve them? If you were given another chance to relive 2019, what will you do differently or change? What will you improve on? How will that reflect your presence?

Unfortunately, we can’t change history. 2019 is almost over and soon it’ll be done and dusted. All that we are and will be left with are memories. Memories give us a chance at this very moment or in the future to look back and say, 2019 was the best year in my life, I graduated, and today I am a successful teacher, nurse, doctor or businessperson.

Some are and will be celebrating their first year of employment, or first year at college, while others have met their lifetime partners, got married and are in jovial relationships. The unfortunate contrast is also true as some are crying over missed life changing opportunities, lost jobs, failed courses, unplanned pregnancies and  failed marriages.

Grieve

While others continue to grieve deceased loved ones. The latter make up a painful phase and moving forward from all these life draining challenges is not always easy. But reality outlines that we can’t undo anything that happens to us but we can learn and prepare better for the future.

We should know and accept that we now live in this intense world. A world so brutal, a world with no shame. The very world that doesn’t owe us a thing; no opportunity, no better life, nothing. We should know that every single year will bring forth endless new draining challenges. We should learn to accept and appreciate those challenges as much as we accept new opportunities.

That doesn’t mean we should make resolutions and sit back and wait for such challenges to give us an excuse to why we didn’t do all we were supposed or intended to do. This world demands a person to be versatile and spontaneous if you want to stand out and shine in the mist of all sorts of adversities. We should have the desire to endure through all life hassles if we want to make it and have all that we desire.

I once learnt that if you want to achieve something different in life, you need to do something different. You should create something different for yourself by doing something different every single day. You have to change or improve your study routines if you want to achieve improved grades at school.
In a nutshell, life is blissful blessing, a very special one we should treasure in our daily lives. It is by God’s mercy that we live and acquire other opportunities in life and we should thank Him for that. Invite God as you celebrate this festive season and plan for the new year ahead. I wish everyone memorable festive season and a happy new year.
