The Best Way To Live Out Your New Years’ Resolutions From Jan. to Dec.

-


Out of the 90% of people all over the world who make New Years’ resolution(s); 80% of them do not achieve half their resolution(s) by the half of the year, 7% exceed half of the year  and even close to the end of the year, whereas only 3% of them fulfill all their new years’ resolution(s).

This fact above which was retrieved from personal observations continues to beg the reason; Why?

I have outlined below the Four major reasons why people do not accomplish their new years’ resolution(s); you inclusive. The reasons are as follows:  

1.   Too many resolutions: This is a major mistake a lot of people make. They make a list of Dos and Don’ts, forgetting the fact that they cannot be jack of all trade and master of all. New Years’ resolution should be something that you really need to stop. 

2.   Lack of Meditation: Meditation is essential in the life of a human being. There should be a time, once in a while when you sit in the comfort of your time and space and think good thoughts on how to better your life. But, so many people fail to do this. That is why there is a saying that goes thus; an unexamined life is not worth living. When you do not stop and think back to know how and where to improve your life, things would always turn out negative for you.

3.   Giving Excuses When The Road Becomes Tough: It is true that nothing good comes easy, but making excuses or giving yourself reasons to believe that failure is an option is not advisable.

4.   Lack of Self Control: No one is perfect, but just strive to be perfect. You should be able to make decisions about your life and stick to it. You should be the one in charge of your emotions and not the other way round.

In order to live out your new years’ resolution(s) from start to end without any falter, you should do the following:

1.   Meditate: Take some time and think your life through. Ask yourself; From January to December, what are those things I have done and I am proud of? What are the ones I am not proud of? Did it affect me or others negatively? If yes, then, you really have to change it. That becomes your resolution.
It is also important to note that making New Years’ resolution(s) and keeping to them (or it) is usually more effective when you have a few list of things to do (one or two), so as to enable you give enough time and dedication to it (them).

2.   Pray: You may take advantage of this, but prayer is essential in the life of every Christian. John 15 vs. 5 says that cut off from God, you can achieve nothing, and another part of the scriptures says that you should hand over our plans to God, and they would come out successful. So, you should pray over your New Years’ resolution(s) to turn out positive.

3.   Be Dedicated: Always bear in mind that you have set out on a journey of fulfilling your resolutions. So, do not stop until you do so.

4.   Take Control Over Yourself: It is said in the scriptures “Man shall not live by bread alone”. So, you must not always try to satisfy your flesh. It is true you are not perfect, but even if you fall along the way, do not be discouraged. Keep moving on. Do not Stop! 

As you do all these, I wish you well on your journey to becoming a better You!
Happy New Year in Advance!

Easiest way to quit your addiction

Quitting a bad habit is usually harder than starting a good one. When you are ready to stop that thing which after engaging in, you hate yourself so much, do the following:     Resolve to change.  Tell someone about it : it should be someone whom you trust can help you. It could be your spiritual director, friend or relation. Forget about how long it will take you to stop it : you may stop it in days, weeks, months, or years...depending on your level of addiction. Be patient but determined to change : definitely, you will give in to your addiction occasionally, but do not lose hope. As much as possible, stay away from anything that will make you act otherwise. When you feel like giving up, talk to your confidant about it. "A problem shared" they say, "is half solved".   Find out what your turn off is , in relation to the habit : This means discovering the thing that, if you remember it when you want to give in to your bad habit, you  have a ...

How To Know Your True Friends

It is not everyone who associates with you, that you should call friends or trust your life with. Some people come close to you just to get something from you. Others come close to you to get back at you; whereas a selected few are with you because they love, and respect you for who you are, notwithstanding your shortcomings. If you find it hard to identify your true friends, just leave it to time. With time, they will prove themselves to be either True or Fake friends.   Know that your friends would never do anything on purpose to hurt you. They can displease themselves in most occasions for your own good, because they know you would do the same thing for them. They are always there for you when you need them, and they do not wait for you to ask them for something before they do it. A true friend would always caution you when you do the wrong thing, no matter how bitter it may seem. They always tell you the truth you do not want to hear. They cannot lie to you...

What you should do when life becomes tough

A lot of people give up when things become hard for them without even trying. Sometimes, they feel like there is no more essence for living; that there is no hope. Are you one of those people? There is one thing you should know. Once you are alive, there is still hope to try again. There is no law that says that you must come out successful at first or tenth trial of any task or plan. There is also no law that says you must fail, as long as you have never done it before. Do you know it is a sin against yourself to see yourself as a never do well? Do you know that there is no limit to what you can achieve in life? You are the only one that has a control and hold of your life as long as human race is concerned. You alone can set boundaries for yourself. Only you can set a limit to your achievements yet to be made, not me, not your family, neither is it your friends. One major mistake we make is to always compare ourselves with others. Everyone has a path. You have yours, oth...
