I decided I was going to be talking to us conscientiously in a bid to lend a helping hand to others through my articles who may have found themselves in ugly situations in life but who may not understand why they are passing through such a phase in their life even as they try so hard in making it in life.
It has become a pertinent issue that a lot of persons struggled through these same things last year and ended up not knowing that that was what has kept them stagnant through last year. Yesterday I talked about one of these situations that may be a hindrance to someone’s financial breakthrough (click here to read the article).
So today I am talking about another one which has kept so many far from their life goals. You might be wondering why I am writing this, especially this January. I have noticed that every time we enter into a New Year, new month, new week or even a new day we sometimes forget to take stock of what we did throughout the past year, month, week and day once this happens, we put ourselves in a position where we repeat the same mistakes we made either in our business decisions or in our relationships by so doing we continue to live a life filled with same mistakes.
I understand that once a mistake happens more than once or two times, it is no longer seen as a mistake rather it is seen by others as our way of life i.e. they tend to judge and relate to us based on these mistakes we have unconsciously allowed to repeat and probably become a part of us. So I ask you, my friend when was the last time you took stock of the things you did in the past as a way of checking your actions and relationships with others either in business or otherwise?
Take a minute to think about the above question. If your answer is in the positive then I would want to encourage you to continue doing so and also help others to do same but if your answer is in the negative then you need to carefully read through this article because I believe it will be of help to you.
In life, we have three different kinds of people when it comes to the way we believe and sees things that happen to us in life. I would try as much as possible to be very short and precise with this article in other not to bore you from reading to the end.
The three categories of people are;
· Those who accept whatever happens to them as faith i.e. that is how life has programmed it.
· Those who believe that the things that happen to them is tied to someone or some group of persons i.e. their life is hinged on other peoples actions and behaviours.
· Those who believe that everything that happens to them in life is solely in their hands i.e. their ups and downs are dependent on how and what they do in life.
Having listed these three categories, I would want you to ask yourself; which category do I belong to?
Why you need to ask yourself the above question especially in the beginning of the year is for you to understand how and what made you not to attain your goals last year and probably avoid it in this new year. Another reason why you must answer the above question is for you to understand where you belong and know how to handle yourself when issues arise.
If you belong to the first category, you must have to learn how to put your whole trust in Mother Nature in that way you will be able to receive inspirations and directions from Mother Nature. For those who do not know, nature has a way of speaking to us but once we do not understand the category we fell into, we will always not hear or see the signs from nature. So try hard to focus and listen to Mother Nature if you believe that you belong to the first category because if you do so, you will notice that things will never take you by surprise in life.
This second category is very delicate and must be handled with all carefulness because once we are in it we completely lose the power of discernment which is what our conscience does for us. My humble advice to anybody who found him or herself in this category is that they should try so hard to change their mindset because if they don’t, they will end up living life were somebody, group of people or something keeps controlling them thereby making them more or less an animal without any decision making power of their own.
This last category is the healthiest of them all because it puts you in charge of your life and whatever that happens to you makes you a better person because you learn from every mistake knowing full well that you are the sole architect of your life, but there is a thin line one must make sure not to cross and that is believing and seeing him or herself as God i.e. playing the role of God. In as much as you believe and understand that your progress in life is in your hand that does not mean that you will play God so be yourself and allow God to direct your path in all that you do.
I hope I have been able to talk to someone today. May God help us to achieve our purpose in life especially in this New Year. Have a wonderful day.
