New year, new you. If this is the case, then let’s make some significant changes and not just in resolutions. For example, why not start that training today, the one you promised you will start this year

It's the beginning of a new year and so many resolutions will be made today but without backing it with action it is useless. We need to do act per the set goals.

I was thinking yesterday of how every new year people like to make a new year resolution and how this comes to nothing. Sure they try and get started with the goals they've set but in a short while they stop because they lack the discipline and willpower to achieve their goals. I guess it's human nature, we want the easy way out. So I started thinking "why is it that things don't work?".

I think the main reason is that most people set goals that cannot be achieved overnight but strive to achieve them so easily because they believe they are masters of the craft. People often forget that there is a process behind achieving something, many people are not ready for any form of hard work even though it is only a matter of time before they give up. The simple fact is that no one ever achieved anything by sitting down and wishing for it. We need to understand that motivation without action is useless.

This is something I've heard way too many times in my life. It's a cliche but true nonetheless. There will always be challenges in life, there will always be people who don't like you or an unexpected event that will throw you off course. It's up to you to work towards your goals, not just talk about them.

On this special day of the new year, I am motivated to share some life tips that I have learnt along the way that you can also achieve in 2022. Let's have a look at some tips.

1. Start by writing down your goals.

It's very important to see them visually, even if you know what you want to do. It's almost like a contract you make with yourself, which is something very powerful. Writing them down will give you a clear idea of what you want to do and why, which is always the first step to success. (I write everything in a notebook and carry it with me). I didn’t have this until the early hours of today.

I know most of us want to move with the tide, let things work at their own pace, no need to give ourselves unnecessary pressure but having your goals written down will make things easy for you to achieve each of them.

2. Celebrate all wins

Set a reward for yourself, when you achieve any of the items on your List, celebrate yourself. Give yourself some treats and don't beat yourself if there is a delay in achieving a certain goal. Celebrate even your small wins. No victory is too small, celebrate both small and big and this will act as a motivation to achieve the next.

3.Choose your circle wisely

You are a drug addict and your resolution this year is to stop taking drugs, yet you still visit joints where drugs are being used, you walk with friends that are also addicts but with no plan of Quitting. You're only deceiving yourself if you're in this category.

There's a popular saying "You're the average of the people you walk with the most". Try to mingle with like minds. People with a common interest, people that think big. Towards the end of last year, I had to cut contact with a few people who are becoming more of a stumbling block to me than a friend. Some certain people are so pessimistic and they can transfer this to you. Beware of such!

In conclusion, this year, make a list of everything you want to achieve and find a way to achieve it. Work towards it and make it happen. Make this your year to succeed, to grow as a human being, as an entrepreneur. Believe in yourself and keep working. We've been working on our own resolutions and we have some big plans for the new year.

Remember you still have 354 days and a few hours to achieve all set goals.

Thanks HappyPeople!🤗💚🤗
