Preparing for the new year

Good day going, how are you feeling today? Happy holidays too. I hope I'm able to consistently write articles till the 30th. I'm currently at a church retreat program for youth, in preparation for the new year. It's good to commit the new year into God's hands so that He can make every crooked path straight.

Let's have a quick recap of yesterday's article. I wrote about people having a good impression about you.

We can't control what people think of us, but we can give them what to think about. Most times, we hear people talk and encourage people not to care about what people think of them. This is a good one but without the right balance where necessary, it may become disastrous because you now stay living carelessly, talking and relating with people carelessly because you don't care what they think of you.

The society has been created to be a communal one, whereby we need everyone. You've heard people say something like, it's a small world. The world is large but your world is a small world. Your world is small such that there are people you should meet are not necessarily going to be that much. People have been assigned to different times in your life. Not everyone will be a major factor in your life but there are people that are major factors in your life. Nobody knows who these people are, only God knows those people. Therefore, the best thing to do is to have the best of character towards everybody.

It might not look it matter now, but a day will come when it will matter. Several stories of how someone's life changed because of a positive review from another concerning that person.

Of what use is it when, everyone you've met don't have anything good to talk about you. And sincerely, there are people like that. They're almost in everyone's bad book because they've failed to put into consideration how they behave to people. They act like they won't at anytime need them again in life.

It takes nothing away from you if you act in a very good way to everyone you meet. It is known that you can't satisfy everyone's expectations from you, but there is a food way to behave that'll make people have no choice but have a good review of you.

The summary of everything is that we should try our best to good to everyone so that if any need be for anyone to give a review of us, it'll be a good one.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

I'll be writing about my own preparations for the new year.

My first preparation for the coming year is in prayers and it has began already. I said earlier at the beginning that I'm at the camp ground for a youth retreat in peep for the new year. It is good to put God first in everything we do. I'll advise that you do same. You can start where you're by just praying. You can pray anywhere.

Secondly, have goals for next year written down. When you write them down, you'll feel indebted to do them and you can even be able to go back to it incase you're distracted.

Thirdly, have a plan that'll ensure you fulfill those goals. This plan can be in form of monthly, weekly and daily objectives. This will help you to fulfill those goals as fast as possible.

Also, evaluate the places you failed this year, check for the reasons why you failed and look for possible solution to avoid such failures so it doesn't occur in the new year.

This is all I can remember for now. Have a great day.
