New Year, New Hope

Wow, I was carried away with the present unrest in the country that I almost forgot to say happy New Year. Well, it is never too late to wish you a happy New Year and to assure you that no matter the present chaos around us, the future is brighter.
Although this year started with the devastating News of fuel subsidy removal, which brought about the increase in petroleum products and led to a Nationwide Strike, all of this doesn’t change the fact that 2012 brings with it hope for you and everyone.
For me the New Year is actually more than a change of calendar, it symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. So, I challenge you to do the same. You should look forward to a good year ahead, spread happiness and love to the people around you.
For you, the New Year is like a book, its pages blank. This invisible book before you is called opportunities. On its pages you are to write and fill it up with words, words that would someday become your 2012 achievements. And the best way to start is to be “yourself”. Also, have it in mind that challenges are part of the journey, but remember to put God first and you will never be the last.
Once you have consciously done as said above, then stay positive because negativity kills the spirit. Let your mind focus on what you have written in your book called opportunities that is the power that you have. Now show love to the people you come across, that is your blessing. If you happen to have some setback and things or relationships don’t turn out right, take what you have learnt from it and move forward. And focus on making the next situation or relationship better.
Try to make decision not excuses, its expresses your strength without stating the obvious. Identify your destiny helpers but be wise and don’t get carried away, If not you will become a slave. Above all, grow a father to child relationship with God and don’t stop believing in yourself. And at the end of 2012, you will be grateful you applied this advice from moi.
