Brace yourself


A friend from church asked me a question recently, "Honestly speaking, how much have you managed to accomplish this year in percentage terms?". At first i felt like lying but then he stopped me and said its a personal question and only I can know the answer. Though i have improved a lot from the last few years i still feel as if my percentage hasn't quite reached the levels i would want it to. Entering the new year, the main question is how do i get more stuff done, how can i achieve more and how can i better myself.

Imagine 2020 becoming the year of your dreams were you smash all your goals, beat all your targets become the best version of yourself and finally finally not have to lie when someone asks you how much you have accomplished throughout the year. All this is more than possible but it is going to take a lot of willpower and hard work. As we approach the new year it is of paramount importance to reflect on the year past, soak in all the victories, acknowledge the failures and gear up for yet another chapter. Here are 3 habits i feel that you should adopt in 2020 to help you achieve your overall yearly goal :
  • Keep records
    The reason why we often feel as if we are not getting anything done is simply because no one is keeping account of all the small little victories that we achieve. It is very important to have a personal journal where you keep track of your progress in relation to the tasks that you would have set for yourself.
  • Exercise more
    Exercise though hard to stay committed to it is a crucial factor in your success. A healthy body is a healthy mind and by keeping your mind healthy then you know that your strongest weapon is always going to be in top shape.

2020 is your year to shine, it is the year that you realize all your dreams or at least set a solid foundation for them. Take advantage of the past successes for they are just a reminder of how amazing you are and how good you are at what you do. Happy New Year to all of you and Thank God its Monday

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo

Value your identity

Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity

If not now then when

I feel like this week's article is a sequel to the one from last week because I have the same thought process and emotion as I did last week in relation to just starting on whatever it is you want to start on. I have had times where my mind has just been rich with potentially scalable project ideas which would not only benefit me but also those around me. The reason why none of you have heard about these projects is because all of them are still waiting for something to happen first before they can take off. Bear in mind the biggest dream killers are procrastination and the search for perfection. Procrastination is is the action of delaying or postponing something. So basically everyday you say I will start tomorrow or next week Monday for no clear reason then you my friend are slowly turning into a consistent procrastinator but it doesn't have to be like that. Like I always say...the reason why you never do things is because your brain is always trying to keep you safe and com
