Every new year, we are given twelve months to explore opportunities, discover more of who we are, and build for the future. 2020 is a year of great opportunities. As you migrate into 2020, embrace it with high expectations and focus. Many times, opportunities are not adopted and prepared for, so success becomes a distant thing.
Every great achievement is accomplished through a clear vision and plan. Success is what everybody desires, but not everyone succeeds. Success does not come easy, and no one will achieve your vision for you.
We just ended a decade; you have another decade, what do you plan to do with it? What did you achieve in 2019, and what have you done with your life in the past decade? 2020 is here, a whole new decade, what do you plan to do with it? At the end of this decade, all of us will be ten years older. The beginning of 2020 is the time to reflect and consider what life has to offer and how you can explore opportunities, discover more of who you are and what you want to build. Take advantage of 2020 to create your vision for the future. Make this ten year a time of growing, learning, developing, improving, and advancing.
In pursuing your dream, success is not accidental, you have to go after it if you believe because success is a choice.
Make it one of your 2020 goals. “People don’t automatically become successful; they decide to become successful,” Awo F. Frank. Ask yourself some critical questions. What is my dream? How prepared am I to fulfilling my dream? Do I know what my vision is, and am I ready to engage in this 2020? What is my strength, skills, knowledge, financial status, emotional state, relational skills, etc.?
When you answer these questions, it will help you understand where you are and if you are ready to pursue your dream in 2020.
Self-confidence is one of the strengths you need to fulfill your dream. There will be challenges, you must believe in your ability to succeed, trust yourself that you can make it. If you believe in yourself, you will brace the storm. Please get rid of self-doubt, listen to motivational messages, read about people who had significant impediments, and how they deal with them and succeed. Do not waste 2020 because of the challenges. Our attitudinal approach to pursue our dream is very critical. To build anything profitable in life, we must apply the basic principle of discipline and setting achievable goals. Set your goals for 2020 and plan how you are going to achieve these goals.
Two other factors that are important in achieving your dreams are passion and inner motivation. They serve as the fuel to the vehicle that will help you in fulfilling your dream. Your love for your vision becomes the driving force that keeps you going. Many go through activities without passion, they lack strength or momentum in pursuing their dreams. Your love propels your inner motivation and energy. Life without passion is like a car without gas., you will never get to your destination.
On your way to success, consider these:
1. Surround yourself with people of like mind.
2. Find mentors who are interested in your development
3. Have a clear definition of what success is to you.
4. add value to your life and learn to increase your quality.
5. Make necessary adjustments that will help you fulfill your dream
Success and great opportunities await us.
I hope you identify your dream and achieve it, remember success is a choice. “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second-best time is today.” Chinese proverbs
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
