(sorry if it's a rough way to start, but I'd like to emphasize strongly the urgency and the need to get started with your 2018 goals)
"Holiday is over!"
I hate to do this, but permit me to spoil your mood a little bit further.
Whether you are resuming work, school, or training tomorrow or next week, the truth is exactly what is written above.
Everything continues from where you stopped, and what will determine if you enjoy a head start, reach your goals and become a better person this year are not just the plans you have made and tacked up on the wall, but also how serious you are about getting started and putting these plans to work.
On December 19th 2012, Jelili said he was waiting for the New Year before he gets started with his dream of becoming a movie script writer. He was serious about what he wanted, he even went as far as writing them down, but Jelili lacked the will power to enforce his desires. It's been over five years since he made those comments, and as at the time of writing this post, Jelili is yet to get started. Goals, plans and dreams die when they are left unattended to.
I think there's a widespread misconception about a New Year. We think the first few days in a new year are some sort of a super day that automatically changes and makes things work out, and as a result we put off all of our plans till then. But it doesn't work that way! You see, the first few days in a new year are just like every other normal day. The only thing that makes it different is the frenzy surrounding it. Whatever you can change, change it now, don't put if off any longer.
It's important to note that things will not automatically change because it's a new year, things will change because you do something about them. In the same vein, time doesn't change things, it is what you do with time that changes things. Likewise, intolerance of your present will not automatically create your future if it is not merged with action.
Don't only move decisively towards the goals and plans you have set. That's just the start but it doesn't end there, be sure to also apply corresponding action. Everything boils down to ACTION!
You really shouldn't be content with "managing" a bad situation or maintaining 'Status Quo' anymore in 2018. Stretch yourself.
Don't manage that bad job for another year, determine to change it. Don't manage that degree for another year, you know you need an upgrade, get it!
Don't be scared to start that business, refuse to be mediocre, stop waiting for handouts, learn that all important skill.
Do whatever it takes to get out of your comfort zone. Don't manage a bad situation this year, get out of it!
Be dissatisfied with mediocrity!
Be dissatisfied with wishful thinking!
Be dissatisfied with plans without action!!!
Today is the first day in the year 2018, and you have already started creating your future today. You will never leave where you are only because you decide so, you will leave where you are only when your desires translates to work. The moment you move from decision making to decision managing is the moment your world will change.
Holiday is over, it's time to get started with your 2018 goals. Go buddy! Get to work!!
Do whatever it takes to get out of your comfort zone. Don't manage a bad situation this year, get out of it!
