It's almost like a dream; 2018 is here! Some time ago this seemed so far away but here it is, moving gradually along. That's the beauty of time and planning for the future.
It's great to plan ahead but we must also realise that soon enough time catches up with us. What then happens to our plans?
As you go into 2018, dare to do things differently! Instead of religiously penning down your goals, work on the strategies you will use to fulfill them. Consider these:
- Firstly, are your goals life goals? Are they things stirred up from within you that you are certain are closely knitted with your dreams and visions? If you are not sure then it's best to first review them.
- Secondly, how can you achieve them? Where have you failed in the past? What did you learn from your past mistakes and how will you apply those lessons to your present?
- Thirdly, what strategic steps can you take to move you closer to achieving your goals? Where do you need to go, who do you need to meet and what do you need to learn?
- Fourthly, ACT! Procrastination is indeed the 'thief of time'. You can only succeed if you try, you can only win a race if you compete and run!
No matter the disappointments you may have had in previous years, believe and be assured that this year CAN and WILL be different! Nevertheless, beyond wishful thinking, be prepared to play your part for this dream to become a reality!
Believe in yourself and make the best of 2018.
Best wishes!
