Beyond the new year 2022, make and live the brand-new resolutions

The long-awaited year, 2022 is here, lets embrace it with hope, determination, and optimism that all will go well as planned. It is the time of the year when the most talked of thing is the resolutions that we make as we start living the year. Statistics differ on the efficiency and the need for developing the resolutions in the first place, but one thing is clear, resolutions, which form part of a vision, are biblical. In the Habakkuk chapter 2 verses 2 -3, the Lord God tells Habakkuk the prophet to write down his vision in bold letters so that a boy on errand can read them. The book notes that the vision is for a moment, it will not tally, but will come to pass. One reason I advocate for resolutions is that once you have set your eyes or mind to something, you must achieve it. You get what you see and imagine. Scholars have pointed out the power of imagination above the prevailing situations and as such, Kenyans must be imaginative and create that imagination they have about the country. Imagination is key to success and to good behaviour that we need in this year and beyond. I have five major resolutions I urge Kenyans to embrace. One this year read books because they are good for your brain. Reading improves your memory and also your concentration rates. The stomach requires food, the brain requires books and the spirit in you requires spiritual food.

Secondly, go to places you have never been to whether locally or internationally. With COVID 19 still with us, take the opportunity to sample what Kenya has to offer, hence promote local tourism. This will enhance our income levels and also create jobs for our fellow citizens. Traveling to new places good for the soul and will make you to learn new things. Thirdly, volunteer for your own mental and physical fitness. This enables you to do some kind and selfless things to others. Tie this up with donating what you have to others. Fourth, adopt healthy lifestyles – drinking lots of water, exercising, walking more since the government has put up many Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) facilities, avoid grudges and avoiding negativities. Fifth, save more since savings = investments = development.
