Let us re-strategize and re-plan for greater success in 2023 as 2022 comes to an end

The end of the year provides an opportunity to evaluate our achievements and losses for the year, which enables us to draw an action plan for the coming year. Six things will be key for this exercise. First, be grateful and show gratitude to the almighty God, and to people who have been of remarkable influence to you, because gratitude brings wholesomeness, healing and more success. This is supported by the Bible in Luke 17: 11-19, from the story of the 10 lepers who were healed by Jesus and only one came back to show gratitude, and whose sins were forgiven and healed! Secondly, critically evaluate your achievements of the year. Celebrate any win and victories recorded, whether small or big. This is because every win is important and it’s the magic that makes your mind ready for the next battle. Thirdly, declutter your life and environment including you’re the house you live in, your home, office, and social circles. Some of the friends you have had in the year may not be what you need going forward. You are an average of the five people that you spend most of the time with and hence ensure these circles includes people who challenge and motivate you to do more. Ensure that your mind is free from anything that hinders you from greater success, ensure you tap into the right mind frame for greater victory.

Fourthly, aspire for a healthy financial status through systematic reduction of debt, wealth creation, grow your savings, ensure that money works for you going forward and don’t compete with others but yourself. Fifth, face and walk into your dreams and imaginations for 2023 with boldness and confidence, don’t be shy of your challenges and where you need to be. This is because author Joseph Conrad quipped “facing it, always facing it, that is the way to get through, face it”.  After imagining and facing your dream life, draw an action plan to achieve your targets that will be your monitoring tool to keep you within the range of your desired life. Sixth, prepare to take up the many opportunities that will show up in 2023, because author Ayn Rand noted “the ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity”
