Season's greetings to you and your loved ones. If you can see and read this, that means you have successfully transitioned to the year 2023. I'm glad you made it to the new year. Thanks be to God for keeping us all.

It's been long I shared with you from my diary of daily lesson. The last time I shared something important with you, I believe you were blessed by that lesson.

Making the Most of the Year


Alright, it's a brand new year, and I am happy that this new year is loaded with goodies. However, if you want to enjoy the most of these goodies, you need to plan ahead. If you have not yet planned for the year, it is not too late; you can still do it now. The year is still young, and you can plan now.

I am quickly going to be talking about areas where you can set goals. Firstly, I want you to believe that plans or goals work. Believing that goal-setting is important is the starting point for taking advantage of the good things that this year holds. You must believe that setting goals is important.

Some people don't have the habit of planning their year, and that's why they miss opportunities to grow and achieve great things in the year. It's important to know that you may not achieve everything you set as goals, but going through the process is an achievement of an unachieved goal. So, don't be worried if it seems you have set goals before and didn't achieve them. If you went through the process of achieving the goals you set, I want to assure you that it's not a waste of time because you have actually grown.

That said, I want to open your eyes to areas where you need to set goals.

There are many areas in which you can set goals for your life. Before adopting any style of method of goal setting, make sure you don't complicate. Goals may be two or three; just make sure you set them and don't complicate them. Most people use the SMART method (S = simple, M = measurable, A = accurate, R = realistic, and T = time-bound). You can adopt the style, too.

These are the areas you should look into when setting goals.

  1. Spirituality
    This area is very important. You should consider taking important steps to grow spiritually. Have you planned to read a chapter in the bible every day in the year 2023.

  2. personal development
    If you really want to grow in the year 2023, you must set goals in this area. What books do you need to read to grow? What tapes, podcasts, telecasts, etc. do you need to listen to? Make sure you know what you really need to do to grow.

  3. Career/Education/Business
    This area is also important. You need to advance your career. Do you need to attend seminars and workshops that will help you grow in your career?

  4. Finance
    If you want your financial life to change, then you need to make plans in this area. You can decide to set aside 5% of every dollar that comes into your hands in 2023. Do you need to start doing something that will serve as an alternative to what you are doing?
    Just look for a way to increase your savings and have multiple streams of income.

  5. Health
    Your health is very important. Most people don't plan to visit this area. It's when you are healthy that you can do what you want to do. So plan well in this area, too.

I hope you have taken one or two things from this post. You can use the comment box to make a contribution. Thank you.
