2023 is a year many persons have been waiting for. Asides it being a year Nigeria shall be holding its general elections, some persons have also mapped out strategic plans they desire to achieve in this New Year. However the goals we have set out to achieve, there are certain things we must do to achieve a blissful year. Let's take a look at some of these things.
Embrace opportunities
In the attainment of your goals, there are several opportunities that will abound. Inasmuch as we are all chasing the big bag, starting small is not a bad idea also. In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, the master didn't give his servants the same number of talents. While the first man got five talents, the second got two, while the last man got one talent.
It is pertinent to note that the men with five and two talents doubled theirs, while the man with one talent did not use his. His reason was that his talent was too small. This story brings us to the understanding that we can make a meaning and success out of every opportunity we are given, regardless of how small or big.
Be grateful
The importance of gratitude cannot be overemphasized. The Bible says that in everything, give thanks. No matter how challenging 2022 must have been for you, you still have to thank God you made it to the New Year. Do not spend much time looking at the things you didn't achieve and forgetting the ones you achieved. Being alive means that there is still hope for a better tomorrow.
Be diligent
For you to achieve your goals this year, you must be diligent. Do not give room for laziness. The Bible says that faith without works is dead. Hence, as you are having faith in God for that business growth, make sure you are putting in all your best to that business. Ensure you turn up on time and invest quality time to that business. The effort you put into that business will determine how far it will go.
Build healthy friendships
You do not need large number of people as friends. Be deliberate about the kind of people you make as friends. If you are one who desires to grow spiritually and in every other aspect, let the kind of friends you make be drawn into that same direction. Make friendship with people who are of the same like mind with you.
Stay prayerful
Regardless of your achievements in life, you need to maintain constant communication with God. Pray without being weary. Pray when you are happy and when you are sad.
There is no limit to what to pray for and when to pray. Consistent prayers to God helps to build a relationship with Him. It is important to note that one does not have to pray when one needs something from God. A prayer of thanksgiving should be a lifestyle.
Have a wonderful 2023!
