Being Resolute

In our quest to success and living our dreams, things might not quite go well in out direction. Things might not quickly be the way we want it to be. However, if there is anything we have to remember, it it the fact that we have to re-assure ourselves about the goal before us.

So many of us have heard about 'the new year resolution'. As good as that sounds, it doesn't imply there won't be challenges all along. There will be tough times, and the earlier we come to terms with this fact, the better our chances at winning over every battle ahead of us.

This implies there will be disappointments, but let me tell you, there is no disappointment worthy of incapacitating you of reaching your goals. Yes, no challenges, trials and tribulations are worth giving up on our goals for this year.

As we set out this year, having our eyes on our goals and plans, let not those 'trying' times get you unaware. Because they will simply come! It's a fact of life. And I'll have to reiterate it here, having challenges and trial times doesn't make you a failure, it shouldn't make you feel less of yourself or make you feel bad about yourself. We all have challenges, and the more challenges you face, the more glory it is that lies ahead of you. Challenges simply depicts you're human. The more the glory if a thing, the more the challenges the goes with it. So get ready!

As such, you have to be totally resolute, unshakable and unwavering in all of your actions and decisions this year. Wish you all the very best!

Why you shouldn't give up yet.

If you give up on your dream, then you probably do not know how close you're to fulfilling it. Sounds familiar? While there may just be several reasons to stop doing those little acts you consider ain't taking you to your desired height, it still becomes pertinent not to ever give up on your dreams cause you don't know when, where and how it might just pay off someday, somehow, somewhere.

Being successful in a chosen field, requires discipline. It doesn't just come up without you putting in some dent of hard work.

Get your perspective right.

What is the essence of our lives? I kept pondering over this question as I start out my day. So many thoughts at the same time, what is the apex of our existence? Or is there none at all? Perhaps, is there more to life than what we go through everyday?

Our existence here on earth connotes some reasonable deep thoughts why we should carefully examine how we live it. Sometimes, people think, they got it all when they've acquired lots of wealth, but at that point they realise with more wealth comes more responsibilities, and consequently, more problems. On the other hand, also, a low income earner complains about how he doesn't have all the money, but there he is, he wants more.

Mission

More often than not, we get so carried away, claiming we are busy, but in the real sense of it, we're only 'busy doing nothing'! Have you ever find yourself doing what everyone does around? Doing what is trendy? What is in vogue? Or do you even mention such statement as "that is what everyone is doing?" When you do things because that is what everyone is doing, you're not yet living your purpose. There is need to find out who you're.

One of the most important questions an individual can ever ask him/herself is the question of 'Why?'. Finding out the essence of our lives here adds more meaning to it. This translates to living a more focused life. With right focus and concerted energy on the appropriate things, life becomes more worthwhile, fulfilled and success takes less time to achieve.

Identity and Clique

Our life wouldn't have been so complicated, if some of us would have taken time to be real. It takes a lot of energy trying to be who we're not. It involves a lot of time trying to fit into an identity that is not ours, which in itself is such a fruitless effort.

There is no shortcut to success, except this one principle of being oneself. No wonder, when we take on an identity of ours, we flawlessly do those things which we wanted to do, because it's been part of us. When we engage in an activity that is inner driven, we are more resolute in whatever we do.
