Another month is gone and a new one is here. I have three questions, three challenges and three suggestions to make this a great month ever.
The Three Questions:
Before you celebrate ENTRANCE into the new month, I invite you to first do serious reflection about your EXIT out of the past month by answering these three simple questions:
- What have you done in the last month that you can call fruitful and productive?
- Who (or what kind of person) have you progressively become as a result of your engagements in that period?
- What have you achieved that you truly proud of as the fruit of your labour, the work of your hands?
The Three Challenges:
Okay, so as you say HAPPY NEW MONTH these two to three days or so, allow me kindly pose these three challenges:
- Is “Happy New Month” just a mere WISH for the gods to swing a magic wand or a DECISION by you to make it a month worth celebrating, enjoying and cherishing?
- Are you just wishing things get better or choosing to make them better? If all wishes were horses…!
- Are you hoping that the month somehow brings good news or it is a commitment to make right things happen rightly? Remember, hope is not a strategy.
The Three Questions:
As you ride on, what if you thought of acting on the following three suggestions?
- See what has NOT worked in the previous month(s), genuinely reflect on the possible causes, and carefully restrategize how to win in the new month. This needs to be in ALL aspects of your life such as financially, intellectually, spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally, professionally, to mention but a few.
- Specifically take another sharper look at your circle of friends. What kind are they? For example: Do they encourage or discourage you? Do they inspire good manners or model reckless living? Are they progressing in their own lives and flying higher like eagles or are they teaching you “The 5 Steps to Being a Duck”? Please take radical decisions in this area this month.
- Reconsider your time commitments this month. Are you going to invest your time or merely spend it? Is there going to be a high Return on Investment (ROI) on those meetings, parties and conferences you’re planning to be engaged in or it’s going to be a waste of precious time? Time is the greatest, non-renewable and most defiant resource. Lose this minute and it’s gone forever!
So, happy New month to me as I make it a happy New month through my deliberate actions, intentional choices and specifically planned moves. Happy month to you too if you have laid strategies for making strides forward and touching other lives in the process.
Otherwise this month will just be “The Month of Nothing” however much someone encourages you that it is going to be a month of whatever: Exponential Growth, Double Blessings, Financial Abundance, Marital Bliss, Social Impact, 3 Miracles, Academic Wonders, Unexpected Promotion, or Instant Turnaround!
Things don’t just happen; you go out there and make them happen. You can do that this month. Like the title of one of my books says, YOU WILL MANAGE.
