2018 Goal setting and actualization

Its 2018!!!!!!! Happy new year. We all have high hopes and dreams for the new year. There are two types of people every year
a. Those who intend that 2018 will be more productive , who intend to achieve so much and be so much more than they've been all their lives , they intend to make it work it work against all odds.
b. Those who wish that 2018 will be a good year, they say things like, " 2018 please be good to me, 2018 please be good to my family"
The common ground for these two people is that they both make New year Resolutions. According to Wikipedia," New year's resolution is a person's resolve to change an undesired trait or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life"
Some resolutions popularly made by individuals are;

• To lose weight
• Save money
• Make investment
• Be closer to family and friends
• Improve in their education
• Improve in their job, skills or career
  good year, they say things like, " 2018 please be good to me, 2018 please be good to my family"
• Spend less time on TV ,and social media
• Eat cleaner
  These two sets of people at first, make these goals in their heads but the difference between them is that the first set of people take further steps,

a. They write down their goals in places they will see it always
b. They make the goals as realistic as possible
c. They plan, they break the goals down into quarterly targets or monthly targets
d. They evaluate themselves after every month to check their progress
e. They commit to each goal
The second set of people most times do not set realistic goals, they do not track their progress and before long they forget about it.

This is why we will always have two sets of people in the world , THE HAVE'S and THE HAVE NOT'S , THE RICH AND THE POOR, One set will always go beyond themselves to achieve their goals , while the other set , will keep wishing the year is good to them and by the end of the first quarter of the year, they start to blame the government, the economy, the school system, their family, and their village people lol, They blame everyone else but themselves for their failures that year, they refuse to take responsibility, take charge of their lives and make it work against all odds
It greatly behooves you to realize that no system was designed for your personal failure, if other people can make it irrespective of the economy, the government, the school system, their background, Then you don't have a valid excuse for not making it too.
This new year, Stop asking what the government , the schools will do for you and begin to ask "What can't I do for the government?". You complain that there are no jobs but how about you improve yourself , invest in yourself so much that you become a Job provider

Take responsibility of the things that happen in your life , the definition of adulthood is taking responsibility.
Invest in your personality, listen to the right people , think the right thoughts, and impact your world with the investment of your personality, motivate others to think like you, to aspire to your inspirations. T.L Osborn said, "Work on being and not on having , with what you are you will have". Don't work on having anything, work on being something and eventually people will pay to listen to you, to watch you , to read about you, to work with you.
Make a New Year Commitment, compete with your yesterday, not ur friends , compete with your past, It's a new year, a new opportunity to be bigger than yesterday, and I assure you Tomorrow will be better , the next day even better and the day after that, The whole will be as good as you make it
Use your mind , there's so much in there
Remember ...
