Don't Postpone 2022

One of the things that give great happiness in life is looking back to a time in the past and seeing that you did all you were supposed to do then. It gives great pleasure to achieve a worthy goal within a time boundary that was set for it. If you have not learned the discipline of setting deadlines for yourself to achieve a goal and keeping to it, you may end up achieving less than you could year after year.

One of the most challenging and inspiring statements in the bible is what Paul said of himself before his departure from this world: 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith' (2 Timothy 4:7). Oh how much I desire to live my life every day in such a way that I can look back and say exactly the same words Paul said: 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith'. This year is such a great opportunity for us to walk towards achieving a worthy goal.

There is a course to be finished this year, there is a battle to be won, there is value to add, and there is a worthy goal to be achieved. You don't have to pass through this year not knowing what became of the year. We have to make the year count. We should! And we have to start right now. Don't wait until the second half of the year or sometime in the future to start working towards your desired result. Start now! January is already past and before you know it, February too will be gone. Start now if you've not started.

It takes determination to eat the frog, but we all have the capacity to be determined. So I say to you in the words of Brian Tracy, 'Eat that frog'. Say no to further procrastinating. Take a step towards your dream. Sometimes God is just waiting for us to make a move and we would see amazing miracles. Don't continue to wait for a perfect condition. The bible says: 'If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.' (Ecclesiastes 11:4)

What is your desire for this year? You can achieve it. You can and I would like you to say to yourself, 'I can'. What have you been postponing every other year? Maybe you should not postpone it again this year. Maybe you should start working towards making it a reality right now. Be determined. Be focused. Refuse to be distracted. Refuse to waste the time you have available to you. Don't live your life waiting for the perfect year. There is neither a good year nor a bad year, what will become of you in a year depends mainly on two major things: what you bring into the year and what you do within the year. Do something worthwhile this year! Don't postpone your goals for 2022.
