Ok! So we are counting a few days to 2017! Maybe someone is as excited, expectant and eager
as I am...Yeah, I know 2016 has been an adventurous one, full of ups and downs, challenges,exciting moments, victories, we've had disappointments, missed some opportunities and on and on, however, we are grateful to God for all!!!

In preparing for the new year(2017), how do we make ourselves better? what do we do to achieve more of our big plans and dreams than we did this year? What do we do to get more closer to God? How do we have better relationships next year? I'm sure these questions have popped through our minds lately, some of us have found answers, some of us have not.I'm going to put up a few things here that could serve as answers to our questions.

*Count your blessings: First thing first, Have you sat down to count your blessings through the year and give thanks to God? Have you been complaining about the mistakes,challenges and all? Why not for a moment pick a pen and a notepad and jot down all your blessings and be grateful to God...The grateful ones receive more!

*Do a review! : If you had your goals for 2016 written down, check them and see what you have accomplished and what you have not. Think about how you were able to accomplish them and for those you've not achieved, figure out the obstructions and challenges. 

*Amend and strategize: It doesn't end at reviewing, you can take the next step of making amendments. If it's in relationships, put a call through to that beloved one and put things right. How about making new strategies to accomplish those outstanding goals? 

*Set new goals! You know right?(Smiles) I'm not interested in repeating what you already know, but I'm concerned about how we set our goals and the kind of goals we set. Set spiritual goals, financial goals, friendship goals, career/academic goals, business goals.Write them down, write down how you intend achieving them. The purpose for writing down is to serve as a reminder. At times we say we have a lot of dreams but there is no means to achieve them, that's why it's important to strategize and make plans. However, don't rely solely on what you can do, turn to God for help.

*Be optimistic: It doesn't work like magic, yes I know. Success begins with the mind. Work on your mind dear, see possibilities in your dreams, speak possibilities. If you believe you can, you will. Put on confidence and courage. A God-conceived idea is never a bad one and He knows you can achieve them, that's why He dropped it in your mind.

*Surround yourself with good people: Our friends and associates determine a lot. Don't let people discourage you, associate with people that can encourage you, people that will push you when you are giving up.

*Smile more and stay healthy! : It's a step at a time. Smile more, eat healthy meals, laugh more, take more rest. Don't worry dear, it's gonna be an awesome year!

Patiently waiting to hear our  testimonies!

Wish you all a smooth sailing through 2017!
