As we approach the end of 2018, many of us start to plan and think
for a new and better year ahead. Wherever you live, whatever your financial situation
is and no matter how difficult your environment (work, family) is, I want you
to know that there will always be a chance for new beginnings.
On a professional level, think and create a strategy. What is a
strategy?
It is a detailed plan that guides you towards your goal. Find out
what is your ultimate goal this year and work to achieve it. Remember this: “We
never achieve by dreaming, we dream and work hard and achieve”. So do not sit
in your office and dream of a better future, it will not take you anywhere. You
have to set up a monthly plan, execute it and EVALUATE it.
On personal level, try to cooperate with your environment
Make extra efforts to love everyone around you. Believe me there is
nothing more powerful than LOVE.
If you have someone who bothers you constantly, try to speak to
him/her and if you are afraid of their reactions, try inviting them outside your
work environment for a coffee or drink or even movies and you will get to know
them closely and by knowing more people you will develop the perfect skills in
dealing with them.
If you were in a relationship, try to push your relationship to the
next level. Think of the little small details that will make your partner smile
and happy. Remember it is not always about how much you spend, it’s about how
much happiness you can achieve with your loved ones.
And for the rest of the year, try to do these little
recommendations at least once / year:
1- Have Faith? Practice it!
No matter what religion you believe in, even if you were atheist,
you still believe in something spiritual… visit that place that means a lot to
you and makes you feel at ease with yourself and visit it more often. Try to
find peace because it will not find you.
2- Tell people you love,
that you love them.
If you can’t find at least one person to tell him/her “I Love You”
then we need to talk!
Find that person you love and express yourself. You never know what
the future hides…
3- Buy a plant.
If you want to make your environment a better one, bring more oxygen
to it. Find a nice plant that you like, buy it and take good care of it.
4- Start planning for your
retirement.
Did you setup a retirement plan? Not yet, then what are you waiting
for?
There are many ways where you can start a saving plan or life
insurance with a saving plan to guarantee a better retirement. If you don’t
think about yourself at this level, think of your family and people around you.
The better you are, the better they will be.
5- Spend more time with your
best friend.
Not any friends, those who really ask about you, care about you and
wish you happiness and love. You will know them very well. Try to call them and
ask to see them more frequently you will end up with a smile on your face.
6- Medical Check-up is a
necessity.
If you were a millionaire and your health is Poor then you have
nothing at all. A good health needs to be maintained well and to achieve it you
need to do regular medical check-ups in order to see how your body is
functioning and in order to understand it more as you get old with time.
7- Do sports
I know you will say: tomorrow starts my DIET! But until then, take
a decision to walk at least for 30 minutes daily or do some home exercises if
you do not have the time to go to GYM. Do not become a “6 pack freak” no. but
at least burn the extra fat you got especially during the last two weeks!! (It’s
CHRISTMAS)!
Until then, I will come back to ask you next year: What have you
done to make your 2019 a better year?
Happy New Year and Happy New Start.
