Planning for the New Year

In a few days we will be 2023. 

Planning for the new year involves setting goals and creating a roadmap for achieving them. This includes setting personal and professional goals, budgeting, seeking support, and prioritizing self-care. Setting goals, reflecting, and making a plan can help you set yourself up for success and make the most of the year ahead. 

Below are some guide to help you prepare: 

1. Set goals: Consider what you want to achieve in the new year and make a list of specific, achievable goals. These can be personal goals, such as improving your health or learning a new skill, or professional goals, such as advancing in your career or starting a business. 

2. Create a plan: Develop a plan for how you will achieve your goals, including specific actions you will take, resources you will require, and a timeline for achieving them. 

3. Reflect on the past year: Take some time to reflect on the past year and think about what worked well and what could be improved upon. Use this information to inform your goals and plan for the new year. 

4. Make a budget: Determine how much money you have available to invest in your goals and create a budget to help you stay on track. Prioritize self-care: Make sure to prioritize self-care in your plan. This can include things like exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep to ensure you have the energy and focus to achieve your goals. 

5. Seek support: Consider seeking support from friends, family, or a coach or mentor to help you stay motivated and accountable as you work towards your goals. 

6. Be flexible: Be open to adjusting your plan as needed. Life can be unpredictable, and it's important to be flexible and adapt as circumstances change. 

My sincere thanks go out to you for being a part of my 2022. Let's make 2023 a memorable year. Happy new year in advance.

How Couples Can Resolve Loss of Income

Family's finances can become complicated when one member of the family is out of work. One of the parties is then responsible for caring for the rest of the family. There are three scenarios that can cause this to occur. The first aspect is the general unemployment state. This is the easiest part of the process because at least there is still the possibility that they will find employment regardless of how long it takes. Second, it is a result of long-term illness or permanent disability.

Many times in our journey through life we shift grounds on possibilities. Many times we have this great dream with "high belief", optimism and are so certain that nothing could stop us from achieving them but after a few circumstances ( or passage of time), we soon give up on those dreams. All the optimism soon die down. All the beliefs and high hopes are thrown away and most times we settle for mediocrity. The man that succeeds is the man who holds on till the end. The one who hopes against hope!   The one despite his circumstances or little success, maintains his confessions and positive attitude towards his dreams and aspirations.
