Keeping the goals and resolutions

Hello distinguished readers of Talkasphere, it's  nice having you here again in 2016. Welcome on board the 2016 flight. 

The year is still quite early and in the spirit of the season, a lot of people are still enthusiastic about their new year resolutions but will this be the case in a couple of months? 

I am sure that in time past, a lot of us may have started past years with so much positive energy ready to take on the world but watched our enthusiasm wither at some point. Ever wondered why? 

The reoccurring question is, why do people begin the year  with such overwhelming eagerness and lose the positive energy half way into the year? 

Let's talk about the goals we set. 

How about setting realistic goals for a start? 

The reason most people get stuck and then discouraged is because they set outrageous goals for the year. Someone  may want to call it faith but even the Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct. For example, your 2016 goal cannot be to buy yourself a mansion somewhere in Lekki when you have made zero plans on getting a source of income. Big dreams, small plans leads to a big break down. Take one steady step at a time. It will eventually get you where you are headed. 

Point is, your goals and resolutions must meet with equal work. Try discipline, determination and hard-work in relation to those goals and resolutions and see how far it takes you. 

Even the word "Impossible" says "I'm possible". Impossible is a lazy man's anthem. 

Set your goals and go for them. 

Keep the fire burning. 

As 2015 bows out

 With the year 2015 very rapidly coming to an end, a lot of people are yet to wrap their heads around the fact that the year has gone by so fast.


2015 has been both good and awesome depending on where you are looking from. Those who know how to see the good in every situation already know it's been a great year.
Oh, it hasn't been perfect.
Yes, it came with it's fair share of disappointments and heartbreaks and pains but in all,  life lessons have been taught and learnt.

Knowing December for what it is, i know it's a time when  people tend to count more of their losses than their gains. All these wonderful things have happened throughout the year but people would rather focus on the things that could have been but didn't quite play out. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we let the disappointments of the past make the future look uncertain?  Why let so much negativity set it?

Truth is, there's nobody who has it easy. Little delays and challenges here and there but  in the end, don't let them defeat you. It's part of how life rubs off on you to make you stronger. So as 2015 gives way to 2016, learn to smile in the face of adversity.
Hold on tight, with your head held high and walk into 2016 determined to have the year unfold in your favour.  
Accept the things that have come to stay and change those you would rather not have. Set your goals and work hard enough to see them actualize.
Remember, Only those who run the race till the end are worthy of the prize. See every pain of the past as a stepping stone taking you closer to your dreams.

You can only do your best and leave  the rest to God. Utilize the rest of 2015 because when it's gone, you can never have it back.

Greater  2016 ahead. Cheers! 

Those Little Things

Life usually isn’t really as difficult as we like to imagine it is sometimes. Half the time, we struggle endlessly looking for what we already have right under our noses. This is because we fail to realize that not all the best things in life come in fancy and flashy packages.
Sometimes, we just need to dig a little deeper and look a little closer to find the best things. In most cases, while we spend all our time looking in seemingly promising places, we tend to overlook the solution to our challenges which we may have had right at the tip of our fingers from time immemorial.

So as i debut Talkaspherecom with this post (Though i can’t promise the mood of my posts will always be this serious. Thankfully! ), i would like to encourage us to pay a little more attention to those things we may have tagged “Small and insignificant” in our lives. Who knows where we’ll find our treasures?
Thanks a ton for visiting Talkaspherecom and for reading this post. Please visit often. If you are here, you care. What’s this post if you don’t read it anyway?
