Hello and eku deede iwoyi o! It`s already February everybody!
I
will like to follow up on last month`s write-up with this because they work hand
in hand.
Anytime
a person doesn`t know what his priorities are, he can find himself in trouble
because he is liable to make poor decisions. German Poet John Wolfgang said, “Things that matter most must never be at
the mercy of things that matter least.” I must admit this has been an area
of weakness for me such as pleasing people at my expense. I experienced a crisis
that caused me to come to grips with my priorities.
What
are your priorities? I once asked my students this question and I want to ask
you; In fifty or a hundred years from now what are you doing now, that will still be important?
The house you live in, the car you drive, the position you hold, the money you
have, etc. won`t mean much. What really matters? I encourage you to work hard to
keep unimportant from becoming important and vise vasa. I must tell you
that the secret of your success, depending on what the definition of success is
to you, is determined by your daily agenda. It boils down to what you do today.
Every day of our life is merely preparation for the next. Each is a process.
Growth, success, and fulfillment come from making wise decisions on the priorities for your life and managing them well daily. You need to know what priorities to set for every aspect of your life. It is also necessary to be disciplined and persevere to be able to maintain it and avoid distractions daily.
We
celebrate you if you were born in February. May you always follow your own unique path when
walking through this life's journey!
Have a wonderful month everyone! Stay safe, get vaccinated, or get the booster shot as soon as it`s available, stay strong, mask up, and stay healthy.
