Excuse the heading…by saying starting it high, this does not
mean the “high” where one is drugged or drunk (by alcohol or the Holy Spirit)
Well, happy New Year y’all!!! Well well well, the New Year
is here and this is a chance to yes, make another difference in your existence
as a human being (yay!). Last year, 2013 is so gone and here is another year. I
know we all got our resolutions; speaking of resolutions, I know people claim
they write some down, either due to social pressure or otherwise. Anyhu,
whether we write them down or not, we all have goals or targets that we want to
achieve in the New Year.
As I think of writing this, I am in a salon. Well ladies, we
all know how entertaining salons are; this is one place where some women think
they have gone for therapy sessions. Gossips, updates, praise, judgments, those
juicy details you would never hear anywhere else, you will hear in a salon. Anyway,
this day I decided to change where I have my hair made. So as we are getting
our hair done, this woman goes ahead to rant about how 2013 was a fail for her,
how she failed in this and in that, how her heart was broken…and as expected,
how broke she was. *sigh* she went ahead to state that she does not expect
anything to change in 2014, that she will be more miserable in 2014, with VAT
and cost of living so high. I shook my head. Believe you me, that will happen
to her (yeah, I’m a prophet of doom on this one).
In life, they say, aim for the stars…no, the moon, so that
if you fall, you will fall on the stars. (is that possible in reality?) Most of
us set targets that are too low for us. The fear that we have of failing or of
not achieving our goals makes us set goals that we can easily reach. Come on;
challenge yourself!! Last year, I heard someone say that he had vowed to buy
themselves a phone worth 20 thousand shillings. He outdid himself actually, and
bought one 28,000/=.
What is my point? This year, as we start, challenge
yourself. Set goals that are high but attainable. OK, don’t aim at buying a Mercedes
yet you live in your mother’s house, or aim at getting married this year and
you are single (lol). You get me? In statistics
(yes, I had to chip in something statistical he he) they say that standard
deviation decreases with increase in the number of trials. For those not statistically
inclined, this means that the more you try, the higher the probability (there I
go again), I mean chances of you getting closer to what you want.
Don’t be afraid of getting disappointed, you never know, you
just might get there; if and only if, you focus and balance your life. With that
said, welcome to 2014, lets aim high, let’s start high and make this a year of difference!!
To a great year ahead *cheers*
