Greetings!
One thing that is certain and constant is change, change is the the most constant factor that can happen to any human or person no matter whom you are. So, change is one thing everyone must embrace for personal development to take place. When talking about change, it's a broad word that has everything in it. When you talk of physical growth, then change should be talked about. Also, when talking about the spiritual growth, change should be at the center. What of emotional growth? Emotional growth happens in ones life when the change factor comes into ones life. There's financial growth, character growth and so on. But one thing I should not forget to tell us is that, not all changes are positive, some are not. We have negative form of change where people change from their good side to being the worst person. It all depends all the side of change we all queue into or embrace. Change is just a factor that takes us from where we used to be to another realm of our lives.
One other thing is that change is not particular to human alone, when we look at our society, we can see the tremendous changes that has taken place. Year in year out, the society or environment is taking a new long and shape. That's a environmental change, there's also what we call climatic change, we also have change in economy and other government policies. These are changes that may have direct or indirect impact on human race. But this is not where I'm actually going.
To start with, we are now in a new year, which is a swift or change from the old year to the new year, this is actually a change of baton from the old year 2024 to the new year 2025. So, looking back into the previous year, there's series of event and personal lifestyles that I have been living and that are not that good for my growth and development. So, before the end of the last year, I have decided to do away with all those acts and let bygones be bygones with the outgone year 2024 and going or coming into the new year 2025, I have decided to embrace change and to living a new life that will not follow the pattern of the kind of life I have been living in the past years. Though, I have made series of resolutions in the past that I could not follow to the latter. But this year, I have decided to embrace those little changes that I think will shaping my life and make me a better person in the no distance time or even in the nearest future. So, what are the little changes I have decided to embrace?
One of those changes is to be strong and courage in all my affairs in this new year. Like I said earlier, I'm ready to embrace change and one of the ways is to be strong and courageous. In the past year, fear was the order of the day in my life. Seriously, almost all through the last year, I was in fear and anxiety gripped me to the brim and this really down my morale and set me back a thousand mile and I was unproductive in most of my endeavors. This can be seen in almost all my investment like year that lead to series of loss. But this year, I have decided to take the bull by the horn and face the challenges of life squarely with my arsenals of strength and courage. And I believe this will seriously be of help to me at the long run.
Another change I wish to embrace is precrastination which is the opposite of procrastination. One of those things that affected my productivity last year was procrastination where I postponed doing things to another time. Seriously, this really affected me even to the extent that lost a very big supply. I happened to be a supplier of granite and stone dust. So, on that a particular day, a customer who's a contractor called to ask for a price and I told him to call back for the price after I would have make a quotation of everything about the supply. So, as the man hung the call, I was doing another and promised myself to doing the quotation later in the day, it was not long before the man called back and I told him that I have not done the calculation, and the man got angry and told me not to bother again. This is how procrastination affected me of supplying a contract worth million of naira. So, I have since then decided to embrace precrastination as a change in my life.
Talking about the little change to be embrace this year, I have also decided to be proactive in all my doings. Being reactive has really affected me and drew me back on so many occasions in the year 2024, so, coming into the new year, I have made up my mind to be proactive in my dealings with people. And I'm very sure this will go a long way to developing me.
Lastly, I want to embrace love as a new way of life. Though, it's not that I don't show love to people, but atimes my showing of love is all about give and take. Bit now, I don't want my love to be that conditional one but the real love that will beuild not only me but the entire society we all live in.
So, change(es) is an integral part of human life that should not be joke with and if there's anybody that want growth and development in life. You must assess yourself and embrace change where needs be.
