I wonder if
people do things perfectly in January. I am guessing that it is the
month where you have the most motivated people in the world and certainly the
most hopeful. Who doesn't want everything right in the first month of the year?
Especially after all the prosperity talk of the watch night services, the
all-night prayers and candid resolutions made. All the positive vibes can be
very catchy; you just want to break into dance from all the positive
energy. A new year certainly brings
hope. We certainly do not want to ‘occupy’ anything in January 2013 or any
other month of this year and I am praying that here in Nigeria and around the
world, there are no natural disasters or man-made ones for that matter. Let’s lock
it up in 2012 (I am starting to feel like a preacher. Preach it Sister). The
end of something gives a kind of closure to it and the beginning gives a fresh
start. It is always refreshing to start all over. If people were given the
opportunity to start their entire life again, I am sure many would take it. I
might.
Some people say
‘if you start well, you will end well’. If you have lived life as you should
you would know that starting something is not an indication that you would
finish it. The elements between the start and the finish connect the dots. The
human elements include having a good justification for doing something, adequate
planning, hard work and smart work etc,
and the spiritual element I know about (that works) is constant prayer (to God
almighty). If you find any ‘baba’ or friend that tells you he can do something better,
just go watch the really old Nollywood movies. They will inform you of all the
possible ways a ‘baba’ can screw you up.
If your year has not started well (even though
day one is not over), do not fret. Just take it one day at a time. My slogan for
this year is ‘No pain, No gain’.
I join everyone,
with a hopeful heart, to wish you well beyond your imagination.
Happy New Year.
