FINISHING THE RACE FROM THE BEGINNING

Champions do not become champions when they

win the event, but rather in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.-- T. Alan Armstrong. 

It is of no use to start any race knowing very well that you will not finish it on a good note. It saddens my heart to see people faint and fall by the roadside in life when others are still moving forward. Most of the time, winners of any race knew that they will surely win because they knew the amount of relentless efforts that have gone into their preparatory stages.  Battles and races are won at home and declared at the battle field. He who goes to the battle field to train is a defeated fellow because all your energies will dissipate. Strategy is what is needed. Here are a few things to do to achieve your vision in this year.

1.      Prayer: You should be able to evoke the presence of God in order to download His will for a definite direction. You cannot start a new year without prayer and be expecting signs and wonders to follow you in all that you do.  

2.      Planning: This is one of the non-negotiable elements of success in life. Man, you’ve got to sit down and plan your life after praying to receive divine wisdom, understanding and direction. Many people spend so many years planning their weddings, birthdays and anniversaries to celebrate it in grand style but hardly sit down to plan their own lives.no wonder so many people are living unfulfilled lives.

3.      Preparations: Success is easily clocked when preparations meet opportunities. Without preparations, you will be taken unaware and you will have yourself to blame for failing to achieve your goals. You can’t get it if you are not prepared for it!

4.      Proceed in Action: It is not enough to pray, but after that plan, prepare and take action. Actions will release your dreams and visions from the abstract state into realities. Without proper actions, your dreams will forever be on paper and in your minds.

5.      Progress Monitoring: A life lived without evaluation is not worth living. You must continually monitor your progress to check whether you are on track. This will assist you to correct deviations and measure your performance against standards.

Your destiny is in your own hands. You have the right to succeed or fail. If only you can finish the race, then it depends on the true elements forming the basis and foundations of your dream.
