There is a time for everything. 2013 folded on Tuesday, and
Wednesday ushered in a New Year; a new time to formulate fresh winning
strategies that should make 2014 the best year of our lives
It
will not come easy because life is a battlefield. Again and again we
shall be thrown down, but being down is not being out. I mastered this
lesson on my way to Mbarara last year. I saw a valley that had been
razed by fire, leaving it desolate with ash. When I passed by a few
weeks later, I was amazed to find that new papyrus reeds had shot up
with unstoppable vigour. Immediately my perceptiveness told me that if
you have roots that go deep, nothing can destroy you.
I am talking about the roots of wisdom and skills, action and hope and focus. There will be moments of betrayal and frustration, of sickness and brokenness and such tough times that try men's souls. But the waves will not prevail if you don't give up. You will become stronger after every challenge with the right mental frame to handle the crown that is the reward of true champs.
Hopefully you took stock of last year, and as news anchor Josephine Karungi Musisi said, "got into 2014 with a garden free of weeds" after uprooting the "riffraff". The riffraff are the things that obstruct progress; things like a negative attitude, wrong influences, procrastination, fear and lack of knowledge.
It is time to put on the winning dress. It begins with thinking about and writing down what you would like to achieve and how you will go about it. Thereafter all you meditations, actions and relations should be in alignment with your desired destiny.
This means adjustments must be made in one's life. The old moves and habits which did not translate to the expected fruits must be buried. If you want to harvest two sacks of maize from the same plot of land that gave you one sack last year, you must first fertilize that land with manure, plant better seeds, and be at hand to fight the couch grass that will try to compete for water with your maize shoots.
In all, have a practical masterplan. Finney Ongole who at the age of 20 wrote a fantastic book titled Understanding the Seasons of Life, reveals his success secret: "In my own life, besides my annual resolutions, I make a personal growth plan monthly and a weekly resolution and daily to-do list."
May 2014 be very fruitful for us.
