Things You Must Keep In Mind As You Set Out To Accomplish Your Set Goals For 2021

There’s this unexplainable sharp pain that you may have felt, if you had gone through your outlined goals for 2021 and realized that it was almost as if you dubbed the one you wrote for 2020. No need to feel terribly bad about it, because myself, the case isn’t anything too far from it.

For me, what I could do to ease up my back was to admit that, though the year 2020 was a year that I celebrate God, countless times over for making me survive, it wasn’t actually a year that I can boldly say that my jar of fulfilment got to the third quarter, let alone, filled to the brim.

So as there’s really no point crying over spilled milk, I thought it wise to put down my observations as well as share those indications (though some may seem not-so-significant) that contributed majorly to the ‘left-undone’ and ‘carried-over’ goals. And these are also tidbits that would be helpful, if not forgotten as we’re set to smash our goals this year. They include;

Unforseen Circumstances: In life’s situations, we can only put in efforts to do things and not force them to happen. This is due to the fact that not every situation is within our control. For instance, in the case of 2020, I’m so sure that if we had our way, we would have completely eliminated COVID-19 early enough, so that it wouldn’t have had to wreck havoc in most of our dealings, like it did. Likewise some other aspects of life. “Making it happen”, is a subject that lies within the confines of what we can do and not what we can’t. So some spheres of our lives that seemed to not have had much improvement in the year 2020 may not be any fault of ours. Because at some point, all we could do was to put things on hold and stick to the stipulated protocols in order to survive the pandemic.

Another thing we should know is that, reducing your goals wouldn’t automatically make you accomplish them, rather being delibrate and pressing harder will. So instead of limiting your dreams, decide to make a leap in accomplishing them.

Making decisions and sticking with them is also steps ahead, as indecision has a lot to do with stagnation, so instead of being stucked, because you feel you haven’t gotten much conviction you feel you ought to get, follow your passion and trust your grit. As long as it’s not something bad and it’s a way towards progress.

There’s this one more thing we can’t do away with, and that is, saving for the rainy days. This is one of the evident lessons of last year. So even if it seems that rain may fall the next day or even the next hour, still save and be sure you’re not the rain maker. Meaning, you shouldn’t be the one creating uneccessary expenses for yourself. In order words, know what you can afford and know what you can’t. There shouldn’t be any shame in that, as there’s definitely time for everything.

Finally, it is so important to always keep in mind that impossible is nothing, so keep your head up and your dream alive and live daily ensuring that your daily routines and the other things you do are steps towards making them come true. Like a good friend of mine once said, “nothing is easy and nothing is hard”, therefore, let’s just keep moving.
Cheers to you, smashing your set goals for 2021.

Have a fruitful and fulfilling 2021!!!
