!!! A NEW BEGINNING !!!

When dissatisfaction starts to set in, its a reminder to start a new beginning.A NEW BEGINNING
To start a new beginning, one must do the following:
1. FORGET THE PAST: whatever you were doing or have done that has brought about the present state of dissatisfaction, should be forgotten; but the lessons that came with it should not be forgotten. The reason for seeing the break of dawn is for you to be able to start again. Every new day presents you with the opportunity to become better.
2. TAKE A STAND/STANCE: You should decide what to do and what Ideas/Philosophies/Beliefs would serve as compass for you to navigate through this sea called "Life".
3. SET A VISION: Once a stance has been taken, you should set that which you intend to achieve with whatever it is you have set your mind to do. That which is set to be achieved is called 'VISION'. Remember: Until you see it before you see it, you'll never see it .
4. BEGIN THE JOURNEY: Just start with whatever plan you have been able to scheme out. Even in war where lives are at stake, there is always a plan 'B' and 'C' as back up cuz 'A' isn't expected to be perfect.
Never has there been a perfect plan and, so long as the only constant thing in life is change, there will never be.
Begin and grow in it; the best way to find fulfillment and get personal development is in the process. If Apple didn't start with their first ever iPhone, there still wouldn't have been an iPhone 'X MAX' by now. Dangote will concur with me; had he not started when he started, 'Dangote Group' would still be looking for the perfect plan to start BIG.
5. NEVER STOP LEARNING: The world around you is controlled by the activities of men, and the beauty of it(the world) is in our diversities. Tony Robbins was said to always say, "All personal breakthrough begins with a change in beliefs." I have also come to realize that one's belief/religion isn't the constitution of the world neither is the foundation of the world built on one's ideas. Just keep learning, unlearning and relearning, it helps you know when and how to position yourself for a worthy adventure; just like sailors adjust sails to align with the waves and tides for a smooth sail on a rough sea.
That said, there are some values/laws that can/will never change; they're the laws of nature. They're universal, and produce same results wherever they are applied. KNOW and HOLD on to them.
6. LIVE NOT IN YOUR ILLUSIONS: Though, as believers, it's beautiful to always confess/pronounce things as good, it's worst to throw a deaf ear to the alarm meant to wake us up, and devilish to form, like it's said in the military; "NOT seeing" to the glaring signs that shine so bright like the fire in the burning bush which Moses couldn't stare at. See things as they are in your head, it helps to have a direction of purpose, but never wish away the reality; work to see that which is in your head and when the need be, change or adjust your plans.
7. NEVER FORGET THE VISION: when the going becomes so SMOOTH and BEAUTIFUL or ROUGH and TOUGH, it becomes easy to forget the vision as you might get carried away with whatever the reality is, be it ROUGH and TOUGH or SMOOTH and BEAUTIFUL. No matter what it seems, never lose touch with the set VISION for the beauty of a vision is in the process, NOT the destination.
8. HAVE HOPE AND NEVER LOSE IT: "Hope" they say, "is like the sun; you NOT seeing it, does NOT mean it's NOT out there." This saying is as real as the fact that you need a new beginning. If hope is as hot as melting iron, please hold on to it until the gain kills the pain. "There is light at the end of the tunnel." is an old saying that keeps hope alive but I tell you, so long as "you are the light of the world"; hope will make you light up the tunnel, not just wait for that at the end of it. Hope should be to you what petrol is to fire; make you want to burn more.
9. HAVE FAITH: At the hearing of this word-FAITH, religion comes to mind, and that has made many atheist say it's NOT a word for them as they don't believe in God. I end up laughing at them for their ignorance. How did FAITH suddenly become a religious word? The fact that the first place you heard the word was in your religious centers doesn't mean it's a religious word. If Abraham didn't have "Firmness About Invisible Things Happening", Israel wouldn't have been.
I so so agree with Dr. Harry Paul Benjamin who "racronymized" FAITH to mean: FIRMNESS ABOUT INVISIBLE THINGS HAPPENING. When you have "Firmness About Invisible Things Happening", even when things seem not as you have seen it in your spirit, the power of your positive mindset keeps kicking you ahead like footballers do the ball when searching for a goal.
MAY YOUR EVERY POSITIVE MOVE YIELD FRUITS AND BRING YOU PEACE OF MIND. 🙏AMEN!🙏
THAT GREAT LIFE IS ACHIEVABLE, NEVER YOU GIVE UP!
