Is It really going to be your Year?
Keeping things on the straight and narrow, we hear it all the time this time of year, and maybe you have heard the same thing to of late, and let’s be totally honest it gets rather boring hearing the same thing every year coming from different people and sometimes the same person, it normally starts like this:
“IT’S GOING TO BE MY YEAR”
“THIS IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR”
I am sure you have also heard these tones to YES? Well there are a few things I have a problem with these words, what is it going to be your year for what.
You see if you have gathered momentum in doing something that you have been working yourself to get nearer and nearer towards being the finished article, then maybe it might be a great year for you, but if you just think you are going to wake up in 2020 and you don’t have no idea and don’t have a little Consistant plan going on, HOW the hell is going to be your year?
When you see the scholar graduating out of university, he has consistently been working on his studies and doing his dissertations, and turning up for lectures “Putting in study”
The fighter that you see delivering a “knockout Punch” or accumulating a point’s Win over his opponent, prior to the fight has been working on his punching technique for years
The Person who comes and tells you I have just passed my driving test, did not just turn up jump in the car, get told were to go, and get given the paper saying they have passed oh no that person learnt practised got consistent and developed good driving habits to enable an instructor to say then are safe and competent.
Now I have heard people for years including one person who told me he is going to be a millionaire by the time the year was done, now i asked him how, as he never had a skill, was not a drug dealer, had not been consistent at anything, but told me he was going to be a millionaire in 12 months, did he do it, unless he put every penny in the bank, then you know cause he didn’t, or brought a winning lottery ticket, cause it was not going to happen.
But it’s likely to be your year if you are Consistant at something, those bits of study, those educated boxing sessions, those little weekly gym sessions, those sessions you put in with a coach or trainer, the daily reduction in calories and healthy eating will help you lose weight and drop the fat. The daily or weekly moneys saving will enable you to go on holiday, those Consistant bits of noticed work you put in the office may not go unnoticed when it’s time for a promotion within the company or to take your business to another level if you are the BOSS.
So have something as to WHY it’s going to be your year, as if you are just making statements with no substance and action then it can be classed as a NON-START
Meaning of Non-starter as taken from the dictionary: a person or plan that has no chance of succeeding or being effective
Now ask yourself is it really going to be your year? it can be with a little action.
