Hi there!
The Year begins with all of us having one aspiration or the other – The New Year Resolution! We see a lot of people announce within the first couple of days, their new year resolutions. We hear some say, “I will start the gym”, “I will pray more”, “I will rest better”, “I will drink less” and “I will save more”. Others may say, “this year I am going to get into school”, “I will get a job”, “I will improve upon my career”, “I will start a business” and “I will be a better friend”.
Whatever the Resolutions we think of and proclaim, it stems from an intention to improve. We desire these changes because there is an aspiration for Growth.
Desiring Growth demands a change! The desire to go to school requires you to begin to study. For wellness, the desire to make healthier options. When you desire financial stability, the desire to save more.
The desire to improve upon your career requires you to clearly engage yourself on the path that creates opportunities for promotion or even an entire change! When we look at these, we clearly see that we have the desire to change how things are, the “status quo”.
We are simply tired of the current point we are at on all the levels.
While these desires and aspirations sound great, the question is, do we have the required tools to see a positive and successful end to these proclamations? How often do we derail and fall on the way? How quick are we driven to give up? Why do we give up in the first place? Are there external forces hindering our success? Could it be our friends, co-workers and family?
The true answer is YOU! Yes, YOU! Look in the mirror and see the true reason why you are unable to reach the finish line. Regardless of what forces, reasons and circumstances that creep into our lives at various times, we have the power to stir those in the right direction!
Welcome to “The Nuggets for Growth”! Here we will share ideas, thoughts, tips and principles for overall Growth! For you to desire change, you must be willing to do something different!
For some of us, we already have what it takes to make the difference but are unable to harness it. For others, there is the need to create the environment with the appropriate tools.
Remember that you cannot continue to repeat same actions continuously and expect a different result!
Bearing in mind that a mile starts off with a step, you cannot reach it unless you get up! Therefore, do something that propels you to your growth, your finish line!
Remember, the Change you desire and deserve is YOU!
Let us create the Change we deserve!
