7 Deliberate Ways to Start 2019 by being Patient and Trusting your Journey by Mobolaji Atolagbe

Kenneth lay in bed and did not feel like going out. He just lay under the covers scrolling through the New Year celebration messages that his friends were putting up, he will swap from Whatsapp Status to Instagram stories and finally settled endlessly scrolling through Facebook posts. He felt left out and had nothing to celebrate.

The above story is typical of many people, who look into the New Year and something in their heart makes them feel inadequate. It might be due to their singlehood, they still have not found the love they seek? Maybe it’s because they are unemployed or need an improvement in their finances.

These points below will let you realize life is neither black nor white but rather a cocktail containing components of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

1. Being alive every day is a Gift

The fact that you are alive today and reading this shows there is a purpose for your life. Thousands of people went to bed and never woke. No matter how bad it is, because you are alive, there is a possibility for things to work for your good. When you wake every day, have a positive mindset that things will align in your favor.

Focus on the little things you have an attack every day with renewed vigor.

“Any day above ground is a good day. Before you complain about anything, be thankful for your life and the things that are still going well.”

― Germany Kent

2. There is NO ‘There’

There is really no destination in life. Each day comes with different goals and challenges.

An instance can be a hard working lady who thinks getting married will make her life easier and better not knowing each step in life comes with its own baggage. After hitching a husband, then comes children and then more need for expansion financially or otherwise. There is a continuous struggle for improvement.

There is no end till the very end and things can change at any time. Never stack all your life on one goal or success.

Life is about continuous growth and improvement.
