5 Important Principles you must Live by to become better in 2023

Let’s just jump right into it.


1. Be careful what you say to yourself.

As 2023 unfolds, it is important for you to be careful of what conversation takes place within your head and in your mind. What you say to your self has more impact on you than you can imagine. What limiting beliefs held you back in the previous year? Do you still carry those same beliefs into the new year? You need to watch it and deliberately stop that conversation roaming in your mind.

2. Never ever compare yourself with anyone.

Thanks to social media, it helps you see how well you compare with others. Whichever way you look at it, comparing yourself with others will have a negative effect on your both emotionally and psychologically. You need to clear your mind and clear your compass. You need to have a clear clean standard for your life, and that’s definitely not social media. Let your daily goal in the new year be to become better than you were yesterday. Grow steadily and systematically. Draw inspiration from others but never ever compare yourself with others. Be happy, live happy and fulfilled and keep doing everyday better than you did in the previous day. Trust me, this is the fastest way to climb up the ladder to happiness, and progress and fulfilment.

3. Do something everyday to challenge your limiting beliefs

It is as simple as that. Identify the limiting beliefs you have of yourself and of your abilities and do something everyday that challenges those limiting beliefs. Do something everyday that chalenges the status quo. Do something everyday that makes a difference in your life. It is important to catch and identify those limiting beliefs because If you don’t, they will keep roaming in your subconsious mind and thoughts. So, make it a goal to identify those blocks and climb over them in the new year.

4. Invest in others

Investing in others is an important aspect of our lives. A life worth living is the life lived for others. Making a difference in the lives of others in the new year will leave you a sense of purpose and a sense of direction. Your success is not complete if it does not incorporate others. Let go of the selfish living of the previous year and deliberately do something to better the lives of others. 

“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” ― Dr. Seuss. 

Don’t miss the joy and fulfilment that comes from investing in the lives of others in the new year.

5. Take Responsibility for your life

This principle will be a game changer for you if you take it seriously in the new year. Enough of blaming others for your failures and misfortunes. Take charge of your life. Be proactive and control the narrative. Don’t be a victim of circumstances and take the bull by the horn. Even when the fault appears to come from others, accept the responsibility for not making sure they got their job done. Don’t fold your arms and earnestly wish things will become better. Instead, make deliberate efforts to take charge of your life, your future and your destiny.

See you on the brighter side of the new year.

The Secret to Success: Focus

What success may mean to one may be different from what success may mean to someone else. For an ex- student, success may mean gaining admission into a tertiary institution, while for a college student, it may mean getting a grade point sufficient enough to earn a first class or maintain a currently high CGPA. For a parent, it may mean giving her Children sound scriptural training in the way of the Lord. Success may also mean living a balanced Christian life; living a fulfilled stress - free life, or acquiring a skill for an independent financially self sufficient future life. Whatever the definition you give to success, Success is simply accomplishing your set goals and objectives. As wonderful and as necessary it is to succeed in life, it is important to note that there are innumerable distractions to success.  An Eagle with a keen vision There are a lot of reasons why people don't succeed. The reason is they are often distracted by ephemeral things. This shifts their ...

Keep a Journal; Make your Autobiography; Write a book.

Proverbs 10:14 KJV "Wise men lay up knowledge:..." The word "lay up" means to store. Simply put,  it means to document. Many people do not understand the importance of storing information. It is good practise for Wise men to lay up knowledge. Why it is Important to Lay Up Knowledge A tour into the life of historical and contemporary successful men shows that these men have a library of books. A foremost example is Dr. Ben Carson. Ben's life was transformed as a result of his mother's firm decision to make him not only to consume the knowledge in books but to reflect by writing down weekly reports of those books read. His mother took this firm decision as a result of what she discovered in the apartment of a wise old man for whom she was an house cleaner - a library of books.
