First quarter assessment

BY FR MAKINOVO CORNER

Virgil, a Roman poet said, ‘meanwhile time is flying, flying never to return’ 2023 like any other year has 3 quarters and the first one is coming to an end soon. I know from elementary level that time waits for no one so says one of the poems then and till now!

I am one of those who believe that setting goals to achieve in life and in a year especially beginning a new year is better than the usual lousy ‘New year’ resolutions and from experience it is hardly kept and honoured and I have also argued that only an unserious person leaves important and life decisions till the end and beginning of a year!

Any goal for 2023?
Any plan for the first quarter of the year?
Any goals set for the first quarter of this year?
My dear are you aware that the year is going? This is not to alarm you or mount any form of pressure on you.
Are you aware that you’re the architect of your own fortune?

I am reminding you and that’s my work right now as your life companion!

Let me say this:
1 Have you spent time on social media at the expense of your goal?
2 Have you given in to frivolity, focusing on trivial issues?
3 have you given in to procrastination, it is always a tomorrow thing, never pro active?
4 Have you continue to blame someone for your inability to achieve what you’re meant to achieve and accomplish?
5 Do you do evaluation of your life and journey?
6 Are you accountable to anyone or to yourself?
7 Are you happy with the way you have lived and acted in 2023 so far in your spiritual, academic, social interaction, economic life?

December is not far!Another year is very close! Your purpose for the year is achievable!
Be accountable
Be productive
Be positive
Change environment if possible
Change or sack friends if possible
Prune your team if possible
If you’re seen to be idle you will soon be employed by the Devil to execute his agenda
I am happy someone has taken a decision
You can’t afford to disappoint God or yourself
Remember the Victor Mentality I shared with you:
A Your confession matters a lot.

B Forget the bad memories of the past year.

C Your declaration matters a lot. Have a good toilet and a good room. A lot of inspiration comes from the toilet 🚻 especially in the morning hours. Make declarations pasted on the wall of your toilet 🚻 e.g I am alive! I am great! I am making it! There will be a way today! The glory of God is upon me! I am for testimonies today!

Remember that someone said there’s no man in history that they didn’t laugh at.
