As the year 2015 fades away, the new face of 2016 is on the horizon. New hopes, dreams and visions are right before our eyes as opportunities will unfold itself with the passage of passing days and months. What could not be done must be done! Wasted time is to be redeemed with meaningful tasks. The days are to be seized with greater diligence and dedication. Doors will once again be swung open for the knockers and seekers. However, for the despondent, time will take a toll on you! For the lazy-bones, nothing is in store for you! This year 2016 is for the busy hands.
Here are some don’ts of 2016;
This year, don’t buy into rash decisions! Many fools will fall again. Think through every thought and make wise choices. Live for the moment but think for the future. Every single step will take you to the desired destination. The road will be long and tough, but the voyage will be worth it so take good courage! Forget the past but not the memories and go on with life. There is a sure hope for the “never give-ups” so hold on…This year, don’t play games! I mean, don’t waste your time on silly matters that will add nothing to your baggage. Life is too short to be wasted on computer games, television shows, movies, parties and unending chats-Facebook.
This year, don’t mess with old buddies anymore!Why should you hold on to your old company again? Leave them for good. Kill those old habits. Replace those old buddies with new friends that are not so friendly but they will in turn give joy, contentment and happiness.
This year, don’t procrastinate! Successful people are known for their quick move to the need of the moment. Lazy people dawdles their duty. Accumulating workloads for the deadline always results in poor workmanship. So, gird up your loins and be prepared for the task.
This year, don’t boast! As the old cliché goes, “Pride goes before destruction…”Remember that it was this PRIDE that took Satan down to the pit of hell. Give honour to the only One who can promote or degrade people. You do not even know what will happen tomorrow so stay humble.
This year, don’t stay idle! Do something useful for yourselves and others. Try to do something which you’ve never done before. Start writing, reading, paintingand cooking, stitching, carpentry-works and so on. It’s never too late to start.
This year, don’t complain! Every situation of life has a lesson to teach us. The bad and bitter days teach us patience and perseverance and the good ones, to be grateful.
This year, don’t quit! A promising fortune is ahead for the never “quitters.” If you fall, it’s ok. Get up like a man and fight the good fight of faith. Run the race and finish well.
This year, don’t fret or be discouraged! Be of good cheers! Trust in God for every single detail of your life. He never disappoints nor fails.Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Vebu Khamo.
