Happy New Year from The Resource
Center for Women and Girls fraternity!
I realise there is nothing new about this year but
before January ends, it would be nice to touch base with our wonderful
supporters, followers and friends! Every start of the year brings forth new
expectations and in some cases, resolutions! I believe that every individual
has that one thing, if not two that they hope to achieve every year. Some of
the common ones include, making more money, improving in school, getting that
job promotion, sending out as many job applications as possible, getting that
scholarship you have always wanted, etc…
However, what is most important is what you do to
get you to achieve whatever it is you have set out to do. Many people start
with morale and motivation, which is good, but why does this motivation fades
as the year fades?
Planning!! How do we plan
as individuals? Are our plans realistic? Do we evaluate our plans and see if
they are SMART plans? I have been a
victim of this a couple of times now and this year, I would like to see a
difference in the plans I make. I am setting out to make a few plans for the
first six months of my year and I look forward to achieving them because this time
I will actually work to ensure that my plans are SMART.
This was just a short note to welcome you to the New
Year, I sincerely hope that after reading this, you will evaluate your plans to
see how SMART they really are!
A
goal without a plan is just a Wish
Happy
Planning!!
