Hello everybody and a very happy new year to you.It's a great year once again and believe me this year already has come to mean different things to different people.For some it is a year to step up on whatever venture already embarked on in the last year,while for others it is yet a time for new goals,aspirations and what have you. Still for some it is a period to make new friends and start new relationships for the next level.
All of these are good ways to kick start the year,but how about disconnecting to connect! Confused? please do not be. This is a perfect time to make a thorough check at the friends we have now and ask ourselves if really we have been able to do a lot with them around.Truth is that we only need twenty percent of the friends we have to take us to eighty percent level of success in life so says the eighty-twenty theory. It goes on to posit that we do not need all our friends to climb the apogee of our achievements.Meaning that you and i will need to disconnect from some friends that aren't adding values to our lives to prove that we are worthy of the next level.
Did i hear someone say what in heaven's name could she be getting at? Even the bible yet talks about prunning - being on the alert to pay attention only to meaningful and creative friendship that can cause a catalyst,that is the spirit. My friend,we have got to adhere strictly to the eighty-twenty principle if we want to achieve without distractions as it were.
Our strength as people who seek the best in life lie in the ability to carry only a few along the path of greatness.Mark you that i am not talking about being so self sufficient in ourselves without thinking of our fellow man.I am talking about detaching ourselves from the we-we mentality.Afterall when you do achieve a great feat,you do not expect that everyone will be sincrely happy for you. Never think of riding on any man's back to the top.God has made everything you and i need available to us.He does arranges great friendships and relationships to form and then destiny is fulfiled.except he does that,in vain are you and i wallowing in a venture i call the 'arrangee business'.
So part of our assignment for the new year should be to disconnect to connect to success.You can not borrow another man's eyes for sleep.You have got to stand up to life by yourself.Be ready to think by yourself and then the collective mentality issue will be a thing of the past.
Let us toast to a success packed 2011 and we shall testify greatly to it.
