SINCERELY
After asking yourself about the questions,you need to give sincere answer to them. William Shakespeare once said:"to thine own self be true ".the worse form of deceit is self deceit, so you need to tell yourself the true. He who never made a mistake, never make a discovery. Recognize your mistakes and learn from them, but don't dwell on them. there is nothing you can do Now about your past,but there is a great deal you can about your future. Accept your past and get ready to face the future.

FINE YOUR DREAM
Every man has a dream; you know what you want from life. Although life may not make your dream come on a platter of gold,one has to strive. A wise man once said, "there is no dream too big and no dreamer too small' so dream big or die small. if you want something tomorrow,you must plan something today. Pessimism will do you no good. Optimistic people do not only grab opportunities that come their way, they create them. Dreamers are optimistic people, they always expect something. if you are not a dreamer,you expect nothing And that's what you will get...nothing.

DISCIPLINE
We have excuses for not achieving the things we ought to Achieve, so you need to make a conscious effort to put things right. Discipline is doing the right thing whether you feel like it or not Procrastination is a very dangerous habit as one can miss wonderful opportunities as a result of it. opportunity follows struggle, effort and hard work. It doesn't come before. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. So, never leave till tomorrow what you can do today.

CREATE A LIFE TIMELINE
Write down what you want to achieve within a particular time frame. This will help you to manage your time well. at the beginning of a new session, you need to ask yourself "what have I set to achieve this session? "how do I go about it? " make sure you put your thought into writing, this makes it more realistic. Time is the most valuable possession in life. Time spent carelessly is irreplaceable, so make the best use of your time. In writing your timeline,ensure you keep it real and as simple as possible.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
to believe in yourself is to have confidence and a solid sense of self worth. Muhammad Ali once said, "to be a great Champion you must believe you are the best. If you are not, pretend you are". Learn to trust your own instinct, judgment and decisions. As Malcolm X would say"a man who doesn't stand for something will fall for anything ".you need to take responsibility. Don't live a careless life, believing that things will sort themselves out. Success requires conscious effort from you. It is a function of choice and not chance. You have to be self-reliant and self-determined,not carried along by the waves of fate.
Following the above steps will surely make you a change person and when you look back at that mirror you would be impressed at the person you are.
I will like to use this opportunity to wish you all happy new year. May this year bring forth good tidings unto you and your household... God bless you and have a glorious new year.
