You aren't alone in falling short of your New year resolutions. The University of Scranton's research suggests that just 8% of people achieve their New Year's goals, which means 92% of resolutions fail.

Whatever your reason might have been for falling short, this new lesson I am about sharing with you will help you thrive this year. 

Ever had someone told you to calm down, take in a deep breath? When your nerves are calm, your creativity sparks. Stress and anxiety eliminate clarity.

Although nervousness might stimulate creativity as well when channelled rightly. To be able to process your nervousness and use it to your advantage, you need to chill.

We are currently living in an uncertain time. One inevitable thing is the choices we make. They determine the result we get that either evoke happiness, sadness or indifference.

When you define your purpose, you realize that life is beyond the present and more on eternity. This awakening suddenly makes you more aware of your choices.

This awareness can cause you to be careful about approaching issues, especially when folks try to offend you. You quickly seek peace because you can see beyond the present.

Most people think admitting to being tired, stressed, weak, vulnerable is foolish. We live in a society where self-deception is confused for self-confidence.

The truth is that not admitting your weakness makes you weaker.

Admitting weakness itself makes you realize you need help; you need to search for strength. A source of strength might not be far from you. Permit yourself by saying; I am weak; I won’t remain weak forever.
