GONE WITH THE WIND OF 2010?

Yipieee!!!!! Countdown to the most exciting time of the year, Countdown to Christmas!!!! Or is it Countdown to a new year?

For some, its time to start that shopping list (for shopaholics, economy don't matter), for others, it's time to  start thinking of  new resolutions or if you like, call them decisions for the new year.

Well, for me, it's time to look back, from January to October (if you haven't already) and all the resolutions/decisions  that was made in January 2010 during or before all the New Year Fireworks. Am sure some desires, aspirations, expectations et al,  have not been met.  And for some, they cant even remember what those resolutions were!!! (Gone with the Wind of 2010?).

Is there something you really want from 2010 but you just have not been able to grasp? A boyfriend? Girlfriend? A Job? A new apartment? More money? Well, here a "TOT" from me, IT'S NOT OVER JUST YET!!!.  

It's just time for you to change your approach to getting your desires or goals. My mum has a saying, "whenever you are searching for something, if you have tried looking at all the possible places, try the impossible ones. After this, repeat the cycle again"  What do I mean? Let me illustrate with a story.

Luke is a young 23 year old graduate from a fab school with a great (or maybe not so great) result. He has been trying to get a Job for the past couple of years. He has sent his CV to hundreds of companies (both indigenous and multinationals), he's been invited for more than a couple of interviews but still, he doesn't have an offer. It's November and he's going into his 3rd year at home, Mum and dad are tired of giving him allowances for the week.....even though they not saying anything (or maybe they are, lol). 

Well, If Luke doesn't want to end the year on this Note, its time for him to change his approach. How you may ask? He has to decide the kind of Job he wants, the companies he would like to work for and then go ahead and offer his services to that each one of them for FREE. Am pretty sure one in 3 of them will give him a chance.

This is not a common approach in this country (Nigeria). I think it is time for the young people in our society to know that  sometimes sacrifices have to be made, we just expect people to give us a chance and when they don't, we fold our hands? No!!! We have to sometimes CREATE those chances for ourselves. And really God can only bless the work of your hand if you have one!!!!!!

For the young man or woman whose expectation is a boyfriend or girlfriend, wife or husband? Do you still have a chance in 2010? Watch out for the next BLOG!
