Its mid-year, I know most people have 4gotn all about their new year’s resolutions and diaries are gathering dust at some shelf in the house. Well, as for me, my diary is my companion, take that away, you cripple me. I think its time I upgraded to a PDA (of course, if wishes were horses…yeah tha’ one) Now, last weekend I was reviewing my ‘new’ years resolutions while trying to determine how much I had accomplished and how further ahead I need to go. I must pat my back because for sure, I have done a lot. That’s not to say, I have accomplished, nope. Truth be told, there is much more I need to do. In the beginning of this year, I listed my New Year’s resolution in the happy New Year greetings on Colleague talk. Going through em’, I realized how powerful resolutions can be.
Action Point: My account of the new years resolutions
I had intended to begin a course I had always wanted to… ( I did, I’m takin an online MA..hurrraayyyyy)
I intended to inject new ideas at my work place ( I did bring forth great ideas that were implemented, but as for how well they worked, I will leave that to my boss!!)
I intended to make my work place as enjoyable as possible (I introduced the idea of having lunch fortnightly as an office.... mostly Fridays, its worked, sometimes, we do it weekly!! .... its Fun especially wen we throw ni a few pints!!!)
I intended to put down my personal Vision and Mission Statement (well, I’m not willing to reveal these, coz they are very aggressive, but my motto is ‘its not enough to do your best, you must know what to do, then do your best’)
I intended to learn new skills ( well.. eeeh.. still thinking)
I intended to cultivate a number of virtues – Assertiveness (improved), Time-keeping (50%), Self-respect (on track), Self-confidence(on track), Courage (on track..more), Determination (on track..more needed) and Going the extra mile (on track..more)
I intended to improve my job acumen (I have done this through the online MA)
Pray Until Something Happens (I need to do more of this)
Well, that’s the mid-year account of my resolutions. Feel free to share your account with me!
I’ve just leant that my organization has surpassed the targets set for the previous financial year…. That means I’m pocketing a bonus in two weeks. Phew…. It will come in hardy, I need to clear hizo madeni’z.
