How clueless am I ?

The beginning of the year is when we all write down those lofty dreams that we have the good intentions of attaining. I particularly love people's spirits in January, it's all full of hope and the right attitude to succeed. It's so funny how in January, almost every one has that winning and can do attitude.Somehow we are all upbeat about our aspirations at the beginning of the year. I'm one of those people who when people tell me what their dreams are or what they hope to achieve, I immediately ask them how they intend to go about achieving those dreams. To be honest, it saddens me that 90 percent of the people actually do not have a clear plan on how they are going to achieve that dream, basically they are clueless about what to do to get to where they want to get to. The hard truth is nothing really happens by chance or mistake and the sooner people come to terms with that, the better for them. A successful life just doesn't happen, it has gone through a process. It's a little wonder how we never hear of a successful person until they become successful, that is because that successful person had to go through a process. Realisation of dreams goes through a process like everything else in life. I'll liken it to the most natural thing in life, growth of a human being. An adult human being is born a baby, then the baby has to be fed, nurtured and taken care of to become a full,grown, healthy and functional adult. The kind of nurturing and environment the baby is raised in determines if the baby grows up to be a functional or dysfunctional adult or even dies due to malnutrition or abuse. The same applies to all our dreams, we need to nurture them, do the right thing and expose them to the right environment to ensure they do not remain as just dreams but grow into reality or just die along the way. Now the bigger question for many of us, is what do we need to do to make these dreams a reality ? Basically, what clues do we need? In 2015, I intend to encourage a lot of people to begin to gather the right clues by way of getting access to the right information that would help make their dreams a reality. I'll encourage people to ask for help where needed, seek out people who could answer your questions, people who can point you in the right direction. Search the Internet, ask successful people, get the right information- basically get the right clues. 2015 is not the year to suffer in cluelessness or ignorance. It's the year to arm yourself with the right tools to become all you have been designed to be. Have a good week ahead and keep your questions coming.
