LOL! Even I am tickled by the
title, and it’s for real! Seriously! This post was inspired by the Holy Spirit
as I listened to sermon in church (I assure you I was listening to the sermon,
which was totally unrelated to this post. I’m a woman after all, and a
veritable Queen of multitasking!)
Going straight into the matter –
Remember I told you my best friend inspired this so scripture is involved, and
it’s a common one – Proverbs 18 verse 22. ‘He who finds a wife, finds a good
thing’ I’ve just read that scripture before, and glossed over it. Today, my
eyes were open to a hidden truth, which I’d like to share with the rest of my
single sisters.
Firstly (Please follow me
closely, and may your heart of understanding be opened), English tells us that
a ‘wife’ is someone who is married, right? So how then can a man find an
‘unmarried woman’ and it be described that he has found ‘a good thing’ and
hence the title ‘wife’ is bestowed, just upon the finding, NOT the marrying.
Which therefore means, that A WIFE IS A WOMAN WHO IS GOOD. Hence for 2018, we
are going to set strategies to be good, Better, BEST!
Strategy 1. Do more, Talk Less!
2018 is not the year for yakking, whining, complaining, nagging, and so forth!
It is the year for DOING! What’s that dream you’ve always had? Start about it! What’s
the training you’ve always wanted to do? Go on and begin! Set clear, reasonable
goals, draw up a realistic plan to achieve, identify strengths and obstacles,
determine ways to overcome, and please go right ahead and take that first step!
Strategy 2. Be discerning and
deliberate. Develop your success grid and pass EVERYTHING through it. What does
your success look and sound like? Does this location serve it? Does this outfit
reflect it? Does my network bolster it? Babes, we gotta be DELIBERATE about it.
No wishy-washy half efforts. Be specific and goal oriented. People and things
will align.
Strategy 3. Be quick to forgive.
Leave the drama and weight of bitterness and offence in 2017. For 2018 goals,
you need clear head space! This is the tricky one babes, our ‘feelings’! That
thing is a land mine! Here’s a quick news flash for you darlings - You are not
A SLAVE TO YOUR EMOTIONS! Something that fickle shouldn’t control and dictate
your (re)actions! Submit your emotions to the clear logic and dominion of your
spirit! That being said, you’ve gotta feed your spirit!
Strategy 4. Get Involved! What’s
the discussion around your success? Can you influence it? Can you contribute to
it? Who are the drivers of your success? What relationships do you have with
them? I hear you say ‘the madness and unrealism of social media is not for me’,
errr, well you can go look for a rock and live under! This age, social media is
the game, to play it get insulated (with the right values), not isolated!
Doggedly follow through on your
goal to becoming Good (Better and BEST) and trust me, you will be found!
Declaring a Prosperous and
Successful 2018 to you! Happy New Year!
Be Good, Be Golden!
