A New Year

It’s a new year and a new beginning. A new opportunity to reposition ones operation by leveraging on ones core competence to gain competitive advantage and deliver better value to all stakeholders.

Doing this definitely would mean jumping new hurdles and confronting new challenges. New perspectives will be needed, new plans will be crafted.

With the year being new comes the possibility to make ‘better’ our ‘good’ and in the words of President Obama, old instruments of honesty, hardwork, integrity etc must be deployed when it comes to facing new issues.

One big challenge will be the ability to clearly capture what ones focus should be in the year. We live in a noisy world and it's pretty difficult sometimes to hear clearly and know distinctly what is right and honorable.

Rushing into millions of seconds and thousands of hours without a clear direction might end up in a tragedy. Its cost might be unbearable.

For me, i have resolved to 'start my year' only when i have clear direction and focus for the year. Obviously, there are ideas and plans in my head but i'd rather wait and hear from the captain of all ships, where i should sail this year.

He is the custodian of all maps. He has the best compass and He can calm all storms that might arise on the sea. He has being my anchor and over the years i have come to trust His unmarched knowledge, advice and wisdom.

Friend, the only way to have a safe sail throughout the year is to hear from God and have Him on board. I wish you a hitch-free sail.

Happy NEW YEAR!
