Happy new month to my online family and I am sure January went real good for most of us, because it did for me.
In this new month we are going to be keeping up with our one month one character challenge, addressing one character, one month at a time.
In January, Mine was Diligence, what was yours?
Most of us might not understand why this character challenge is actually an important one. I feel character is a major asset that everyone should actually have the right measure, no one is perfect but then one must not be a write off when it comes to character. I actually did appreciate the Diligence I worked on in the month of January because it helped me in the following ways:
- To stay committed to activities
- To avoid procrastination.
- To be on time
- To make a promise and work towards keeping it.
These I could actually say I was a bit of a write-off before but now I guess I am getting pretty much better. I had people follow up with me and then I had my people here too keeping tabs on me.
The best way to make a challenge and keep it going for yourself is to try creating an accountability group for yourself, how does this work?
- Make it a big deal and tell a few friends what you want to do for this month:Start a conversation and if possible sell the idea to them. It becomes fun if people tease you when they see you doing something wrong and they go, but I thought you said you wanted to stop this?
It could get annoying sometimes, but anger does not kill instead if taken with the right sense of humour, it quickens the process of improvement and progress.
- Get your mind informed: Write it out and paste it anywhere you know it will be visible for you to look at it and then it registers to your mind. So even in your subconscious you are constantly telling yourself I am working towards this.
People say we need God to change us, but just sometimes when we pray we still need to put actions into it.
Having given an in depth explanation, January was the month of Diligence for me and this Month of February I will be challenging myself to LOVE. Not because of the season but because it is a character.
I plan on achieving the following at the end of this month:
- A more forgiving Spirit
- A cheerful heart to people
- A smile everyday attitude
- A giving hand.
These are a few of what I hope to achieve, but I know as I get to study about it and act it everyday, I will be learning a lot more.
So please tell me in the comment section, what character do you challenge yourself to this month(if you need a list of characters, visit here) and how did the challenge of January go?
Once again, Happy new month lovelies.http://feeds.feedburner.com/LifesTreasury
