Hello my darlingssssss, Happy happy new year....It feels like I haven't been here since like forever, Since I last met with you all in 2015.. Happy New Year once again.. I feel the ginger in the air as I know that this year we are all climbing the ladder of success and I know nobody will be left behind.
In this new year, I will be ushering us with a challenge, one I titled ONE MONTH, ONE CHARACTER Challenge.
What exactly does it mean? I know must of us have goals written down for the year, a long list we have to conquer but some factors can hinder the fulfilment of those goals, some of which include, Character which is the number one, the number show spoiler for so many people.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
This challenge is actually going to be a one month thing, I know you are wondering why should I be doing a character challenge for one month, but it is for the Art of Mastery, for the character to automatically be a part of you, you have to keep doing it. I know some of you will be saying, this one is punishment but then how long is a month? just 30/31 days.
So this challenge is easy I must say, I am actually going to do it myself and I believe it is very necessary for the year.
I have here my list of Character traits I need to work on every month for myself and if you will want to join me, I will be glaaaaaad to have you on board and if you want to make your own list, that is fine too, but please ensure you do. So here is my list:
January : Diligence
February : Love (Not because it is Valentine ooo)
March : Joy
April : Peace
May : Patience
June: Kindness
July : Meekness/Humility
August :Faith
September : Self-Control
October : Confidence/Boldness
November : Servanthood (Church)
December : Appreciation.
Yes yes, this is my liiiiissstt, I am excited to be doing this. 12/12, I pray to get a pass mark at the end of the day.
So my first character challenge for this month is Diligence:
What Is Diligence?
Diligence is steadfast application, assiduousness and industry; the virtue of hard work.
It is one of the seven heavenly virtues.
Diligence in Christianity (my religion)
Diligence, in Christianity, is the effort to do one's part, while keeping faith and reliance in God.
In other words, diligence and faith are two sides of a mystery. One doesn’t know how, despite one's effort, it all works out. But diligence when combined with faith assures spiritual success. Diligence as one of seven virtues describes thoroughness, completeness and persistence of an action, particularly in matters of faith.
Diligence to the very end, makes your hope sure. We do not want to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
— The Bible,
Diligence in one word means Commitment.
So yes yes o, that is what I will be working on this month.
I want to be able to:
Keep to time, fulfill promises, keep up with task and appointments (God help me) and lots more I need to be committed to.
What do I want achieve(make sure you write out what you want to achieve):
Consistency
Focus
Godly life
And a new good character
It is possible and I know we can do this.
We have to swim in Abundance this year and nothing can stop us, not even CHARACTER.
I will be glad to see your list in the comment below or your January Character Goal. Let's do this.
Remember that I Believe in You...
