12 THINGS EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IN 2020

Written by *Counsellor Daniel Fenyi*

*1. Pursue* something. Don't walk in the entire 365 days without having something particular in mind to achieve. Start a building project, buy a car, pay some school fees, start some job, ... Just do something!

*2. Walk* with people wiser or stronger than you. Surround yourself with people who will inspire or motivate you, who will make you feel you can do better, who will challenge you for the good.

*3. Examine* your dressing or appearance. Don't put on 'anything' just because it covers your nakedness. Your appearance tells a lot about you. Iron your dress neatly. Don't wear dresses in the name of fashion or trend . Wear smart and more decent, but fitting dresses. This is the slogan to live with: Simple but Classy.

*4. Check* how you talk. Before you open your mouth, be minded of who you are talking to, where you are talking, when you are talking. Know that  your integrity is at stake when you talk without thinking. In every situation, choose silence over speech unless you don't have any option.

*5. Visit* old people's home to appreciate them. Orphanage and children in need of special care are also important communities to visit. Don't let them feel unwanted or neglected in the scheme of things.

*6. Be more prayerful.* You can't live your life thinking things occur merely automatically or logically. There's a Devine Supreme Being or Entity, a Creator and Who makes things happen, pray to Him.🙏

*7. Start* thinking or planning towards doing more for humanity. As all people need to have square deal in your hands, it is imperative to be particularly considerate when dispensing benevolent enterprises or initiatives for a legitimate or just cause.

*8. Always think Positive* while striving to be Realistic. When you see tigers praying to God, don't join them. You can be positively optimistic that they won't 'chop' you since they are genuinely praying, but certainly be sure too that after the prayers, they'll remain tigers and God will feed them with flesh.

*9. Buy gifts* for your beloved ones. Try and do something 'small' and good for parents . You have no idea what  goes on in their minds. Let them feel you are not quite far off from them.

*10. Invest* more, save considerable, spend less. Put your money into investment ventures. Buy T-bills, shares, be a stock broker, actuate fixed deposits, do some business such as an importation of some goods and sell, etc. In fact, get more than one stream of income!

*11. Many known names* have gone and life goes on. The point is, in as much as we can't wait for the nature to work things out for us, don't stress yourself too much to work your life out. You won't take your worked out wealth with you when you die. Take time off work; go and do medical check-up, find time to embrace and stay with your family, visit gardens or the beaches or national parks and other  attractive environments; and appreciate nature that Almighty GOD has created, etc.

*12. After* reading, you may send this message to your groups and contacts, it may be of a good help to someone.
