Happy New Year: Twenty (20) Stuff That Can Make Your 2018 An Exceptional Success
Hello stemians @Trevonjb
On the 25th of December 2017, I got a dozen of calls, tons of messages and so many mails in respect of the Christmas celebration. All jeering "#Merrychrismas and a prosperous #Newyear!!!  I couldn't help but to think of how 2017 has been a year for me nonetheless others, in my country Nigeria;there were so many down turn, down moments by people and even the government, we had experienced a year so hard like no other since in the 1990s, a lot of economic deflation, inflation and even stagnation in some point.
Presently as I write these pages in this blog, there is high demand for LPG which even the government and a country termed as one of the richest oil nations can't fill.

Daily, as I walk on streets, near the coffee shops, in public places,news paper stands, in buses to mention but a few, people often blame the government. I am not sure if it happens in your country.
These drove me to write on this topic, 2o stuffs to make your 2018 an exceptional year. 
So let's get started!!!

1.KEEP STEEMING:Make more Money
If we want to have a great year, me need money, and alot of it. We need money to provide our necessities, to keep us going, to help us get things in order. As for I find a way to make that money not grudgingly but happily. I love writing, and the minute I was introduced to steemit by @Mickysocofysocofy because he knows my thirst and passion for writing, that was the minute that change many things in my life.
The moment I wrote my first article #introduceyourself then I had a little more faith in myself. With all my inbinbalance about cyrptocurrency changed I became so in love with the system. However for me I intend to do more of steeming than any social network in 2018, I think you should do same because its going to be more than just fun, its going to put food(real food) on our tables.

2. RESIGN THAT BAGGAGE YOU CALL JOB
2018 is going to be better if you had one less person to call boss, if you have someone bossing you around, if you stopped working for somelse dream and work on yours, if you are still in an underpaid job, if your job takes the most of you. Its a baggage you need to drop and put a smile on your face. Face the facts, some are blood suckers and deteriorating.

3. DECIDE WHATS MOST IMPORTANT FOR YOU IN 2018
This is very essential. You have to know what's important and what's not. Where you are, where you headed, and which way you want to take to get there. You know every morning when you wake up you got to start doing them, and leave out the less important one.if you dont set your priorities right you'll messed up.

4. MAKE A LIST OF HOW TO ACHIEVE THEM
You heard that right. Yeah I said it, "A List" the fact remains that a list could be a very powerful guide and tool for a successful 2018. If you want to succeeddo a lot of writing down, a lot of planing ahead, a lot of decision on paper,yes the paper work got to be right. 
You need to check out all step you need to achieve your main goals, is it doable? How long it's going to take, what steps do I take at every corner? Where do I wait? You've got to map them all out!

5. SET DEAD LINES ON YOUR PROJECTS
This is equally important thing to do, if you want to do it, you've to know how much time you want to use. Setting deadlines brings in decipline and makes you t stop procrastination. You get a clearer picture of where you would love to be at a particular time. So you know when to take meeting, a call, time for family, and best of it all you would understand that everything has its time in space.

6. INCULCATE HEALTHY EATING LIFE STYLE
The eye of the body is the mouth, if your eye is simple and healthy your body will be bright. Eating heathy meals can not be over emphasized, this is no time to eat for obesity. This is no time to eat all the sugar, chocolate, beer, etc
You will be needing to choose when to eat food and how best you will love to do it.
7. TAKE REGULAR EXERCISE
Shake off those fats, renew the aging bones, let the water get off through your pores, commit the money for beer into a gym this coming 2018 and thank me later for it.

8. MAKE A GARDEN
Below is my own little garden where I grow pumpkins, garden eggs, tomatoes, bitter leaves etc. Its reduces your cost. It gives you freshness and its a way to always excercisw when you work on them.

9. AVOID FAKE DUDES
Peer pressure has led many into wrong decisions, many have enended up in more than they bargained for. Peer pressure affects everyone no matter how old or young you think you're. Thus, do not associate with the wrong people, who only wants money, cars, drinks, whores, women and who always wants to do negative things.

10 GIVE FREELY
There is more happiness in giving than recieving. You can commit 5-10% of your income to charity. Just find someone to help, they are always around you, close by, waiting for your assistance. Show some love.
11. FAMILY
Family is everything, spend more time with them, show some love, stay around people who really care about ypu and people you care about. Make them happy, make them smile, show them you care.

12 WORK HARDER WITH LOT MORE CONCENTRATION
You could be hard working but lack concentration or vision. This is the time to clear things up, be precise about your vision and concentration in 2018. Work hard at it. Everyone you admire, every one you love to be like worked so hard to get to where they are. You hVw to do same and put your mind to it.
13. STAND OUT
To be Unique you have to stand put, refuse the croud. Only people who think differently do different things, they are the only ones who really makes an impact, who really become exceptional and successful.

14. Forgive More
Forgive as much as you can, as we all pray in Matthew 6:9,10 "forgive us this day as we forgive others that trespass"
The thing is simple,... If we refuse to forgive others, we might not be forgiven. Therefore let's leverage on the unlimited forgiveness capacity we possess that is given freely by our creator, JEHOVAH!!!

15. REPENT
This is truly the path to true hapiness. As noted by Christ Jesus, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" 
This calls for our true repentance and transformation by Christ Ransome sacrifice. Once we embrace God's way of life, we can truly have a firm grasp of the real life.

16.DRAW CLOSER TO GOD
Abraham, David, Moses, you can name them where all called God's friend. They enjoyed intimate relationship with him, communicating,doing his will and even represents his name. He exhorts us to draw close to him.
17. BE HONEST
Honesty is a rare policy, when we are honest, we protect our names, people take us for our word and most importantly we enjoy a peace of mind and a happy relationship with God.

18 Save More
Save to prepare for the storms, and don't forget to save in cryptosystem and currency.
19: AVOID UNNECESSARY TIME WASTAGE
Avoid long hour meetings, dedicate more time to relevant things.

20.ALWAYS EVALUATE
Check constantly where you're always, check your progress, check so you will know when to change a plan, stick to the plan or move with a bit of a speed.
Constant scrutiny is very important to achieving a fulfilled year.

As we move towards the last days of 2017, I urge you to take time out to check out how far ve'come and thankGod for it.
