Let me first say Happy New year to you and congratulation for making it over to this new year. 2007 was great but 2008 will be greater. It is a year to match action with our words. At the end of every year, people seek to have new year resolution. They seek to change one thing or another about themselves but for me it goes beyond having a new year resolution. It is all about initiating change and affecting my generation. It is about going to the next level.

In 2002 when I was leaving university, I had not only a [tag]DREAM[/tag] but detailed steps of how to achieve my dream. Looking through the plan once again in December 2007, I see new reasons why I can’t but act on the plans in 2008. One thing I have been able to discover in these few past months is that ‘You are the architect of your life‘. It is high time people started taking charge of their destinies.

I have a vision to empower at least 1 million lives and this means that I have to be more proactive in my approach. I have been involved in some [tag]personal development[/tag] projects and [tag]business start-ups[/tag] in the past (some have died a naturally while few are still on). I have not, however, allowed this to discourage me from going forward. Every new day is an opportunity for me to try out new things and to initiate change (and possible fuel the change if it already initiated) in the lives of everybody that come in contact with me.

So, why not join me on this journey. Make up your mind to live on [tag]purpose[/tag]. Don’t just wake up each morning waiting for someone else to decide the course of your life. You have to be the driver of your life. Someone else will only take you to where he/she wants.

BE THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR LIFE! BE THE RUDDER THAT DETERMINES THE DIRECTION OF THE SHIP!! CHOOSE TO BE THE DRIVER IN THE CAR!!!. Year 2008 is definitely a great and very resourceful year. But only the determined would make things happen.
