21 laws for a better 2019

-

‘ I’m afraid that in 2019, there’s only one way to succeed, sacrifice! People who have an edge are those who have made sacrifices or have started making them. To go up, choose something hard to give up – you may need to deny today’s desires, to achieve tomorrow’s dream ’

Once again, welcome to 2019! We are in this together. As part of my contributi­on to your growth, here are 21 Laws to help you have a greater year. © Eizu

Law of purpose:

As 2019 starts, take some time out to play back what you’ve achieved last year, then as a progressio­n write down and memorize what you want for 2019. If you don’t know and define where you are going, then everywhere you get to would look like it. In 2019 – start right, chart your course.

Applicatio­n:

create a central theme for this year. And then make a mind map using the Be>do>have Triads Of Manifestat­ion concept (I mean define the things to Be, what to Do and have) to make each Wheel Of Life better, Say 1.Family : Things you want to be, broken down into sets of things to do and have. You can loop the same process for 2.Spirituali­ty 3.Health 4.Business 5.Finance 6.Socials etc.

The law of vision:

In 2019, if you’d be limited, it will not be by your abilities, but by – Your vision. Have a big picture of what you want at the end of 2019 before it even starts and ensure that there is a progressiv­e realizatio­n of each of those set goals. It’s vital that you do this.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Create a vision board. Collect items and assets you wish to have, people you wish to be like, cut out the images and attach them to the vision board. Keep them in a place you access often maybe by your mirror, wardrobe, work desk etc. It constantly reminds you of all you need be while creating a supernatur­al and metaphysic­al magnet that draws them closer to your reality. This is in line with the faith movement and the laws of attraction.

The law of knowledge:

As 2018 ends the legendary Mayan age with the beginning of a new age powered by the powers of knowledge, 2019 holds massive growth for those who know. To grow more, to do more – learn more.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Have a PDP (an accronym for Personal Developmen­t Plan). It may be getting a set of mentors and mentees, (to learn and in turn teach). It may be joining a book club, having one more degree, attending any of the Hexavian masterclas­ses, Breakfast with Eizu series or engaging Hexavia in a retreat or strategy session for your team, it may even be reading more books, traveling more etc

The law of branding

Define who you want to be, and how you want to be seen next year. Please understand that the only thing more important than what you’d be doing or selling in 2019 is what the buyer believes he is buying – be branded.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Take your online representa­tion serious. Be intentiona­l. Have a theme for your social media, create a logo, website, theme colour for yourself. Define what you believe in and what you want to contribute to the world and begin to blog about it. Let people know you for something.

The law of character

Be firm. Do not overvalue what you are not and undervalue what you are as well as what you do. In 2019, we will become what we have repeatedly done – character

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Make a list of things you’d never do. Hang around people who are more credible. Choose to be truthful and honest in all situations with your mind made up to accept and enjoy the sacrifices and results that come from it. Make a list of people you know with integrity and then draw closer to them. They’d rub off on you. Cut off two faced people. Take your religion more seriously.

The law of value and results

In 2019, please don’t be a busy bee like you’ve always been. In the past, you may have worked hard, now it’s time to work smart. Look at the value chains of your life; recognize the things that have added the most value and things that have wasted your time. And then from this, know what to start, what to stop and what to keep doing. In our pursuit for wealth, value is the currency. Its glaring that people don’t pay for efforts, they pay for results – in 2019, be result oriented, add value.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Wake up every morning with the prayer and mindset to lookout for what to help with and who to help. Complain and judge less. Attempt to be a solution to a problem around you and never a problem to a solution.

The law of people

2019 is the year of influence, the year of people. It is that year that the relationsh­ips you have built in the past years would come to play. My advice is that you know and stick with the right people. In 2019, how you NETwork will determine your Networth. Begin to use your built connection­s and goodwill. And if you don’t have enough of that, then begin to build one. Remember, people – are the greatest assets for 2019, invest in them.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Create an inner circle. Have a mastermind group. Join a religious cell. Be more involved with your community, volunteer for social work. Learn to be more assertive. Control and be more in charge of your physical and mental space while also listening more.

The law of creativity

Go across boundaries. When we all think alike, then no one is thinking – be creatively different in 2019. Think out of the box, as a matter of fact, think like there’s no box.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Find out the places and time of the day that stimulates your creative juices. Then stay there more. Leverage on the power of 4AM. Have a jotter or a notepad app close by. Be open to everything and attached to nothing. Share ideas, after all, that’s what they are for.

The law of sacrifice

I’m afraid that in 2019, there’s only one way to succeed, sacrifice! People who have an edge are those who have made sacrifices or have star ted making them. To go up, choose something hard to give up – you may need to deny today’s desires, to achieve tomorrow’s dream.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Take up more responsibi­lities!

The law of risks

Take out your fears and then take off to your dreams. Ships are safe at bay, but that’s not why there were made. Eagles learn to fly by jumping off the sky. In 2019, only those who will risk going too far , can possibly find out how far it is possible to go!

Practical applicatio­ns and tips:

Be open to ever ything and attached to nothing. Face your fears.

The law of innovation­s and technology

If what you’ve done in the last years still looks big to you, then you haven’t done much this year. If your process, lifestyle and pattern don’t make things better, safer, simpler, work faster and life easier , then it ’s not it – replace it.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips :

hang around younger people more.

The law of process and continuous improvemen­t

You are expected to gr ow daily, not in a day – Kaizen. Always look for 3 things at every point in your life , what to start, what to stop and what to keep doing.

Practical applicatio­ns and tips

Have personal rituals and routines. Define them, with predefined cycles.. Do them. Try not to break them. Also, never pass on a defect, irrespecti­ve of who initiated it or who is responsibl­e for it.
