So now ….What to do differently this week to finish YOUR 2022 year a resounding success ?
When I screen through the above (I do not want to read it – especially the bad things! We are so overpowered by it), I realise that only I have the power to change my world. Or, at least, the issues I have control over. The JZ’s, Eskom, corruption, poor service delivery, etc, will be with us for some time in the future. But I have a direct control over my productivity, my happiness, my business and family, my spiritual, physical, and mental well-being. And I am going to focus on that, and not the JZ’s, loadshedding, etc.
So now ….What to do differently this week to finish YOUR 2022 year a resounding success ? The above …
Have a super week.
