New years come with fresh expectations. Individuals, cooperate organizations and governments have set of objectives, targets and budgets for 2016. Many singles want to get married while students want to pass their exams with good grades. Entrepreneurs want to expand their ventures, whereas civil servants placed their hope on job promotions. Everyone has something positive that he/she wants to see in his or her life.
Each expectation comes with corresponding demands. There is something that you must do to create your expectations. If you are persuaded by a sense of luck, favour or faith without work, then you are likely to be disappointed at the end of this year. Favour or luck sometimes elevates a man, but none of them is a platform or yardstick for creating a fortune in life. 2016 is load with many expectations, however, you must consciously create your 2016 experience. It would be dangerous to let everything happen to you by chance.

How to create 2016 experience:
1. Isolation: The first step is to isolate yourself from the crowd. You could be crowded by social media, events and or people at workplace. Each of these populations robs you of self reflections by keeping you busy with conventional routine. The danger here is that you won't be able to take stock of your life at any point and censor unnecessary luggage that are weighing you down.

2. Reflection: There are certain things that happened to you in the past, which were avoidable. You need to reflect on your successes, failures and general issues that shaped your life till moment. Look at your job, friends and business colleague and observe the role each had played in bringing you to the kind of life you now live. You are the one wearing the shoe, do not let anyone tell you where it pinches.

3. Vision : vision here means having a mental picture of 2016. Where do you see yourself at the end of this year; as an employer of labour, entrepreneur, inventor, merchant, professional consultant etc. You must deliberately picture yourself at a position higher than where you are at the moment. This is not about comparing yourself to another person but consciously setting your eye at a level you would be proud of by December 2016.

4. Question: there are two imperative questions that you must answer to create a future that you would enjoy.
a.) Why was I not there at the moment? Probably, your vision is to be an author, why haven't you written a book till now? You need to find out why you are not at a point where you desire to be at the end of 2016. If you answer sincerely & correctly, you will discover what actually stopped you in the past. Then you plan how to overcome them in 2016.
b.) What must I do to get there? There is always what to do to create a better you. You can't afford to build your life on things happening by chances. That could be suicidal. Every vision comes with a corresponding work that must be done. It is not just doing any kind of work but the one that directly or indirectly push you to your desired destination.

5. Action: not all your activities should be conducted in isolation. You must come out of your hiding to implement your inspiration and take your resolve to work. You must breakdown your vision to a point where you can start now. Don't say until April or June or October. No! It doesn't work that way. There may be phases of implementations but your program must contain the little you can do now. You must also map out stages of periodical evaluation. It will help you to get there in good time.
Happy new year!
