What is a blank year? A blank year is a year whereby you failed to achieve any major thing within the year. Nothing worthwhile or reasonable to boast of in a year. You see most people make New Year resolutions at the beginning of every New Year but the funniest thing about New Year resolutions is that before the end of January or middle of February, most of our New Year resolutions have been forgotten and people recur back to their previous habits.
But I have come to understand one thing, great or successful men and women don’t make any New Year resolutions. They simply make strong decisions that will change their lives in the year.
Some people also experience blank year because they expect something to just happen from somewhere to them. No, it does not work like that. Without a genuine input, there can’t be any output. Nothing happens by accident. There is nothing like nothing for something. For you to experience a new year different from the previous, you have to do something different from what you have been doing before
Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting different result.
Number one way to avoid having a blank year is to have a concrete written down goals on each aspect of your life for year 2016. This simple method looks too simple but this is responsible for about over 80% of failure every year.

1. Set realistic but big goals. Think big but start small, something that will stretch your mind. Goals that will provoke the genius in you to come alive. Most of the time, our goals are so low and we achieve them. That is the problem.
2. Write down your goals clearly. Less than 20% of adults have written down goals.
3. Paste copies of your written down goals where you can see it often. You can put it in the room, toilet, kitchen etc. by doing this; you are constantly reminding yourself that you have a task to perform. No time for idleness.
4. Read out aloud your goals three to five times daily. This will allow your goals to sink into your subconscious mind. By doing this, your goals begin to determine your actions.
5. Re write your goals first thing every day when you wake up without looking at the book.
6. Make a list of five to ten things you need to do in order to achieve your goals. Remember, there is no free launch anywhere. This is where many failed.
7. Work on your goals every day. This is the bump. Never let a day pass without you doing something about your goals. That is the key. No matter how small, work on your goals daily. Inch by inch anything a cinch. If you can control the daily use of your time, you can master the future.
8. Visualize your goals. See yourself actually achieving your goals. Picture yourself in that new goal of yourself. This process is called mental formation. Whatever is impress in your mind will be express outside. By doing this, you are setting the law of attraction into motion. You are provoking magnetic law of attraction into existence. You will begin to attract people, resources and every other thing that will make you to achieve your goals to yourself. This works like magic. Even God knows that nobody can stop what you imagine or picture to do. This is powerful. Check Genesis 11vs 6.

How to visualize?
For me, the best time should be early in the morning or late at night when you are about to sleep. Set aside fifteen to thirty minutes and focus your mind to acquire pictures of whatever your goals are. See yourself getting that promotion. Picture yourself receiving that promotion. Picture yourself driving that new car. Picture yourself in that new house. See yourself in that new thing. Picture yourself graduating from college. See yourself carrying your babies. This is an old forgotten principle use by the ancient that position them for greatness. This is creating a picture of your future. This looks simple but works magic. That is the secret of inventors, successful entrepreneurs, athletes etc. instead of mocking this formula while not practice it with relax believe for like a month and see what will happen to you. Your mind does not know right or wrong except that which you make it to believe. Your mind will not rest until it works out your goals for you. Your mind is more powerful than you can ever imagine. You will see people that will want to help you.
Why emphases on only goals?
Remember, it is only a target that you set that you can achieve. Success is 100% goals, every other things is commentary.
