Be vigilant and cognizant of all that is going on around you. Amid everything, you must remain focused on what you have set out to do on this day and do your best to achieve your goals and objectives.A lack of planning is the main ingredient for unfulfilled goals and objectives. The spirits of delay, distraction, and procrastination are at work in those who fail to plan. There is a saying that goes like this, "Those who fail to plan are, in fact, planning to fail."
Do not fall into the same trap you fell into last year: being seduced into putting things off that you know you should be dealing with now! Scripture says to us, "He that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster" (Proverbs 18:9). The word slothful is defined as lazy and sluggish, one who never sees the importance of dealing with stuff immediately, always finding a reason to put things off that should be handled Now!
Amazingly, this scripture provides excellent insight in that it clearly reveals that a slothful person will always be associated with or in the company of those who are not just wasters but, according to scripture, "GREAT" wasters. In other words, you rarely find a slothful person being conservative or attracting folks who are conservative or on the ball about things in their lives. Slothful folks are clearly identified via their careless attitude toward life and are committed to the ideology that "whatever happens, happens!". Again, such folks are great wasters of time, opportunity, material, resources, etc.
Again, for things to change for you this year, you must replace the seeds of procrastination, laziness, and slothfulness with the seeds of being vigilant, quick in your response planning, and committed to achieving your goals and objectives by challenging the tempting desires of the spirits of delay, distraction, and procrastination.
