7 Ways to Know If Next Year Will Favor You

Year 2023 is moving to an end, and slowly ushering us into a year. While celebration is everywhere and people seem to be overwhelmed by the merriment of the season, there is something else going on within everyone. We are consciously or unconsciously having the coming year in mind, whether positively or negatively. There must always be plans, imagination, or curiosity about what next year has in store.

It is hard to predict the future with exact accuracy, however, there is a saying that "tomorrow is the product of today." Most of our behaviors and experience today directly influences our tomorrow. Therefore, it is possible to tell what next year holds to a certain degree of accuracy based on our current way of life.

These are Signs You Have a Promising Year Ahead

1. You feel optimistic:

Feeling optimistic and positive is simply a sign that something great is coming your way. It could be your subconsciousness trying to convey a message. This is not a magic, only that feeling optimistic makes you act and think more positively, a step that can help you break barriers associated with pessimism and lack of confidence.

"Optimism is one of the first prerequisites of success." 

With an optimistic mindset, you will be able to easily search for and grab any opportunity without fear. That places your years ahead in a better position to favor you.

2. You have already set goals for next year:

Goal setting is very important because it serves as a compass and roadmap to your destination. You will agree that someone with a map at hand already knows what might lie ahead, the best direction to take, what to do, and what not to do.

Having a drafted plan for the future places you in place of favor. It shapes your timing and makes you know exactly what you want, especially if you apply effective time management scheme in your planning. Setting goals for next year gives you a great chance to succeed in this goal which is in your favor. There are many goals and ideas to set for next year or the future ahead.

3. You have just acquired a new skill:

Having a high-income skill is very important but acquiring a new skill gives you a higher chance of seeing a turnaround in your life. You have lived a certain kind of life and earned a certain amount of gross income. That you have acquired a new skill this year means that you have a greater chance of having a new job or starting a new business next year.  This makes you stand out from others who think next year will be better by magic.

4. You're Actively Searching for Opportunities:

New year often begin with new job opportunities. This is because most companies restructure every year-ending after carrying out their fiscal analysis for the year. In most instance, there are always needs for new employees to occupy vacant positions or join teams. So, if you have been actively searching for good opportunities, don't give up. You have a greater chance next year. Twelve months is long enough to do you good and offer the opportunity that you need.

5. You haven't given up on your dreams:

Only losers give up easily. You have had that dream for years, now is too late to late it dies off.

"Dreams mostly die because people kill them." - Abas Obot 

You can't tell if this year was the endpoint of the long-term disappointment. Therefore, if you have an active dream and you are still alive, the chance that your dream will come true cannot be debated. It can be anytime, even next year. If that's the case, then it could be that a good year is right there waiting for you.

6. You are changing your work or environment next year:

Leaving your comfort zone is one way to break free from a stagnant life. You might be in your current position because you've been in the same environment and worked for too long. It doesn't matter why you want to change your work or relocate next year, what matters is that such a move surely will change the way you're currently living, and that can be for good.

7. You have determined to make next year a better one:

There is power in determination and decision-making. No matter how your past years felt, if you wildly want to bring a radical change to the status quo, things can truly change. Your inner desire to change your situation will resound with your thoughts and make that a reality. The worst happens when you feel so comfortable about your current situation, otherwise, the chance that next year will be as good as you plan is very high.

In conclusion, the steps you take today, and your mindset matter a lot about whether next year will be good in your favor or not. So, when you eat, think, talk, or take action, remember to do it in your favor. "Predicting the future is not an easy task but controlling the future is a sure task." We wish you a better year ahead.

Compliment of the season and a prosperous new year!
