To-do for the month of August

 Today is the last day of the month. A day to review all you have achieved for the month of June, what you are yet to achieve and what you are planning on achieving in August and how you plan on achieving them. Here are things you must add to your to-do list for the month of August:

1.  Be happy.

Happiness is the key to living a fulfilled and meaningful life. It also affects the quality of life we live. The fact that you are alive is enough reason to put smile on your face.You might feel that you are going through the worst situation, my dear remember you are still alive. When there is life, there is hope. Don't tolerate people who are just in your life to remove the smile on your face. I often call them "mood spoilers". They are hazardous to your life. Spend more time with people who love you being around them. They can be a good source of motivation for you.

2.  Let go of the past.

Don't let events of the past weigh you down; Let it go. The past is gone and there is nothing you can do about it. If you’re trying hard and haplessly making zero progress, stop trying.  Stop trying and start being. No matter the event that happened in the past let it go. Why focus attention on what you can't change? Why not focus on what you know how to do best and see what happens next. If you faithfully do that, you can still have the kind of future you dream about.

3. Stop Procrastinating.

Procrastination is an enemy of success. Why are you not doing anything about that your lovely idea? Why not start something and see how it goes? If you are 100% sure, you are too late. Get out of your comfort zone and start doing what you ought to be doing. There is no future; your future starts now.

4.  Develop a saving habit.

When it comes to saving money , most people shy away from the topic. Saving is extremely important. You must develop the habit to save part of your income. Saving can be a life saver in times when the unexpected occurs. It also gives you leverage. It is advisable to save about 20% of your income. If you can do more, that's good for you. Yes about 20%, I know its very challenging right? But it is important. The income most times is insufficient, but you still have to save from it.
Save it in a high interest account that you don't have direct access to.It is advisable not to request for debit card for that account to prevent the temptation of withdrawal.

Final Words.

Everything listed above is not for reading alone; It is for you to take action. You alone have that power.
