Promoting
Peace, Health and Entrepreneurship with Your New Year’s Resolution: What Is
Your New Year Resolution?
Written By Benjamin
Pulle Niriwa, 01.01.2022
Introduction:
Many years have been coming and going, but it is a known secrete that some
people even at the age of sixty (60) cannot give account of what they have been
able to accomplice in life. Though violence and “sabotage” can lead to this (Bou-Karroum et
al., 2019; Arampatzi et al.,
2018), most of these people could not retire happily because of poor
planning during their active working ages. So, as everyone is preparing for the
New Year, the environment around us cannot be ignored. One group of people who
cannot be left out when one is talking about promoting peaceful environment are
our Dearests Journalists (Riaz, 2017; Kuusik, 2010). Journalists have
been risking their lives to expose dirty secretes that are cancers of peace (Thomas, 2019).
Using SMART Objectives in Your
Resolution: Life is a strategic journey that needs
continued “strategic” and variable “planning” (Bailey, 2019; Mallon, 2019) that can help one to
be able to survive it. To be able to do this easily without stress, one would
need some aims/objectives; some of these might be short terms whilst others are
of long terms. Whether short or long term, the objectives that one chooses or
sets must be SMART. Choosing SMART objectives means that, they must be
“Specific”, “measurable”, achievable/“attainable”, realistic/“relevant”, and
“time-bound” (Bjerke & Renge, 2017).
There
are many things that people always wish they could achieve but it is not
possible that one can achieve all that he/she wants in just a day. So in making
a New Year’s Resolution (Fig. 1B.), one needs to prioritize what he/she wants
to achieve or do in life. This means that he/she must know what specifically
he/she wants to do (specific); whether with the available resources
(measurable) he/she can be able to achieve it (achievable); whether what he/she
wants to do is something that is of importance with respect to his/her current
situation(s) (relevance); and specific time limits or deadlines within which each
objective must be achieved (time-bound).
As
the world is really a global village now, whatever you do at your corner might ends
up affecting others either positively or negatively. The COVID-19 pandemic that
we are all experiencing did not start automatically with many people, it
started with an index case in someone within a family (Cao, 2020). In every country,
it firsts some one or two person(s) before it spreads to involved others (Kalan Farmanfarma et al., 2020; Kenu et al.,
2020). So, though the objectives are about you, the general environment
must not be left out. Has something in your New Year’s Resolution that would
support the “common good” (Albareda & Sison,
2020; Haile, 2017).
One
of the strategic ways that people can use to set their objectives in life, is
to use: “New Year’s Resolutions” (Tempero, 2021;
Höchli et al., 2020; Oscarsson et al., 2020). This is an example
of the “preparation” (Niriwa, 2021; Niriwa b., 2020) that each and every
one of us on Earth needs to do to help promote individual, interpersonal,
national and global peace, health and entrepreneurship.
To
be able to make a result-oriented/goal-oriented new year’s resolution, one
cannot leave out “Self-assessment” (Taylor et al., 2020), we need to
self-assess our lives not only during this time but daily or always. If one
does not want his/her new year’s resolution to just be a formality, the preparation
process leading to that; must be simultaneously accompanied with
self-assessment of his/her life. Be real with your current situation or your
background during the setting of any objectives or aims in your life. The same
is applicable to the setting of a new year’s resolution. Anyone who fakes the
setting of his/her new year’s resolution is only trying to leave a fake life
for that year!
There
are three inter-related triplets that help people to survive on earth and can
never be ignored during the setting of a new year’s resolution. These are
health, economy (entrepreneurship) and peace, which I tried to help people
understand in a book that I am still writing (Niriwa, 2021) and always apply
them in their lives for successes. Just like human beings need some synergies
to create a conducive environment for daily activities, these interconnected triplets
also work synergistically to help survive.
Understanding the 21st
Century’s Inter-Connected Triplets of a New Year’s Resolution for Survival:
Anyone who did not understand how health contributes to peace and economic
activities should cast his/her mind on the COVID-19 pandemic (Cucinotta & Vanelli, 2020) which, though
not a human being, has been ruling the world for over two years now. During the
lockdown period of this pandemic, the world had experienced a rapid economic
deterioration (Wang et al., 2021; Nicola et al.,
2020). During this difficulty, many mental health issues or emotional
problems were recorded as a result of the increased discrimination and stigma
associated with it.
People
not being able to go about to do their normally daily activities freely or
continue their economic activities that can help them financial and material
wealth, clearly tells all and sundry; how health can contributes to one’s
wealth and peace. This also explains the popular realistic sayings that: “Health
is wealth” (Carlson, 2016; Phrasisombath et al., 2013) or “Wealth is
health” (Phrasisombath, 2013). The roles that the
various genders are playing during this pandemic (Niriwa a.,
2020; Niriwa b., 2020) are very important not only to help us
curb the pandemic’s menace, but to also help create a peaceful environment for
daily economic activities or entrepreneurship.
The
saying that “Wealth is health” (Phrasisombath, 2013) also indirectly
tells readers how entrepreneurship can also promotes healthy and peaceful lives
for economic development. How? To get the wealth that you need to be healthy;
you must do something or engage in daily economic activities (do business or
businesses) that can be exchanged in return for financial or material wealth.
These economic activities or businesses that people do daily for financial and
material wealth are what make them “Entrepreneurs” (Pahwa, 2021; Duermyer, 2020).
Peace
is the foundation of everything on earth! Without peace nothing can go on
smoothly as revealed by the painful example of COVID-19 pandemic too. If any
nation has never experienced a curfew/lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns
(Palmer, 2020) have made almost all nations on earth
to experience it (Graphic, 2020; Crabbe, 2020). There were video
circulations of soldiers giving disciplinary actions to flouters of partial
lockdown orders laws (Ayamga, 2020; Crabbe, 2020).
The
behaviors that were associated with even partial lockdowns in some nation like
Ghana (Ayamga, 2020;
Crabbe, 2020; Graphic, 2020), were indirectly
telling us how important peace is and that we all need to be protect it. Those
behaviors that were seen, like soldiers asking people to “walk” on their “knees” (Ayamga, 2020), are worsened than what
happened when the peace of a nation is lost and a curfew is imposed!
What
used to be normal and not a crime, like marriage ceremonies; can suddenly
become criminalized, as seen in the COVID-19 pandemic (Dapaah, 2020). Life is both
physical and spiritual! In a violent environment, both physical and spiritual
activities come to a standstill. So, when there is no peace; it affects every
activity of a nation and therefore mostly leads to serious economic hardships that
can also negatively affect the health of her citizens.
Prepare for the New Year with A
Positive Mind Set: Irrespective of the differences in our
faiths, most humans on Earth believe that God really exists and He is actually our
source of everything in life. Being divinely favored from a month of victory (December,
2021) or year of victory (2021) into another victorious month (January, 2022) or
year (2022), is a testimony that; “to God everything is” really “possible” (Matthew, 19:26. KJV. 1611; Luke, 1:37. KJV. 1611). Though most people
have different understanding and different interpretation of “divine affairs” (Shtulman & Rattner, 2018), most people
believe that, “To God, all things are possible”
(Smith, 2021).
This
optimistic feeling is something that can give people positive expectation(s)
about life and, therefore, serves as a source of hope to carry on with life
whilst trusting Him. Jesus has proven the possibilities of God by healing all kind
of diseases/sicknesses whilst on Earth and there are sixty-three (63) verses in
the Holy Bible that talk say that there nothing that too difficult for Him to
handle (Smith, 2021; Mc Tavish, 2018; Macrae,
1995).
January
is a month of victory that begins many victories in life this year (every day
of your life is a victory; every week and month of your life is a victory). If
you have been divinely favored to witness this day, all that you need to do is
to thank God for His favors and begin to put up corrective measures in your
life. You can do this by first forgiving all those who might have wronged you
in 2021. After ask God to also forgive you and start afresh. If you have been
for something and you think that you are not getting an answer it, it could be
answered according to God’s will or you should move into an action “prayer” now (Stupart, 2020; Smith C. , 2019; Fig. 1A.).
Adding
Prayer in New Year’s Resolution as Your Spiritual Preparation for Peace, Health
and Work: Prayer, according your faith, is your spiritual
preparation! Without faith no one can be able to please God: He rewards those
who seriously seek Him (Hebrews, 11:6, KJV, 1611). A Ghanaian gospel
musician, Akua Serwaa Bonsu, re-emphasized this in her album “Ebeye Yie” by
saying that: “Gyedie nnim a obi nti mi nso a ni” (Bonsu, 2020), meaning that
without faith no one can please God. There are medical or scientific proves
that prayers can heal (Andrade & Radhakrishnan, 2009; Krause & Hayward, 2013),
this means that prayers really work.
One
of the best ways of preparing a new year, apart from thanking God and asking
for forgiveness, is a change of heart to change for good (McDaniel,
2019).
When we thank God, we are not only showing appreciation to Him for everything:
we are also indirectly giving Him the chance to still lead us in our journey of
life (McDaniel, 2019). Behaviors that were
not helping you and others should be logged out for you log in behaviors that
would benefit and human kind.
Change of Behavior as the Hallmark
of Good New Year’s Resolution: I was the biggest
critics of Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah, not because I do not like him but
because of my love to see people happy and mother Ghana develop in peace. I
personally admire his charismatic nature but I hate his intolerant behavior as
a man of God.
Fortunately,
he is saying that it is politic that made him behaved the he behaved that he is
no more “for NPP” or any party but God (Ghanamma., 2022). He has learnt his
mistakes and as a man of God I am sure he has prayed to God to forgive him for
those behaviors, especially his yearly false prophecies against prominent
personalities in Ghana like His Excellency Former President John Dramani (Offei-Akoto, 2020; Rauf, 2019; Reporter., 2020; Yaw,
2020)
and our beloved Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu (BBC., 2019; Mensah, 2019), which nearly cost him
his life and turn Ghana into turmoil.
Prophet
has made his intentions clear that, his new year’s resolution is a change from
dirty partisan politics to do his do his as a true man of God. This is how all
genuine men of God or true Prophets are supposed to behave! It is not wrong for
a man of to admire a particular political party, but he/she must not allow
his/her association to a political party blinds his/her neutrality as a Prophet
or Prophetess of God. I admire him for his new decision as a Christian and I
also salute him for not attacking me when I criticized him frankly with a
neutral mind.
The
lesson that every human being should from his public declaration is his
confidence to dissociate himself from dirty politics and holds onto God. Though
no one is sure whether he is going to “stick” to his “New Year’s Resolution” (Höchli, 2020) or not, it is an
excellent and an exemplary behavior intension that needs to be emulated. This
is a perfect example of a positive change of heart, mind-set and behavior that
must always accompany every New Year’s Resolution.
Consequences of Poor Planning to
Life Satisfaction, Heath, Entrepreneurship and Peace:
Some of people go on retirement and even where to sleep becomes a bigger
problem for them; as they still have to rent accommodation and go through
unnecessary harassments that some house owners issue against tenants (Osei, 2021; Broadcastghana., 2021). Some of them even
have to go and stay with family members because they could not put up their own
houses before “retirement” (Pilipiec et al., 2021; Kpessa-Whyte, 2018; Scharn
et al., 2018).
Figure 1: The 5Ps' Victory Prayer (A) and
New Year's Resolution (B).
It
is not wrong to take loan, but some people after retirement from active
services, apart societal differences, are still compelled to be engaged in it
in order to settle old loans or indebtedness (Naumann
& Hofäcker, 2015). Some of them because of poor retirement plans,
are pushed into serious crimes after retirement (Gh, 2021; GNA,
2021; GNA a., 2021).
The
most painful thing is that, because our 21st Century’s World is
materialistic oriented; some of these retirees are disrespected and
discriminated by family members, friends, former co-workers, and even children (Vickerstaff & Van der Horst, 2021; Qin et
al., 2020; Rippon et al., 2013).
These treatments could cause health problems in their lives like: “stress” (Ewert & Chang, 2018; Yaribeygi et al., 2017)
or “depression” (WHO, 2020; Assari &
Lankarani, 2016). Depression can also cause hopelessness this would
leads to serious medical emergencies or health problems like “cardiac arrest” (Desai et al.,
2019; Huffman et al., 2013; Everson et al., 1996), cancers (Dauchy et al.,
2013; Gross et al., 2010) or
“stroke” and vice versa (Wijeratne & Sales,
2021; Khedr et al., 2020; Barlinn et al., 2015).
Conclusion,
Suggestions or Recommendations
Just
like prayers that need to be followed by action(s), a New Year’s Resolution
without any accompanying action is just a formality. To help you get an action
oriented New Year’s Resolution, I have given the following suggestions or
recommendations using my opinions, literature, and my successful experiences of
New Years’ Resolutions.
Ø The
first thing to note before every New Year’s Resolution is to use the 5 Interconnected
Ps of Life (Prayers, Preparation, Patience, Praises, and PEACE);
Ø Do
not just start because you want to get a New Year Resolution, but first pray
about it according to your faith or believe. In your prayer, thank God Almighty
for His divine protection and everything throughout your life and the year. Ask
for His forgiveness after forgiving others. Then invite Him to continue
providing for you, your family or friends or all your loved ones and
continuously divinely protect all of you in the New Year and years ahead (the
First P);
Ø Now
tell God to guide you and let His will be done in your lives always, as you
proceed to make your New Year’s Resolution;
Ø All
the above form part of your preparation to start preparing your New Year’s
Resolution. As part of the preparation, self-assess your life genuinely to
identify your strengths and weaknesses. Then decide on what you want to do this
year and the years ahead;
Ø As
part of self-assessing your strengths and weaknesses, find out whether with you
current resources; you would be able to make those decisions or new objectives
realistic and achievable (the 2nd P of Life, this will run
throughout like all the rest);
Ø Have
deadlines for whatever you want to do this year or ahead and be sure of how or
identify ways that you are going to use to accomplice them;
Ø After
setting your New Year’s Resolution, pray about it again. Ask God to give you
the strength and help you to be able to fulfill them;
Ø Now,
start by taking action with your first objective. Do not be afraid of making
mistakes, but be careful and always aim at the best. If, unfortunately, there
is a mistake do not lose hope. Pick up the broken pieces and join them together,
then start! Sometimes, a spare tire can be better than an original;
Ø Do
not be anxious for quick results and do not let money be your first priority,
your interest or desire to solve a problem can bring money! This is where the 3rd
P (Patience comes, but it must also runs throughout like all the other
interconnect Ps of Life);
Ø If
there is success, do not forget to thank God or give testimonies to motivate
others (the 4th P, Praises or Prayer of thanksgiving). People who
know how my life started, always glorify God for His miraculous or divine
favors and protection. One day, I will publish an article about myself as a
testimonies of what God is doing for me and my loved ones;
Ø Contribute
to the promotion of peace wherever you find yourself. This is the external
environment that would support whatever you want to do. Without peace nothing only
violence can go on smoothly in life. So never be part of who cause problems: be
part of those who solve problems. If there is peace, everyone can do his/her
daily economic activities and your New Year’s Resolution can also be fulfilled.
Ø Peace
is health: health is peace, both help you to work for money. So, if you have
not yet taken your COVID-19 vaccination, please read from reliable sources,
understand what is going on and go for your vaccination.
Thank
you for Reading! I Wish All Readers a Happy New Year, and First Month of 2022!!!
