Have You Embedded ‘The Good Life’ In Your 2024 Goals?

Hello friend👋

First of all, thank you for reading my first letter last week. Although it was an introductory letter. I am happy I was able to begin my long awaited passion since October, 2023 — writing and impacting lives through short letters, one at a time. I  hope you would remain consistent as I consistently write to you bi-weekly onward.

Thanks to those who sent me feedback. You can feel free to reply to this letter. I would love to hear from you all, if possible.

This week, I would like to talk to you about the four things that you need in accelerating your ‘‘own’’ growth for maximum unending interest in 2024.

We have just completed a whole 21-day journey in 2024. You should have built a new habit this year! Have you…? If you haven’t, you can start today. It takes only 21 Days to build a new habit according to experts.

Have you revisited your goals for the year 2024? Do you see them as being realistic or unrealistic? Whichever one you believe is true and very accurate.

Accomplishing your written goals should be your priority. I am pretty sure you did not just write them down just for the sake of writing.

Everyone’s goal is not your goal. Take full responsibility for yours. You have no excuse to fail.

And guess what?

Your goal for 2024 is incomplete if it does not entail you having THE GOOD LIFE.

What do I mean by the good life?

It is a concept that entails four vital things in our lives, which are both basic and universal. They four cardinal items that makes up the good life all represents the salt that makes every delicious food taste delightful and sumptuous. Like the favourite meal you ate some hours ago…it’s yummy!

Your ability to entrench the good life as a lifestyle and priority determines the best version of you automatically. This will not just be for the year 2024. It is for the years and decades ahead of you.

It is a life that you and I want, and we cannot afford to miss it for no flimsy reason.

The first thing on the list of good things is your health. Yes, your health. I am sure you are familiar with the common saying, ‘‘Health is Wealth’’. That is not only true, but it also makes more sense when one has a slight headache or illness. I do not wish anyone to have an illness. However, preventing illnesses should be your priority in this new year.

Ensure your health is a priority on the list of goals you have already set for yourself. If you have not, feel free to add it up after reading this letter. Congratulations if you have it already.

Do not overuse yourself all in the name of being busy, saving money, or whatever excuse it is. Once upon a time, I nearly fainted twice within 24 hours, however, I got the needed medication and non clinical solution to it…it was mainly the fuel the body needs and rest. Why did that happen to me? I trivialised the importance of my health at the time, and even did not sleep well deliberately which was an unwise decision as of that time but now I know better.

No one told me anything before I began to work hard on myself and my health as I do now. Do not spend the money you should use for other aspects of your life on health-related things due to negligence. Take your balanced diet adequately, take enough water, rest adequately, do exercise and go for routine check ups.

‘Problem…dem say he no dey finish.’  Always remember that you have only one body. So you have to take good care of it and never trade it for anything else. Since that incident, I have embraced the first thing that is vital to having a good life.

The second stage towards having the good life all through 2024 is to ensure you ensure you prioritise your happiness.

Nobody can determine your happiness. Things around you may want to make you feel otherwise, staying happy would be the best for you in the long run. Do all you can to secure your territory and ensure you are happy. Stay alive happily.

One of the best ways to ensure your happiness is to do things that make you happy…choosing and prioritising your happiness. It makes others around also happy and ultimately, you can create a lively environment for everyone around you to live in.

Happiness is free but you have the key to make it more free for people around you to access. The NEWS is already filled a number of sad headlines about the happenings around the world.

You have to embrace the good life concept and make the atmosphere around brighter and full of life.

See you during the week for the remaining two things you need to have the good life in 2024 and beyond.

Thank you for reading and I love your zeal for being a better version of YOU!

Till I write to you again, keep doing great and smashing your goals.

Best regards,

James Popoola.
