ASSESSING YOUR YEAR: A REFLECTION ON ACHIEVEMENT AND GROWTH IN THE OLD YEAR
Hello everyone, it's with utmost regards i want to share a thought that kept me reflecting through today which i want to share with you all my amazing family. It is common with humans to step into the new and suddenly forget everything about the old. Last year was characterized with many challenges and setbacks but like every other time in the history of man is without victories and successes recorded.
As the year unfolds, it's essential to take a step back and assess your progress in the previous year. Reflecting on your achievements and experiences can help you identify areas of growth, celebrate your successes, and make informed decisions about your future.
Why Self-Assessment is Important
The Bible emphasizes the importance of self-assessment and reflection. In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul writes, "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves." Self-assessment is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth, allowing you to:
- Identify strengths and weaknesses (Romans 12:3-8)
- Set realistic goals and expectations (Proverbs 16:9)
- Develop a sense of accomplishment and confidence (Philippians 4:13)
- Make informed decisions about your future (James 1:5-8)
- Improve your overall well-being and satisfaction (Matthew 22:37-40)
Questions to Ask Yourself
As you reflect on your year, ask yourself the following questions:
- What were my goals and objectives at the beginning of the previous year? Did I achieve them? (Proverbs 19:21)
- What challenges did I face, and how did I overcome them? (Romans 5:3-5)
- What skills or knowledge did I acquire, and how have I applied them? (2 Timothy 2:15)
- What relationships did I build or strengthen, and how have they impacted my life? (Matthew 22:37-40)
- What are my greatest accomplishments, and what did I learn from them? (Psalm 37:23-24)
- What areas of my life need improvement, and what steps can I take to address them? (1 Corinthians 10:13)
Celebrating Your Achievements
As you reflect on your year, take time to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Acknowledge your hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Treat yourself to something special, share your accomplishments with loved ones, or write them down in a journal (Psalm 103:2-5).
Looking Ahead
As you look to the future, remember that self-assessment is an ongoing process. Set new goals, make plans to address areas of improvement, and continue to celebrate your achievements. By doing so, you'll be well on your way to achieving your dreams and living a fulfilling life (Jeremiah 29:11).
In conclusion, taking the time to assess yourself and your achievements is essential for personal and professional growth. By reflecting on your experiences, celebrating your successes, and looking ahead to the future, you'll be able to make informed decisions, build confidence, and achieve your goals.
Thank you all for taking time to journey with me through this reflective thoughts of mine.

I do agree with you.
Assessment helps us know just how well we've fared, what we've done right and what we did wrong. It helps us starategize better.
That's true.
The fact that we are in the new year doesn't mean the old year should be more like something just tossed away. Rather, it should be a point of self-assessment for us so they we can know where to make improvements and where to celebrate our achievements.
