If You’re Looking for Success Study the Ways of the OX

 

February 2021 ushers in the Year of the Metal Ox.  Whenever I think of an ox, I see

an image of this hard-working animal, toiling in the field, working diligently and staying on task. The success of the ox lies in its steadfast nature and the way it approaches any job it is given… step by step, day after day, field after field until the job is finished.  If you’re looking for success in 2021, it will benefit you to study the ways of the Ox.

Make plans to harvest your success

2021 is the year to plan and build a solid foundation for success, whether it is in the area of education, family, love, business or finance.  It might seem that things are moving too slowly as you plod along day after day…but it is exactly this diligence that will reward you in the end. Consider the natural order of the universe and what goes into a successful harvest.  The ground must first be tilled and properly prepared for the seeds to grow and thrive.  One must continue to tend to and water the fields so that the crops will mature and eventually be harvested. No steps are skipped to speed up the process. When you begin with the end in mind it’s easier to plan a step-by-step approach for whatever project or goal you intend to achieve.

Zhanna, 2021 isn’t a year that favours the lazy. It’s not a year that rewards dreamers who do nothing to achieve their goals…except dream. It’s going to take real effort – so don’t expect any “get rich quick” schemes to come to your rescue.  If you are frustrated, think of the old saying…” Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” Or change it a little to:  Day by day in every way I am becoming more successful.  Patience is one of the key secrets to success in any year, but it is especially important in 2021.

Those who stay in the game will be successful, so don’t give up or quit anything too quickly.

As human beings we have the ability to control our thoughts, and our thoughts are what drives us to either success or failure.  It’s time to step up and demand success, not just wish for it. Begin to build a well-thought out plan with solid goals.  Since your actions are always in harmony with the dominating thoughts of your mind, do make sure your thoughts are positive and not filled with doubt and negativity. Stick with it in 2021 and make the necessary changes to achieve success.

And always remember the ways of the Ox.
