The joy of celebrating Christmas is there. All around the globe in almost every culture, the birth of the Savior, Jesus-Christ will be celebrated in different ways.

Just as Jesus came with the purpose of reconciling a fallen humanity with God, and He worked hard to make it happen, we should follow His example to live a fulfilled life through Him.

As we enjoy festivities, one should not forget that life is also about creating values to bring change in others life. Those values come from a vision to improve your life or others life through established goals you will pursue with hard work and persistence.

I wrote this article very short to give you enough time to celebrate Christmas with your beloved one and I would like you to answer these 7 simple questions that could help you focus your coming year on priorities.

These questions are driven by proven methods I developed last year in one of my articles. Answers to these questions covers 7 key aspects of your life on which you could invest to reach new heights.
