Feel the fear & do it anyway

Millions of years ago, fear was our body's way of telling us that we are out of our comfort zone. It signaled us of possible danger & gave us burst that we need to run away. Unfortunately our response was useful back in those days when wild animals were out on loose, but most of our fears today are not that life threatening at all.

Today fear is a signal we need to be more alert and do some research before leaping forward. So don't let the fear today keep you away from moving forward. Once you feel the fear, acknowledge it perhaps appreciate it & do your homework to move on. Today fear is only:

Persistence

Continuing on the thought of Ten Emotions to Practice from few days ago i think practicing Persistence is another good one..

Persistence is probably the single most important quality of those extraordinary people who go on to achieve massive success. Whenever you hear someone who made it big out of rags will talk about never giving up, staying in the game. The longer you hangs around, the greater the chance of something happening in your favor. No matter how hard it gets going, the longer you stick around the better chance of you achieving.

"If you are going through hell, keep going"

so hang in there & i will see you @ the top tomorrow... (:

Rewarding inner child

Inside each human resides three separate egos that makes up ones unique personality. We all have parent-like ego, adult-like ego, and child-like ego which acts much same way as our parents, adults and children do in real life.

Adult Ego in us is what keeps us going like getting to work on time, providing food & shelter to family, being responsible etc.

Parent Ego in us is what take cares of us, like eating healthy food, taking rest, tieing your own shoes, brush teeth etc. It is the desire in us that takes care of us.

Child Ego in us acts the same was as child does, which begs for attention, needs love, hugs and acts out when its needs are not met. It carves for rewards after success.

Our child-like ego is the most sensitive ones, if a parent tells a child who's asking for ice cream or candy that mom is doing her report due in 20 minutes after that we will go and get some ice cream. A child will usually calm down and wait till 20 minutes.

Big part of our life is rewarding our self after our accomplish. When you tell the child inside you to wait till the job is finished. It will wait till that end, but when we tend to neglect it only then it starts to sabotage our efforts by doing things like getting us sick, having accidents, making mistakes, forcing us to take break, vacation, rest, thus further distancing us from our desired result. So this need is very important to satisfy..

wishing you better day than good, good luck!

Satisfaction

Have you ever wondered the last six words a~c~t~i~o~n. The world "Satis" in Latin comes from "enough". What the ancients Romans realized way back was the simple fact that the enough action will produce end result satisfaction.

A lot of people spend a lot of time planning, preparing, all these are good but don't get in state of analysis paralysis. Once you set your aim, the key it to start moving, take actions toward your aim. Once you set in motion, you start moving towards your goal and it starts moving towards you. Along the way there will be difficulties, setbacks, but if you are determined and take enough action you will meet the ultimate satisfaction!

wishing you better than good day or something better../

Our Power

A famous Zen story tells of a monk whose temple is invaded by an enemy warrior. "Do you know that I have the power to kill you with this sword." the warrior says. The monk replies, "Do you know that I have the power to let you?"

We all have power, it is our willingness. To be sitting & writing I am using my will power, you are using yours by reading & surfing Internet. it is up to us how we use this power. Some use all their energies to make excuses, play blame game, while others use it to create things, manifest destiny. How do you use your power?

Hope you are having great weekend!

Wisdom of Age

"I always wanted to be someone,
today I am someone, but its not me."

Age 20, you spend most of time worrying what others are thinking about you
Age 40, you don't give a darn about what others might be thinking about you
Age 60, you finally realize that all the time no one was thinking about you at all

Moral of the story is that while you were busy worrying what others are thinking about you, all this time they were busy worrying what you were thinking about them! so those of you who are starting their journey follow your instincts, desires, and heart to move towards your ambitions.

Don't ever worry about what others might be thinking, saying about you. If you are true to yourself, you know you are on right path than opinions of others is just the "good opinion of others", nothing more, nothing less!

Be true to yourself. . .

E + R = O

Event + Response = Outcome

In its simplest form the formula above suggests that your events, the circumstances that may not be in your control happens and your response to them which is in your control determines the outcome of a situation. The only thing that really is in our control is our respond. This also suggest that when there's a communication breakdown, we are part to it 50% to be least because we failed to convey our message in its exact form. Once we accept the responsibility (from the word respond with an ability) we tap in to our creative sense to come up with the desired outcomes.

If ever you decided that the outcomes are not aligned with you desires, change the responses to the events.

"It is not what happens to you,
But how you react to what happens
Determines the depth of your character."

Wishing you better day than good! (:

Living in the moment

"He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has!"

There's saying if you want to live with guilt live and hold on to your past. If you want to live in fear and uncertainty live in future. The statement is so true. A lot of us hold down to our past that we don't realize and live life to our fullness. When one door closes, another opens somewhere else but we keep looking at the door that closed so long to never realize the opportunities that come around.

Life is about being in present moment, past is history and future is not guaranteed to anyone. All we have is today to live in, make best out of present situation and what you will have tomorrow is a happy past and more hopeful, prosperous future to look forward to.

All life is collection of present moment's summed together to make our experiences, and shape our future. If we can somehow start living our life in this moment we will definitely have a good past and a bright future to look forward to.

go start living your life in this moment & I will see you at top tomorrow. signing off ~/

12 Months of Motivation

Last year I got calander from my boss. It was one of the best things I ever received. I guess she tried hard to push me & keep myself above water (: Before I toss away my Motivational Classics Calendar for 2006, I thought I might as well do an entry of quotes that it had for each month. Some were worth giving thought to. So here we go..


TOGETHER WE CAN Every ocean is the sum total of many rivers, some mighty, some small, but all contributors to the final outcome DESTINY Watch your habits, for they become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny NEVER GIVE UP Go over, go under, go around, or go through-but never give up PRINCIPLES The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the full light of day SERENITY Peace is not found in what surrounds us, but in what we hold within SUCCESS success is a journey... not a destination BRILLIANCE When a collection of brilliant minds, hearts and talents come together..expect a masterpiece CHARACTER The strength of our character is rooted in the depth of our convictions GENEROSITY Never underestimate the power of giving. It shines like a beacon throughout humanity ATTITUDE A positive attitude is a powerful force that cannot be stopped! CHANGE Without change there can be no progress. Without progress there can be no future DISCOVERY Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference

Ecstatic 2007

As we tap in to 07, here are few things we might want to consider to have a happier, prosper year ahead.

1. Eliminate
2. Increase
3. Improve

Eliminate the things that cause conflicts, distractions, confusion, add complexity to life and disrupts. These are things that makes us loose our energies.

Increase the things that help clarify, build confidence, cooperation, enthusiasm, multiply resources, simplify life and assist us focus on things that we really want in life.

Improve on best results. These are our natural talents, and if we polish them further we become EXTRAORDINARY at them. A lot of people work on their weaknesses and become average. I am not suggesting that we should turn blind eye towards it, but in process of improving on them don't forget the things we are best at.

wishing you better year than good, signing off; yazi ~/
