Looking back, I realize that that moment has been repeating itself in my life over and over again. And it always begins when I ask myself: What do YOU want? At every phase of my career, the result to this question helped solidify my objective and allowed me the mental freedom to Chase the impossible dreams. I had and have turned them into a reality. This is not some find yourself, inner peace, control your destiny, utopian’s concept… it’s a ‘cut the BS, get real and get down to business’ talk with yourself so you prepare for the journey ahead. We all shuffle plan for our lives but most often are too scared or embarrassed about our ambitions to go after it wholeheartedly. And that’s where it all falls apart. Call it a story, a struggle (trust me it was!!), a phase...
Follow Your Instincts, Believe In Your Uniqueness, Have Plans..
- Forgive Someone: Always forgive a person but never forget his deeds.
- Make an enemy for life: A gentleman has been defined as someone who never gives pain to anyone unintentionally. This leaves plenty of leeway for deliberate rudeness toward someone you can’t stand. Stand up to a bully; speak out against a fraud; fight off a rival for a prize. Care enough about something to make someone mad. An enemy helps you define yourself. As Schopenhauer said, “We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.”
- Create a Dream board for life: When we were children we would daydream all the time. We were skilled at dreaming and visualizing what we would be when we grew up. We believed that anything was possible. As we grew into adults we lost our ability to dream. Our dreams became hidden and once we started to feel like achieving our dreams was impossible dream. A dream board is a great way for us to start believing in your own dreams again. Seeing our dreams every day on a dream board brings our dreams to life. Our dreams become real and we start to have believe in the possibility of achieving these dreams. dream board is a great way for us to start believing in your own dreams again. Seeing our dreams every day on a dream board brings our dreams to life. Our dreams become real and we start to have believe in the possibility of achieving these dreams.
- When you stop and think about it, you’re really not focusing your life on your priorities: Write down your 3 top priorities. Then write down the 3 things you focus most of your life on. Are you spending your time living your top priorities? Consistently spending time doing what matters most to you is one of the keys to feeling fulfilled in your life. If you’re not focusing your life on what’s important to you, it’s time to make some changes.
- Laugh for five minutes every morning (People might call u mad;)).
- Learn and master a foreign language.
- Savings: Start saving 15% of everything you make and invest it in stocks and/or real estate. In five years you will be surprised at how much you have saved.
- FALL IN LOVE. Recklessly, selflessly, unconditionally.
- When you try something new… be open to understand and accept the fact that you won’t know everything and people won’t know everything about you. It’s a process of education and you have to be open to learning at all times.
- Always give back… in any way that you can.
So… here I am and I’m looking forward to what comes next including the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with this vibrant community.
