Living your Dream

I admire and respect people who came from a very humble beginning, had to overcome many obstacles but in the end they immerged a winner and living the life they have dreamed. I love to listen to their stories or read their biographies and they never fail to inspire me. I've always wanted and eager to follow what they did but there's something holding me back.

My FEAR! I have so much fear. Fear of unknown. Fear of failing. Fear of rejection. Ahhh... My fears are preventing me to reach my full potential and becoming successful. I must overcome my fears. I have to deal with it so I could start living the life I have dreamed about.

Success 101

Have you ever wondered how and why people succeed in life and in contrast others fail? I sure do and I really wanted to find out. These days I’ve been reading books and articles about that and I’d be happy to share with you some ideas I’ve been learning.

Here’s what I found out. To succeed we have to set ourselves up for success. What does it mean? It means that whatever happens we need to succeed and we won’t settle for anything less. No matter how difficult it will be, even when things go wrong or misfortunes come we’ll never stop seeking ways to get what we wanted or dreamed of. Success is within the reach of everyone. It is not reserved to few people so anyone can have it. Even you and I are capable to be truly successful. You’ve got to desire it immensely.

Many people never come to realize their dreams because they easily give up when the road becomes so bumpy and steep. Others thought they’re never good at anything that’s why even when they try to do something their subconscious mind thinks they’ll fail and so they will. So be careful with what you think about because it may make or break you.

Are you geared up for success?

No more EXCUSES!

I have to admit that I often make excuses. Even when I really ought to do a task and I know that it is very important I’d still find an excuse. These past weeks I’ve planned to walk daily, write more, read books, listen to my audio lessons and to organize my room but I wasn’t able to do that because I was so busy. Actually I’m busy making excuses. I usually excuse myself because I’m tired from work and beside I needed to have a break, right? And so days, weeks have passed and I wasn’t able to do much. I only managed to write today, the books were due and I had to return them barely reading few chapters and I was not even listening to my audio lessons. Ahhh this bad habit of making excuses is keeping me from living my full potentials and making progress. Making excuses will prevent me to succeed.

Now I have to consciously remind myself not to make any excuses at all. I have to take charge now and act on what really matters to me. Today I’m glad to overcome making an excuse for not writing again.

Creating Success

Just like everybody else I've always wanted to be successful in every aspect of life. For so long success has been very elusive and though I have had some successes, failures keep knocking me off. There were times that I almost give up and just passively waiting for a miracle to happen. But even during those times I would somehow have some inspirations or an inside voice telling me I should do something. That success is for everybody who pursues it. We create our own reality. If we sit and wait then we’ll be waiting for things that are not going to happen. But if we do something today, tomorrow and continue doing it day after day, I believe we are creating exactly the life we want. Sure it is easier said than done but anything of value is worth all that we can give. I'm not giving up in fact I am more focused and committed to my success. Let's begin.

Simply Happy

Today I am simply happy with the things that I’m discovering, learning and doing these days. I have embraced a simple lifestyle and I wanted to continue doing it and create abundance not only for myself but ultimately to help others as well. Of course this isn't very easy as everyday I am bombarded with many beautiful things that I wanted to have but not totally necessary. I believe that material things don't make people happy. The more we have the more we become unhappy because it creates in us a feeling of wanting to have even more. So I chose to live simply and be happy with what I have. Simplicity makes life easier, less stress and eliminates complexities.

Success with English

I have been learning English for many years but old and traditional methods were not effective. Then I came across with a revolutionary method of learning English and speaking automatically and effortlessly. I never thought that learning English could be enjoyable and easy. The results are amazing! I can speak English fluently and spontaneously after several months. I also gained self-confidence and ready to pursue my higher goals. I am very enthusiastic to share this method to everyone because I have benefited so much from this. If you want to learn more check out this page.

Moving On

I was originally from the Philippines and moved here in Vancouver two years ago. I would say that moving here was the best decision I’ve ever made up until now. There are a lot of opportunities available for me here than from where I came from. Being a new comer I also encounter many challenges and difficulties on a daily basis. Things, ways of doing things, lifestyle, culture, language and even the weather are totally different and almost everything is new to me. It wasn’t an easy transition. I had to empty my cup so I could fill it up again with new stuff.

As I look back I’m happy that I was able to overcome those difficulties. I could say that I have come a long way. I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes and failures and I’m thriving in spite of challenges and obstacles. Now I’m beginning to adapt quite well but I keep on improving, learning, growing and exploring new opportunities. I hope to be the best that I can be and contribute more to others.

Success for Everyone

Today I’d like to share my thoughts about success. I am not in a position that I’m very successful in fact I'm sharing these with you hoping that we may all learn something, be inspired, take actions and ultimately achieve our individual goals. I thought that by writing these I'll be reminded always to work towards my goals and dreams and make things happen.

Here is a recipe for success:

Be Passionate. All successful people have passion in what they do. They have strong emotional feelings that drive them to work hard and be the best. They work hard, they seek ways and give their 100% attention on what they do or want to accomplish.

Have an Empowering Belief. Success is for everyone who believes in it. If you believe that you can attain it then true enough you’ll have it. Our minds are very powerful and what we think we become. So carefully choose what you believe in. The good thing is we have control over our beliefs. If for some reasons you have limiting beliefs change it now to empowering beliefs.

Be committed. A lot of people fail to succeed because of they don’t commit. Commitment is defined as a pledge to do something. Who do we commit to? We commit to ourselves first and secondly to others that we will do our best all the time. We honor our commitment and do it without reservation. We pursue our dreams no matter what happens.

Be Positive. Of course it won’t be easy. Along the way you’ll meet challenges, difficulties and obstacles but successful people stay positive and see the opportunities even in the most difficult times.

Always think BIG. Dream big and you’ll have a huge success! This is what most successful people do they think of the impossible and make it possible. They imagine or visualize the unimaginable to unsuccessful and make it happen. They take massive actions, they’re willing to risk everything they have, they affect as many as possible, they harvest as much as they can, and share/give as much as they have. These are all thinking big.

I am thinking BIG now.

It's a new day!

Everyday we are presented with new possibilities, resources, ideas, unlimited opportunities and it is up to us to use them and do great things. I have been reading a lot lately and I'm learning new ideas that are mind-boggling. In fact I'm making new plans and commiting to them this time. I'm more focused and my purpose is clear. I am excited to practise all that I have been learning and I hope grow more spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially.

I am moving forward, my past, my failures are history. Today I'll do the best that I can, think positively, focusing on my goals and take actions. I want the best life I could possibly have so I'm gonna work hard to make it happen.

Shopalohic No More

Well I was a shopaholic, a very impulsive shopper. I used to visit malls and stores everyday! I was working in the business district of a busy city and my office was adjacent to a very huge shopping mall. Everyday I would have lunch in the mall together with some officemates and before we went back to the office we would stop by some stores and see what's new. And more often than not I would buy something by impulse. "Oh that one is really cute, I like it, how much is the price? Hmm not too bad, I'll buy this". That was me before. I was obsessed with beautiful things, bags, shoes, clothes and everything that caught my attention even though I knew I had lots of those and didn't need them at all. I also spent a lot on foods because I wasn't cooking at home so every time I had to eat out. The results were huge debts and no savings though I was working very hard and earning a decent income. I was poor! But I learned my lessons.

Now I am a smart shopper. I buy only those that I need. But sometimes there's a fine line between what we need and what we want so I ask myself before I buy anything. "Can I live without this?" I'll probably think about it several times and if my answer is yes then I will forego buying it. I'm getting good with this now. Of course sometimes I have to treat or reward myself for a job well done. So I still buy some beautiful things but not all the time.

A dollar saved is more than a dollar earned.

HAPPY

Today I’m so happy. There are many blessings that are poured upon me. I am so grateful. I think I shouldn’t contain it but instead share it with others. I believe in the saying, “what goes around comes around”. Usually when it comes around it has multiplied already. I have experience this several times and it really makes sense to share and bless others as well.

Huh! The clock says 11:30pm. Time flies and I still want to do a lot of things. I wanted to finish the book I am reading, listen to my audio lessons and write. It seems that 24 hours is not enough. I hope I’ll be more efficient in managing my time. For now I’ll keep it short and I’ll tell you more next time.

Finally....

Today I am so happy. I finally set up my blog account and now I can start blogging. I've always wanted to do this but always too busy to start. I know that when we really want something we always find time to squeeze it in our tight schedule. So I ask myself, "Do I really want to do this?" Then all of a sudden my excuses were gone and I started creating a blog. Maybe you're wondering why do I want to have my own blog. Well, I wanted to improve and practise my English writing skills. English is my second language and I'm still learning it everyday. I thought that writing a blog is a good way to express my thoughts creatively. I also wanted to share my ideas to anyone who might read this blog.

That's all for now. More to come.
