The Power to Change

You have the power to change the world, but you might wanna start small by changing yourself first. So, what do you want to change about your life?

Some people (not you, of course) don't seem to know what they want in life and they are blown about by the whirls and twirls of trends in social media, fashion, celebrity lifestyle and so forth without charting their own course.

Others (not you, of course) know what they want but never really got down to doing it after a flash in the pan ''I will" declaration. Take action and let's get this jargon on some t-shirts soon -- "I'm rolling good".

Yes, you can be a neat and tidy person without a KonMari certification. Get rolling, starting from now. As Marie Kondo would tell you, “Keep only those things that speak to your heart. Then take the plunge and discard all the rest. By doing this, you can reset your life and embark on a new lifestyle.” (Note: Reader's discretion is required. There are certainly things which may not "spark joy" but you keep them such as first-aid box, toolbox, washing machine, insurance policies and legal documents.) 

Do you want to be a comedian, seriously? Why not? You can if that's your natural talent which you have been able to nurture into a self-sustaining passion. Start spreading your brand of humour like what Steve Harvey says: "I'm going to take this God-given gift of being funny, and I'm going to spread it out like peanut butter on everything I do."

Changing the way you look is a sure-fire of changing people's perception of you and may indelibly influence them to treat you better. Some of these attributes would be your posture and gait, confidence level and whether you are well dressed (doesn't have to be expensive or over the top). Hey, even a new hairdo could work wonders. 

All of the aforesaid external manifestations are a reflection of the changes in your thinking to take charge of your life and create a more fulfilling life. 

It is never too late to change. Who knows, if Colonel Harland Sanders had started KFC earlier, his younger self could have been the poster for his restaurants the world over.

Get started and start rolling.

What Makes You Happy?

“It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.” -- Dale Carnegie

Answer: It is what you think about.

So guard your thoughts and choose wisely what you think about. Your happiness depends on it.

Stop Procrastinating : Go forth with TA-DA

When we procrastinate we keep putting things off and end up with loads of unfinished business.

One effective way to get things done is to use the TA-DA formula (Think/Ask/ Decide/Act) as outlined in "The Power of Focus" written by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt.

1. Think

Take a look at your station in life and list out all the things you wanna get out of the way so that you can live your life more abundantly. For example, what is keeping you from enjoying your weekends or holidaying in Hawaii? 

Then prioritise the list so that you can focus on the top few items.

2. Ask 

Having decided on what to focus on, then gather as much relevant information as you could so that you could get all the help you need. 

Internet resources such as Google and YouTube could well provide you with sound advice from the world over. Or, just go check with an expert in person through your contacts. You will be amazed by the natural outlandish talents that different people have. What seem like a mountain to you might only be a molehill to someone else.

For example, you might think that Lersida is an invincible champion fighter and no one would not be able defeat him. But, Gabriel Varga had trained with a game plan and showed that it can be done.

3. Decide

This is the biggie tipping point. Make your decision and don't look back! Move forward as you already have an arsenal of good reasons for getting this done. You have a backbone for your decision and you are not going to back down.

4. Act

Take the first step and repeat regularly till the momentum gathers. For example, start with ten sit-ups a day and you would be able to reach 100 or even 300 daily over time.

Maybe you have decided to run with your two hands. Go for it!
