THIS YEAR = NEW BREAKTHROUGH!!Here is MY GOAL for all that I've shared from last few months till now, you can start working it all to all of your life systems, you know, your career, your relationships, your financial futures, your health, everything. Improvement in all areas. Sometimes you need to just spend a little more time on one area of your life because that may need fixing or repairing or expanding, you know all systems need to be worked on.
And hopefully the variety of ideas that we're gonna shared here in all of these time will gonna helpful for you.
Then I've a request, "How many of you promised me that when somebody ideas make good sense you'll PASS THEM ALL to somebody else?"
Yes, I look with my sixth sense that everybody agree :-) See that's what's make me extremely happy, that the ideas that are gonna be shared, long after you read these BLOG. That's what important to me, that the idea will continue.
LET ME WRITE ABOUT SETTING GOALS. All of the things that really help transform my life, goal setting really did wonders for me. I read some of Jim Rohn books when his mentor (Mr. Shoaff) said this to Jim, "Let me see your current list of goals and let go over them, and I got some experiences. Let's talk about them, maybe I can give you some help."
And Jim saih once to his mentor, "I don't have a list."
Mr Shoaff continued, "Wow, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LIST OF YOUR GOALS, I CAN PROBABLY GUESS YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHIN A FEW DOLLARS."
Jim response, "You mean to tell me if I had alist of my goals, it would make a different in my bank account.
Mr Shoaff continued, "A DRASTIC DIFFERENT!!" (it got my attention too...)
So make these note :
THE FUTURE'S WHERE WE GOIN' THE PAST'S WHERE WE BEEN THE PRESENTS WHERE WE ARE.
And if we can capture these moment in time from our past to now, and then from now to a future, more will design with better objective and better purpose for ourselves, our family and our business, pur investments, everything else and these moment in time will have become extremely valuable.
Let me share and give you first what really affects us all :
1. We're affected by the (physical) environment in which we live.I was challenge way back in most early days, " WHY NOT MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT BETTER EVERYWHERE YOU GO?"
Like TURN OF THE LIGHTS WHEN YOU CHECK OUT OF YOUR HOTEL (or maybe your dormitory) AND YOU LEAVE THE ROOM BEFORE YOU LEAVE, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS.
And I thought, why do that? I learn that to make a contribution is that SO EASY, that didn't cost you any time and money, or a piece of your life. Why not make the contribution that easy, because if everybody did it, think of how much we would conserve?
Someone said, "Well yes, but the hotel benefits if you turn off all the lights."
And here's the answer that sophisticated people always have, "Who cares who benefits."
If it benefits the hotel, and everybody did it, probably the cost of the hotel would come down. Every benefit you can give and share, because here's what happens :
IF YOU LEARN TO GIVE YOU WILL RECEIVE.
Maybe not in the manner in which you gave, maybe in some mysterious ways, it always comes back to us. In fact here's what it says, that for the uneducated it'll a be a little bit strange, it says it's better to give than it's to receive. Now see if you don't didn't understand, you would say that doesn't quite make sense. Surely it would be better to receive than to give? And the answer is NO! It's much better to give than to receive. And here's why, it's what we call being in having intelligence self interest, nothing wrong with self interest as long as you do it in the intelligence way.
Here's the key : Because GIVING STARTS THE RECEIVING PROCESS. So to act intelligently in your own self interest, which is good, it's much better to give than it is to receive. Because all of you do, all you do is receive that maybe very limited. But if you give and giving starts the receiving process coming your way from unknown resources and from unknown places back it comes around to you because you become a giver. There's a unique mystery of life, we give to receive and it's better to give than it's to receive.
And one more else : It raises your self esteem plus your self respect that you do things that the average person doesn't do, maybe if they would thought they would, maybe if somebody mention it, they would. But it easy for most everybody to go their way, and if they're not interrupted by a good idea, that says, "Hey it's so easy to make contribution, this one would be easy, turn off the lights when you leave the hotel room, and make a contribution.
Next is the phrase in term of environment : ALWAYS LEAVE SOMETHING BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT. A high percent of people leave the apartment or dormitory trash! If they stay six month and stay one year, they leave it trash, not better. Why would anyone do that? I read a suggestion : LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT. See that's just the commitment to your own self esteem, and why not do it if it makes a contribution to your self esteem. It's called INTELLIGENT SELF INTEREST.IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THE FEW, WE WILL SOMEDAY GIVE YOU A POSITION of very high important over many. But if you don't be disciplined when the amount are small, why would be trust you when the amount are large? WHY WOULD LIFE GIVE YOU A FORTUNE TO MANAGE IF YOU COULDN'T MANAGE THE GIFTS OF THE FEW? Interesting philosophy to consider. Your own self interest leave the contribution.
I was there when I leave a restaurant and give me a toothpick, it's easy to throw it to the floor somewhere looks like other people done the same. And I read this suggestion : PUT THE TRASH IN YOUR POCKET AND THEN DEPOSIT IT AT YOUR HOME. How much does it cost to clean the trash on the highway in Jakarta?
MEGA MEGA MEGA MILLIONS. Would people take home their own trash and deposit it there rather than scatter it on the highway across Jakarta, and the answer is MOST PEOPLE DO NOT ! It's so easy to throw it up the window but now add this : IT'S SO EASY TO KEEP IT IN YOUR CAR, and have a few more points in your favor on self esteem, feeling good about yourself, doing things that most people don't do.If every did it, what a different country we would have. But it doesn't really matter. But if everybody is not gonna do it, why should I do it?
And the answer is your for own dignity, and for your own self esteem, you do things that most other people allow themselves to do that you didn't do. Read More...
