Insecurity Is Natural

One of the best songs ever written about having a child like faith and trust in the Lord. 

Do you always feel restless, burnt out and exhausted?

Do you feel like you are losing hope because nothing is happening with your life?

Do you sometimes think that your life is without goal or purpose?

Everyone might have felt these feelings once in their lives. 

It is just natural. In fact, it is good. 

Living a life of insecurity allows you to put your trust and faith to the Lord. 

Did you ever wonder why is it that you have done everything but still not getting what you want? 

The reason is that you always DO it. 

Why not have faith, take a back seat and marvel how He beautifully orchestrates the beautiful life that the Lord has prepared for you.

A Crucial Step Revealed On Becoming Truly Rich

I received the image below from Bo Sanchez, the head of the TrulyRich Club whose aim is to guide people towards spiritual enlightenment and financial education. He talks about a crucial step in game changing that should not be ignored.

The Speech That Made Spirits High

I have always like movies about sports. It is always inspiring. That why it is always present in any school's curriculum. It is structured in such a way that it will help develop and enrich an individual to achieve his or her greatest potential. Watch this excerpt from the movie 'Any Given Sunday' and hear the famous inspirational 'inches' speech of Al Pacino.

The Law Of Requisite Variety

"The Law of Requisite Variety" as explained by MindMastery, stipulates that the individual with the highest amount of flexibility of behavior will have the most influence on the system. That basically means that the more choices you have, the more freedom you will feel, and the better a quality of life you can have.

My thoughts: 

Enrich. Be Rich. Reach Out.

Enrich yourself, be flexible, develop more options for yourself. 

I have planned to read more books this coming year. More than what I read this year. I will study new things. Tips from Meegan Benjamin will surely help.

Be rich, not only in material things but also with knowledge and experiences, so you can develop a positive attitude and overcome adversities. Napoleon Hill, the author of the remarkable book below spent two decades interviewing hundreds of people renowned for their wealth and achievement.

Reach out. Once you have reach your full potential, help and teach others to do the same. Begin at home.

Think of this for the coming New Year. After 365 days, check yourself. Others will normally check what they will have achieve. Don't forget to see what you will also have become.

Why Watching Anime Is Good For You

"Complacency is the greatest enemy. Enemy will exploit all gaps in our mental readiness." This is a line from Naruto Shippuden 241. Naruto is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become the Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. 

Not only that this anime talks about friendship and loyalty, this anime as a whole teaches a lot about hard work, patience and willingness to learn. We are faced with trials everyday. Can you count how many times you feel down and how many times up? How many times did you experience rejections, failures and mockery? I bet you can count more negative feelings. This negative feelings are persistent. This is good. What? How can this be good? This prepares you to be strong and be resilient. How? Now that you know how it is to have a negative feeling, i.e. you are not motivated to work, you lack energy, you seem the world is coming down on you, you resigned to yourself and more, you will do things to prepare yourself not to experience them. Your goal is to live a stress-free (or to be realistic stress-less life). So subject yourself to all kind of stimulation and try to get all the lessons from them, try to remember all the feelings that you felt. It would help if you write them too. And then formulate on how to cope with it. For example, you feel so lonely because you are away from your family and will be missing a very important occasion, write this down on one column, then on the other column should be your solution to address this feeling. One item maybe is saying, schedule an online video session,  or leave a video message and encourage them to do the same. You have to keep this list of yours and get back to it when you always feel this feeling. What is important is you acknowledge the feeling and then do something about it. Don't let the emotion overpower you. Don't be complacent.

How To Get The Best Of Yourself

When we were younger, we have big dreams, high hopes, goals and aspirations. Why is it that as we aged, the dreams disappear, the hopes becomes frustration. 

As we struggle through everyday life, we encounter rejections and failures. A lot of people might tell you, your product will be crushed by the competition. That your music isn't unique. That your talent is good as a waste. These unpleasant experiences prevents us from getting a better view of our beautiful mountain of dreams.

But again, we are all born the same. It's a matter of viewpoint. The  book called It's Not About You mentioned the parable of blind men and an elephant.  A group of blind men touch an elephant to learn what it is like. Each one feels a different part. Naturally, they will say different things. Similar to what other people will tell you. They will tell you different things. Some good and some bad. Take the good and the bad, but don't be swayed. You set your own sail. You may fail several times. But you can try again. Until you get it. Until it sinks in you.
