Progression

It's been a long while and much have definitely happen since my last post. 

I got married, became a husband , move into my own house and is going to be a daddy this month.

As the title suggest, progression. looking back from 2011 till now, much progression have definitely take place. 

But that not the point. something closer to heart is what I like to share and pen down and that's goal setting.

October is actually a good month to plan for ones goals and objective for the following year cause its common believe that goals drives a person. provides a direction but a shared written goal yield a higher rate of success compare to one that is kept private and personal.

With family moving on a high gear, pretty much other things get neglected by me. 

For the present seem bigger then the future this moment in time.  

   

So what am I setting goal? cause in my heart there is still a discontent, a ripple that never cease, to do the things one love doing and that's what got me back into blogging again.It's a feeling that I miss, a means to pen down my thoughts , a way for me to reach out without physically being there. It helps me to alight what I originally desired and despite being off track in my goal, least I am able to acknowledge where was my end point and how I can realign myself towards it.

There are times I get lazy and my best excuses is no time and tired, looking back at my countless memories brings bitter smiles for IF something else was done, something different was applied, I want to have a different set of results, a result I myself would be proud, happy and satisfied with but the experience gain from doing just that way has also been valuable and I wouldnt have it other wise. *maybe for 1 or 2 instances..

In a nut case, an annual goal setting should consist the following element.

1. progression in the positive way.
2. it's brings to focus one thing, one desire that has always been in your heart.
3. focus on the daily, important but small task and the rest will take care of itself.     

4. it must be written down and visually seen daily.

To run a marathon starts with focusing 1 step front of the other.

Desire & Intention

Like most normal human being, I do have a job and i make a living out of it. This year during a weekly training, I am task to identify what would be the one that will a break through in my career.

Personally, the quality or displaying of desire & intention means a lot to me. As an individual in the career of insurance agent, I display an inconsistent amount of desire & intention. The focus and drive is always fluctuating, resulting in inconsistent performance on a monthly & yearly basis.

The first step to improvement is to be aware. I am acutely aware that my desire & intention to perform is not strong. Not burning yet. Always make myself circumstances of situation. Jumping from doing the next best thing that catch my fancy and back.

Taking a step back, I reckon myself to be lack of desire or too comfortable with current environment. Last year was a year of breakthrough for me. Where I display a strong desire and intention of excelling in my career.

When the decision was made, the mind and the body just clicked and move in that direction. Like a train that just change its tracks. My desire was to achieve my goal and the intention is to meet 2 -3 person a day. There was no room for tiredness, thinking or relaxing. Every action in 1 way or another leads towards the end result – the goal.

I did notice this burning desire that has been missing in my previous year and it dawn on me is that I make a declaration and I approach my client with a desire, intention which was lacking in the past. From “Take your time, think about it and get back to me when you are ready” to “If it’s important, is it important enough to be done now?”

Intention and desire is like the fuel for my emotion and brain. Pushing me to exceed my limiting belief, to set a higher bar of standard and excellence.

Now in the month of Jan, the desire and intention has died down again. Giving way to tiredness and directionless. Once again, the conflict begin as it always does in the beginning of the year. The frog in the well waiting for things to happen.

The key to tiredness is not rest.

The key to tiredness is wholeheartedness.

This year 2011, instead of sitting on the problem and thinking it though, I desired to work while continue to find my key.

Thoughts for the day

Some of us have high human interaction daily while others hardly has any at all.

Its important that should another person cross our path even for just one day. At least make you the highlight of that person day even if its just one day. There's always a first time and a last time. Make the encounter last.

Maximize the impact of good things. Miminize the impact of negative things.

Smile , Humor & Creativity. Some ingredients of making a memorial encounter.

The simplier things in life is, the happyier you can be.
