You know what you want but you don't know how to make it happen? Do you believe it is even possible? Well in a world of opportunity and miracles, anything is possible, and as soon as you BELIEVE this then things will start to happen. Don't panic, here is 5 easy steps toward living that dream. Start with..1 - Get Visual Start by going through magazines and ripping out any pictures that 'speak' to you. They may resemble the way you would like to wear your hair, ... or they may represent freedom, love or foreign places. Go with instinct. This process will enable you to 'visualise' this new life. Paste the images onto a board and hang it on the wall where you can see it often.
2 - Write It Down By writing down your goals you can then start to plan out what you need to do in order to take steps toward achieving them. It is also helpful to note down what you see as stopping you from realising them.
Keep yourself flexible, goals can be easily moved, but remember to stick with your plan - it is easier to travel with a map.
4 - Take Action You can get rid of frustration and doubt by taking baby steps toward your dreams. So you want to run a bistro in France? Well how about starting from TODAY, you seek out language classes, or get a book from the library.

Stress has been attributed to one of the greatest causes of premature aging.
Indeed if you are someone who has a nagging stress or irritation about the same thing day after day that will actually cause a greater strain on your overall health and aging then if you were to jump out of a plane at 14,000 ft with a Yellow parachute. Could You Imagine It? Very Heavy.. If you are stressed, you need to find ways to reduce or eliminate it for reduce it. Now I know that sometimes we are going through one of those seasons of our lives where we external circumstances has added stress and problems to our lives. That doesn't excuse you for allowing yourself to remain stressed and irritated, after all we all have free will and the ability to choose our emotions. Here are my 7 powerful secrets on helping You overcome stress anytime, anywhere.. 1. Get Physical. A great reliever of stress is to get out and do something physical like go to the gym or go for a job. The bonus is that this will not only take your mind of your stress, build up your cardiovascular system to better be able to withstand your stress on the body but it will also help to channel your stress and irritations on something physical.2. Find a Friend. Often times when we are stressed and irritated we just need a gentle ear to listen to. By voicing our feelings and what has caused us to be stressed we can become better aware at the cause of the stress and it may prove to show how insignificant it is or how over reacted we are to the situation.
3. Put things in perspective.
We become frustrated, stressed and irritated with things or circumstances when they don't meet our expectation. I mean if it met you expectation then why would you be frustrated. The interesting thing about frustration and irritation is that, we only get that way if we think that the matter is within our control to change but we haven't been able to do it. I mean if you saw a ball drop from a building you wouldn't get frustrated at the ball because you cant change gravity and its role in bringing the ball to the ground.4. It's all Small Stuff Anyway.It's funny how quick we are to get our emotions revved up when we get cut off from our lane, or find a queue the length of a football field when we just happen to be in a hurry.
While we may not be able to change any of these from happening to us we need to realize that its really only small stuff in the bigger scheme of your life. I mean if you are not even going to remember the event or situation in a years time than why get so worked up over it now. If only you realize that most things you stress over is small stuff anyways then you will find that you have a greater appreciation of what you have in life.5. Live With Gratitude.
Your emotions and thoughts will always be reflected in the word and circumstances you create in your life. If you have an inner turmoil within then it's no wonder that your world is stressed and messed up. Be grateful for your health, your family and friends, the things that you have and the experiences you have had a chance to enjoy; good and bad. Start your day with a sense of gratitude and you'll be amazed at how your life changes.6. Understand That Change Is A Part Of Your Life.The reason we can get stressed is that we feel a loss of control over our lives. We want things to be predictable and have a sense of certainty over our lives.
But what a boring life that would be. If you knew exactly how your life will pan out over the next decade then what's the point of living. Embrace uncertainly, change and the spice of life. Learn to relax and go with the flow at what life tosses you and you'll actually enjoy the ride a lot more.7. Get Over Yourself.
Last but not least you need to realize the world doesn't gravitate around you. As hard as that might seem for most people, it's true. The world gravitates around the sun. The sooner you realize this the better it will be for you to manage your stress. So the next time someone takes too long to take your order at the restaurant, or... when someone misses their deadline for something important that you've been waiting for just realize that they too have they own agenda, goals and they don't necessarily align with yours. Live with it. By implementing the above ideas you will find that you will actually enjoy life more and become more conscious of the life you are living. Dealing with stress is not as difficult as you might think. Remember, its all in your mind. What have you got to lose?. Nothing.These are the people who have a lot more determination than the first. When they don't get their outcome, they will not quit.
They will get themselves to take action again. The motto of this group is, 'I failed because I did not try hard enough' 'If I keep trying, I will eventually succeed'.
So they keep taking action, putting in more time, energy and effort. No matter how many times they fail, they just keep trying harder and harder.
Will they eventually achieve their goals? It depends. If they set small, incremental goals, they may, with enough time and effort eventually succeed.
However, if they set big and exceptional goals, like becoming the top in their field, they will never be successful by just trying again and again.
They may experience a better result, but they won't reach the goals they desire. Why?
Because, although they keep taking action, they do not change their strategy.
If you keep using the same approach, you are going to keep getting the same result. I have seen so many professionals and businessmen repeat this limiting pattern, all over again!
Pattern 3: Get Feedback, Change Strategy and Take Action Until You Succeed.
So what is the pattern that all successful individuals exhibit?
When they don't achieve their goals, they don't think of it as failure. Instead, they perceive it as feedback.
Either feedback that the strategy they used was ineffective or that they did not take enough action. They then use this feedback to immediately change their strategy and take action again.
If they still don't succeed, they will get more feedback, change their strategy and take action again. They keep repeating this process until they get what they want.
They do whatever it takes. So, remember, every time you don't get what you want, it is life giving you feedback. It is this continuous feedback you need to help you adjust your approach until you hit your target.
Successful people re-look and change their strategy whenever they encounter 'failure'.
They understand that failure is feedback. Understand this principle and you will overcome failure and achieve success in no time at all.
My best friend had made me write in English once again, for the second time this week. When he read my last post in Malays, he ask me, "could you write in English?" I didnt believe a kampung boy like you could do that".. what can i say?
Hmm.. looks like he wanna challange me. Well, this time i will give you my 7 great tips to get you and me motivated every day.
You can have the greatest dream in the world, the most fulfilling purpose, and the best education money can buy, but if you cannot get yourself motivated to put it all into action, you will never reach your goals. Never!
Motivation - that is, the ability to get yourself moving - is absolutely essential to any successful endeavor. If you sometimes lag when it comes to this valuable commodity, i suggest you to read on. We'll start these 7 tips with...
1. Your Health.
This may sound like weird advice from me, but energetic, motivated people need to take care of their health. If you feel unmotivated, you might be dealing with a bit of depression or other stress related illness.
Try to get enough sleep, take your vitamins, and get some fresh air and regular exercise. Consider swimming as an option and find a pool nearby to do it. You'll feel more like tackling those dream-related tasks if you feel good.
2. Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan.
Take the time to make a list of the things you'd like to accomplish. Hopefully, you have written out your goals earlier and given yourself a plan of action, but just a to do list will make a difference.
Prioritize the items on the list so that you will complete the most important ones. Sometimes just checking off the done items can feel like a great reward, and will motivate you to get started on the next one.
3. Set The Time Limit.
Get a timer and tell yourself you only have to work for fifteen minutes, for example. You can quit when the timer rings. Weird?
Chances are, you'll get interested in the job, and will feel like keeping on with it when the timer goes off. It's even possible that you will have completed that particular task.
Often, tasks don't take as long as we think they will. At the very least, you will have worked fifteen minutes. Give yourself a little break and then set the timer again.
Not believing what i say? Try it and let me know.
Say to your friends, "errr.. this err, one blogger named Shueqry ask me to set a timer in whatever i do.. I just wanna try it out.."
4. Get To Know When Your Most Energetic Times Of The Day Are.
Are you a morning person? Then you might be better off handling those jobs that require brain energy in the early hours. Save the groggier afternoon hours for mindless tasks.
If you're a night owl, that evening energy can be channeled into productive work.
5. Quit Trying To Be Perfect.
Be natural. Be yourself. In fact, throw that "perfect" word out of your vocabulary.
Shoot for done and good enough. Feeling like things have to be done perfectly is an invitation to procrastinate.
You don't feel like getting started, because you're afraid you won't do the job perfectly. Well, who does? Accept that no one is perfect, and get started.
6. Break The Task Into Tiny, Single Steps.
For example, a writer can break articles down into a sentence at a time. Just write the next sentence.
Young mothers with a lot of things to do have been motivated greatly by this motto: "Just do the next thing." Upps.
7. Don't Underestimate The Value Of Giving Yourself A "Thank You" Talk.
Take five minutes to pump up your resolve. Be your own cheerleader as you work your way through a series of positive self affirmations.
These my 7 "highly-motivated" tips can help you get up and get going on those days when you really would just like to stay in bed and vegetate.
So get up, get motivated, and get going!
What are you waiting for? Get up!
Kali ini saya ingin bertanya pada anda, apa nak buat bila takde duit? Pastinya, pinjam duit ngan kawan, mintak ngan mak, bapak, kakak atau abang.
Cemana kalau bil datang berlambak, sedangkan anda tak cukup duit nak bayar dan due date dah nak dekat? Apa yang anda rasa dan apa yang anda fikirkan? Geram? Susah hati? Tak Puas Hati Sebab Tak Cukup Duit?
Pernahkah anda rasa berbelanja beli makanan tu sesuatu yang menyeksakan dan mengurangkan DUIT anda?
Adakah anda perasan duit yang ada makin kurang dan income yang ada tak dapat di simpan langsung? Pernahkah anda terfikir apa sebabnya? rasanya, tak pernah.. i am talking about the Law of Cause and Effect.
Secara realitinya, tak ramai orang fikirkan puncanya. Mereka asyik memikirkan masalah diri sendiri yang tak cukup duit!
Fikir tentang masalah kewangan, ia akan mendatangkan lebih banyak masalah kewangan. Fikir tentang tak cukup wang, ia akan menarik lebih banyak lagi perkara dan situasi yang membuatkan anda sentiasa tak cukup wang. Ada-ada saja!
Jadi, mulai sekarang, jangan fikirkan masalah. Fikirkan cara nak keluar dari masalah. Focus on solutions.
Tanya diri sendiri, apa yang perlu aku buat untuk selesaikan masalah ni? Cemana nak tambahkan income aku? Apa yang aku boleh buat?
Saranan saya, lepas tu, relaks.. pergi berjalan-jalan atau melihat-lihat keadaan sekeliling. Idea dan inspirasi akan timbul tiba-tiba. Minda perlukan susana yang tenang dan relaks untuk memberikan jawapan.
Kalau anda tak cukup duit, fikirkan tentang banyak duit. Bayangkan anda memegang wang kertas warna Ungu dan Biru yang tebal. Jangan persoalkan kenapa. Jika anda mempersoalkanya, anda seperti tak percaya dengan KUASA MINDA diri sendiri. Jumlahnya? anda yang tentukan.
Lihat diri anda sebagai orang yang sentiasa berduit. Feel it, like it REAL.
Lihat dalam kepala anda, anda sedang memegang duit, rasa kasarnya duit kertas tu, warnanya, nombornya, baunya dan bunyinya bila anda mengira duit tersebut.
Bangkitkan rasa gembira dan rasa gembira sangat-sangat bila anda menerima duit tu. Lebih REAL, lebih baik. Bayangkan sekerap mungkin.
Sekali lagi, apa yang anda fikirkan, akan terjadi. Cuma masa yang menentukan.
Ucap terima kasih atas duit yang anda terima. Tentunya terima kasih tak terhingga pada yang maha Esa.
Bila duit berjuta yang anda fikirkan, then million ringgit will come to you.
Bila masalah berjuta-juta yang anda fikirkan, believe me.. a million tons of problem also gonna come to you!. Unbelieveable? Better Believe It.
Anda takkan rugi apa-apa. Jadi, jangan fikirkan masalah.
Buat sesuatu untuk keluar dari masalah. Fikir strategi untuk keluar dari masalah, hari ini, esok dan sampai bila-bila.
Semuanya bermula di minda anda. Minda adalah kunci khazanah kita.
