Taking control
Things haven't been merry for me lately. I had a lot of things on my mind for the past few weeks and only last night while I was lying on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling in darkness did I realize that I had let my life spun out of control. No, I wasn't doing drugs or anything that would compromise my dignity... unless reading the Twilight series is considered as one? Just kidding! I went off a huge tangent of my life goals, to the point that I though I couldn't turn back, to the point I nearly wanted to give up and bury myself into the abyss of depression. Funny how a major revelation can occur at the most inconspicuous moment and this time I'm in for the long run. I am not growing any younger and I have wasted much of my youth chasing so many unrealistic dreams and as a result I was burned countless times. So last night I decided to change for the better, to change for the future. I have a vision. I have a mission. I have goals I want to attain.My Vision:
To achieve the highest state of self-actualization.
My Mission:
To execute and implement strategic life plans through courage, consistency, perseverance and acceptance.
My goals:
- To think outside the box and accept new learning, as well as breaking away from complacency at work.
- To accomplish financial freedom through assiduous frugality, smart saving and wise investments.
- To adopt a consistent healthy lifestyle which leads to a healthy mind, body and soul.
Never give in and never give up until I have tried everything.
Watch me, I shall prevail! Or die trying! ROFL!
But of course to make a change, some sacrifices will be inevitable, especially when it comes to time. I know that I have events seven days a week but sometimes they help me to see things in perspective, or at the very least, keep me going like a Duracell battery. However if I am not careful enough, I will subject my body to unnecessary physical and mental stress, and before long I would most likely end up far worse that I started out.
Without a doubt, I shouldn't attempt to reach my goals in a short span of time. This will only set me to fail rather than to succeed. I'm still on the right track to clear my credit card bills although with recent predicament, I have to delay but not deviate this goal at the moment. It will probably take a bit longer than I have anticipated but I will give it my best shot. I also want to save up to buy a pair of decent running shoes so I will motivate myself to run every other day. A nano iPod would be nice too but not a necessity. That will come later in August when I finally clear off all my debts, assuming no unexpected turn of event appearing out of nowhere. I cannot predict the future and I know plans do not always go according to what I want. I am also thinking of attending a short course related to my occupation sometime in June/July in Singapore and I hope that will broaden my skills and knowledge. As for Masters degree, I will go ahead and propose it for next year with Australia as my first choice (unless it takes more than 15 months to complete). There will be many more goals this month but I will save them for the next blog. After all, I wouldn't want to lay out all my cards yet, not when I have something else up in my sleeves. A bigger game plan has yet to come...
With that I bid the readers a good night and I hope yall (LOL, that sounds so incorrect) have had a great weekend. Till next blog, be cool, be inspired, be who you are!
