Endless Goals

Goals and Dreams in Life

Light at the end of the tunnel

Can we see some shades of light at the end of this dark tunnel? Some of us may seen it while for some others the darkest moment is still yet to come. But we all know that the end of this bad time is going to end soon. Never mind of all the talk in town that the recession is still has a long way to recover and we must be ready for it. It is best that if we less worry and work our way to get out of the situation. First we must get out using our capability and power to push forward.

By now we may already know the cruel things a recession could do. Millions of people are losing jobs and their homes while others are turning to suicide as an alternative to end their agony. That is the impact of capitalism. Of all the wealth we gathered in years of hard work and in a blink of an eye it dissappeared in thin air. Many people have to start for zero again and a later stage of life and lost all their dreams.

Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

Resolution time? Here’s an idea. Change your thinking before you try changing any of your habits.

Let’s take a popular resolution—to lose weight. This is how your thoughts might go…“I am so fat! I have to lose weight! I have no discipline!” Stop. This kind of thinking will not help you change and it may set you up to fail. Your brain hears negative thoughts, and negative actions follow.

Start sending different messages to your brain and you will get different results. Here are some examples: When you say to yourself, “I am fat,” tell yourself instead, “I am going to have a healthy body.” When you hear yourself say, “I have no discipline,” change it to, “I am capable of doing this.” Change “I do not have any time to exercise,” to “I have plenty of time to exercise. When you try to justify eating something unhealthy, stop, and say, “My body deserves healthy food.” Instead of saying, “I hate exercise,” say, “My body loves movement.”

It does not matter if you believe what you are saying right away. You are changing self-destructive talk that has been going on for a long time. This is the talk that got you to an unhealthy place. Don’t worry about how you will change your behavior. Once you start changing your thoughts, your brain will work on making these things come true. You say, “My body wants healthy food,” and you will find yourself looking at totally different menu items. You say, “My body loves movement,” and a few days later you get the idea of walking in the morning with a friend. You are not lazy or undisciplined. You have just gotten in the habit of thinking in a certain way. Change your thoughts and enjoy the feelings of success that will follow. Make this fun. Make it a game. Give it a try. Observe yourself and see how often you find yourself speaking in a negative way. You may be surprised at how hard you are on yourself. After practicing this for a time, you will come up with many more positive things you can say to yourself. And positive thoughts will lead to positive changes.

You can change your actions by first changing your thoughts. It takes time, but it is worth it. Try it! This could be the best year you’ve ever had!

Why do you go to work?

Author: Bob Urichuck

Why do you go to work? Is it for the enjoyment, to keep busy or another specific reason?For years, I have been asking people why they go to work. Everywhere in the world I get the same answer. What do you think that answer is?

If you said money, you are right. However, the answer is wrong, even though it reflects the belief of the rest of the world!

The secret is no-one should ever accept their first answer or the first answer from anyone else. To the extent that you or they think they are being honest, they are not. You must apply the rule of 3+. The rule is to question the answer, question the answer again, and then question the answer further, until eventually; you will get to the real truth.

Give it a try. You go to work to make money. Make money to do what? Do you want a certain lifestyle? What type of a lifestyle? Do you want to fulfil your family’s needs? What are those needs? Do you want to have a home and a car and to take vacations? What kind of a home, car and vacation? We can go on and on.

The bottom line is that you go to work to fulfil your needs. However, you have probably met your basic needs, and you are really going to work to fulfil your dreams, as each of us has different dreams and desires.

Once you realize this, then work is nothing but a stepping stone to help you get where you want to go. The real problem is: do you know where you want to go?

What are your dreams? Do you know where you want to be, what you want to do or to have in three, five, ten or even twenty years?

Can you imagine what life would be like if we could not dream? What would the world look like? Where would we be today? It all starts with a dream.

Our dreams become our desires. It is that burning desire combined with the belief that you can do it that provides you with the motivation to make your dream a reality. When you release that passion inside of you to accomplish your dream, nothing will stand in your way.

Think back to a dream or a desire you once had. It could have been to graduate, to travel to an exotic destination, to acquire a particular item, to be a certain type of person or even to find a spouse, a home or a certain type of friend or acquaintance. Did you not live that dream?

But to live that dream, you had to pay a price. That price may have been going to work.

Please remember, work is nothing but a stepping stone to help you get where you want to go. First, decide where you want to go, what is that long term dream, and how can you use your job to help get you there?

When your job and your dream are connected, you get more excited about going to work. You are more motivated, and you will realize your dream.

How to make your partners call you

If you haven’t heard from a guy after a great date you may be wondering, should I call him? Perhaps he’s lost my number and is not calling me because he doesn’t know how to get a hold of me. And this would obviously be a legitimate reason for calling him, right?

 

Could that really be that he’s lost your number? Or was it something that you did or said that made him change his mind about you? You can be going crazy trying to analyze your behavior on a date with this guy. At times a man will tell you straight up, hey I don’t think it’s going to work. Some men will even tell a woman they don’t think they are a match even when the women has no interest in seeing him again.

Men are just not wired the way women are, and they don’t pick up on subtle intuitive signals a woman is sending. You may be extremely nice and polite on a date and he will perceive it as interest. Yet, you have no romantic interest in him. In which case you really don’t care if he likes you or not, if he will call you or not. And deep down you may be hoping that he won’t call you again and that he won’t pester you anymore.

But sometimes we meet a man and feel that instant attraction. We may even think he could be the one. We have a great time chatting and laughing. It is a fantastic date overall and we certainly hope to see this man again very soon. In fact, we sometimes hope to hear from this man the same night.

And the waiting period after the first date may be the most nerve wrecking time in the relationship. It is when the uncertainty is the highest.

But what if he doesn’t call after a date that seemed to go so well? Should I call him just to check in with him? Should I call him just to remind that I still exist? Should I call him just to make sure he has not lost my number?

Is it better to call him first or to wait for him to call? And what is an appropriate amount of time to wait before calling a man?

Generally men will call women they like within a three-day period after the first date. They have this three-day rule that I am sure you know about.

But what if three days have passed and you still haven’t heard from him? That’s when a lot of women get anxious and start wondering, should I call him myself?

Why do men stop calling after a great date? And why even more mysterious men disappear after two or three dates, and even after dating for weeks and months? Find your answers at He Stopped Calling

Life in an auto pilot

We all like things to be automatic, we drive automatic cars and things are now run automatic. In life too our life are in auto pilot. Our routines are just the same everyday as our mind are program to be in that nature. Sometimes it seems that yesterday moment are just like today or maybe tomorrow. Maybe it is a waste if we know what tomorrow going to be. There will be no moment that we are looking forward to as things are going to be pretty much the same.

Unfortunately that is the situation for most people, running life automatically and to safely. Are we human beings getting more lazy these days or there is nothing else that we should looking into. Since when was the last time we try to do something different or take some risk in life anticipating an outcome that can be more a lot better. Maybe there is none, none at all.

The Need to Change

How many times we have told ourselves that we need changes in life, venture into something new, tap into various opportunities but in the end we found ourselves still remaining in the same situation as we were last year or years ago.

To change need courage because often we do not know what is there waiting for us at the other end of the road of change we choose. We become very unsure and chose to remain in our comfort zone for the rest of our lives. We never know ii if we never take the first step to change we will never know what is out there for us.

We need to remind ourselves of the pain we are enduring all this time in our so called comfort zone if we do not adapt to changes. If we are able to associate pain to our current situation we will find it is much easier to change ourselves.

But still many people failed halfway during the process and go back to their original form in their comfort zone. Often things will not be easy. To do something totally different will not be easy for many people. Our lives can said to be in auto pilot, we wake up, go to work, do the routine, have lunch, back home and go to bed. Almost all of us will have these normal routine cycles of life everyday just as in auto pilot. We can almost do it without even thinking for too long, we are even able to wake up at the same time every morning without the need of an alarm clock.

All these has been program inside our sub conscious mind and very often we reluctant to let go this easy comfort zone even though we know we are far from happy in the situation where we are now.

So why is it hard for us to take action and change. The answer is very simple. The fear of the uncertainty of the other side is far much greater than the pain in the current situation. So we will stay with the current condition as we already know what is in it and there could be no major harm that we cannot endure as we already survived it to this point.

We need to find a way to break through. We need to raise our awareness and to identify what are the actions we need in order for us to make change. We need to make ourselves strongly believe that we can achieve better things in life if we adopt changes and to know that we no longer need our old comfort zone. We need to find some kind of little proof that there is something better waiting for us, that the opportunities are far much bigger and better if we decided to explore more into it. We have the whole universe to explore and it is for use to decide just how much or how big we want from it.

Change happening everywhere and every moment now, we may realize or may not realize it. During the daily course of our life we learned how to live with those changes, like the way we work or how we come to work. There we no such thing as computers or internet 30-40 years ago and the cars we drive now much better and faster than they were 20 years back. All these are changes that blended well into our belief system and we do not resist to their existence.

Mentors are important to guide us in order for us to change and find success. Read their story and experience. They are the best road map and example for us to follow and from their experiences at least we are able to convince our self belief that we can do just the same.

Sometimes we just wonder why are human born to be different. Some are born to be great man and some are not. Maybe it is just how God created us or the way it should be that only a few are meant to be great. Those few are those who used the most of what they are gifted for. Their time, the ability and adapt to changes when they feel need to. Very often their successes are the results of the changes they bring to the world. We will be surprise of their humble beginning of their story and how they make it.

Even they need change to. Life is not about the successful of your business and the amount of money we make. Make more money does not mean making more happiness. We may end up not knowing what we really want in life if we put a lot of our focus in making money alone. Successes are measured in many ways. Of course many of us will use the amount of money we make as a barometer to measure success. Many rich people feel that they still have something to do in this world. It has no end to the list. In fact no lifetime will be enough to fulfill those lists. 

Think of all the possible things that we can do if we decide to take that action, at any stage of life we decided to cross the line at the time when we need to choose which path to go. There will be no questions of what if. What if I have given it a try last time. These questions can be painful sometimes when we learned that we are no longer a part of the history. It’s the history of being part of the community of great and successful people.

Doing the Impossible

Not many people like the idea of doing the impossible. Why would somebody be crazy enough to even trying something that is impossible. But to those who have tried they know that doing something that is impossible will bring more meaning in life where you can achieve something while others not. it is those who are brave enough and those who have great patient and persistency are able to achieve this. 

In today’s business world we need to set up goals and targets to the level that o one can even think to achieve. Then we will know our potential and our ability to do things. Most people will take the safe way, set an achievable target and goals and they never know to what limit they can achieve in life. We human are known not to fully utilize all the gifts that were given to us. We even use less than 1% of our brain our entire life. If we just push a little more harder and try those things that we think they are impossible, we will be surprise of what kind of things we can achieve in life. 

Life is too short and we need to make things happen in life and live it with good values.
