Self Motivation

I came across this article while googling about 'weight loss' this morning. Though, it is totally not about diets/exercises and stuff, it is somewhat related to 'weight loss' in another way. I read it over and over and really put some thought into it. Read on... who knows ... you might want to go on this 'weight loss' programme too.


All of us are born with baggage. We’re born with certain talents, particular family dynamics, unique personalities, specific socio-economic statuses and most definitely, some shortcomings.

We’re born into lives that expect things of us, into lives that place obstacles in our way. And while all of these circumstances help to shape our fate, fate is not destiny. We are equipped with the tools necessary to determine our own futures.

Too many of us, though, get caught up in this 'baggage'. We use it as an excuse because it’s “who we are” or it’s "just the way it is". Well, at some point that baggage becomes your burden to bear – no longer because it was placed on you, but rather because you’ve failed to remove it! You have the power to decide whether to keep on lugging it around, or, to put it down and walk away.

Remove it.
Put it down and walk away.
You can be whoever you want to be.
It’s all about choice.

For each of us, our obstacles are different. But, defining your baggage means, you can put it down. You can put it down ... and walk away. You can run away. And you never have to look back. You have the power to distance yourself from your circumstances, to determine your own destiny and to be whoever you want to be.

The first step in getting there, though, is in figuring out the contents of your baggage. Knowing what you’re carrying around, allows you to release it.

So, what’s the baggage you’re holding on to?

And, starting today, can you take the steps necessary to start to un-tie it from your back, put it down and walk away? It may just be the best (and certainly most effective!) weight-loss plan you’ve ever embarked on!

Dolly: I’ve learned so much of the who, what, when, where, why, how... and I'm glad to have started my journey to put down dead weight in my life. I need to lose 10 physical lbs ... and 100 emotional lbs! Am continuing my "weight loss" journey ...

TODAY's AFFIRMATIONS:
I take responsability for my life.
I am worthy of being happy, now.
I let go of the need to be approved of by others. I approve of myself.

There are many things you can change,
and there are many things you cannot change.

With the things you can change, you have the opportunity to improve the circumstances in your own life and in the world around you.

In dealing with the things you simply cannot change, you gently develop wisdom, patience, acceptance, flexibility and find positive ways to deal with it.

Time Management

If you're going to do something, give yourself time to do it.

When you drive somewhere, leave early.

Avoid the frustration and anger which come from being delayed by traffic. Enjoy the pleasant feeling of arriving early, relaxed and confident.

When you must meet a deadline, start early.

Give yourself more than enough time to finish the project, and complete the work ahead of schedule. In your own mind, move the deadline a couple of days earlier. Your work will be much better if it is not rushed at the last minute.

Give yourself the time you need to accomplish the things you want. Maintain a healthy sense of urgency, but avoid the panic and frustration of a last-minute rush.

You'll get more done, you'll be more effective and stress-free, when you take the time to do it right!

Happy New Year

2010 is here. What will it bring?

Opportunity.

Every day of the coming year will be filled with opportunity and possibilities. Every day will give you a chance to make your life count, to make a difference, to grow, to learn, to achieve, to be the person you were meant to be.

The new year makes no promises. It is up to you to recognize the opportunities, to see the possibilities, and to overcome the challenges.

You don't have to wish for a Happy New Year. You have the power to make it a truly happy year, a year of fulfillment and accomplishment for you. A year that will lead to many other great years.

It doesn't seem that long ago that we ushered in 2009, and 2011 is already looming on the horizon. Time is precious, and we cannot save it up. We must use it as it comes.

Climb aboard 2010 and hold on. Keep your eyes open -- there's opportunity around every bend. Have fun. It's going to be a great ride!

Motivation For Today:

The Freedom Of Detachment

Most of us are imprisoned by our attachments: to material things, to other people, to our pride, to money, to the past. Many of the actions we take every day are in an attempt to hold on to things we think we need.

True freedom comes when we learn to discard our need for ownership, when we realize that we don't need to own things or people in order to value and enjoy them.

Words of Kahlil Gibran:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

When you try to hold water in your hand, it will drain away and you'll lose it. Immerse yourself in the water, never trying to hold on to it, letting it flow past you, and you can experience as much of it as you want.

Don't need what you have -- have what you need.

If always you think in terms of needing what you have, then you will never have enough. Instead, think in terms of having what you need and you will always enjoy abundance.
