What I did in 2014

It's been a while since my last post. I don't know about you but for me time really flies. Days, weeks, months fly before our eyes when we suddenly stop and wonder why we're always in a rush, always stressing out, always running from one thing to another.

2014 is coming to a close. If I had to summarize my year, I'd say it's been a hectic one. But why? Not sure. So much to do... Is it right to say we're ambitious and this justifies our crazy lifestyle. What have I been doing all this year? I feel so tired... What did I see/visit? Who did I meet?... God, I don't have answers to these questions. Perhaps I need time to answer. I know why I can't answer them right now. I am thinking about what I am going to do next and about what I am going to do after that.

Oh there you go. This is how I actually spent my year; always planning for the next thing. Sadly this comes with missing out on the important things and enjoying the present moment.

One week till the New Year. I better slow down the pace and stop and smell the roses before 2015 is here.

Good year everyone!

Before you get out of bed and chase your dreams....

Here I am back from a mini vacation. As a read, I took Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins. Self-development books are great because they help you reboot your life in a matter of a few seconds, minutes, hours… What is interesting about the new phenomena of self-development and the Secret effect is that everyone now talks about gratitude and how important it is to be grateful for what you have before you ask for more or better. It is true that we spend our time looking for what we don’t have and we love comparing ourselves with others. Self-help books authors are right to suggest that one should implement gratitude exercises on a daily basis so s/he is aware of his/her given talents, resources and assets in life. It is a proven way that one will live happier and less miserable. To be honest, I didn’t need to read it from Tony or Ronda. Gratitude is something we are taught to ever since we are small children. After finishing a meal, you should say ‘hamdoullah’. Hamdoullah isn...

December Challenge: It's NOT too Late to Make this Year a Remarkable Year

HO! HO! HO! It's that time of the year... Not to celebrate and exchange gifts (at least not for me). On December 1st, it's hustle time. It's that time I push myself to get back on track and catch up on all pending to-dos, goals, and dreams. In other words, I use December as a month of challenge to complete the objectives I had for that year or at least get significant progress on that. There can be so many distractions in life and the social media and the internet can eat up most of our time (it used to be TV). Now, to achieve goals, I first need to get organized: 1. Review my goals for the past year 2. Check the completed goals 3. Zoom on the remaining ones When I have my remaining goals set clear on paper, I can then evaluate what can quickly be done immediately (if your goal is to get fit, you can already start doing today) and what would take longer to achieve. For the immediate actions, there is no secret to this. I just make time for them on my calendar. ...
