Time for change

September has started for me with quite interesting changes. First it was the office move then the home move. Yeah that's a lot for someone staying in the same city. People ask me what drove this big change.

Well I have two answers: 1) Sometimes everything works out so well that the change makes sense and things fall into place naturally 2) Change is good. It can be a good decision if you're not getting the results you're expecting where you're at.

Speaking of the second point, if you remember my last post, I had described how I lived walking to the office (Sorry that was in French only) and how painful that was too me and how it affected my mood. In my new neighborhood, fortunately, I am confronted with a lot less than that. I can finally walk like a normal human being and can even enjoy going to a small park and sit there without being approached or insulted. Strangely, I feel much better. I am not sure if it's the placebo effect but whatever it is, I am better now and my family is too.

Change can be scary because we all like being in the confort zone. Changing habits, friends, neighbors, concierge, shops can be annoying but when the alarm goes off, you have to listen and go for the new things. They might not be better but it's definitely a new experience calling you.

Go for it.

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. ...
