Be Focused And Determined And Make Things Happen

see exactly what i want in my mind
think/feel it
see it in mind
ask myself what i could do right now toward it..
incremental small step is okay
then do the next small incremental step as soon as possible
keep looking for bigger steps and more powerful steps and try to do them
realize that the big steps will be have to be broken down into tiny ones to be achievable
see if you can get anybody around you who believes in you and things you can do it. Get them on your side and get them to cheer you on whenever they can
when you achieve whatever it is that you said you’re going to a new set out to have happen as yourself how you can share that or be a part of it away or do something that helps those around you, who took care of you in the process
it doesn’t have to be money or physical anything like that. It can just be thanks on the other hand, it can be a saying if the person is physically close to you
for example, I wanted to get a large plant, and I found the one I wanted and I bought a huge one, chopped it into four pieces, which could then be planted to create new plants and gave us three of the pieces to other people and The one myself
the result is that we have for plants, where there was one, I am considered the big hero, and my plan is just fine/cheers/melvin

Normally I am pretty driven, and this isn’t an issue, but the last few months I’ve felt really broken, and I really just don’t have the energy or care to do anymore that what is absolutely required of me.

When I saw this on another 43T list, I felt it calling my name. In the past few months I’ve actually found myself saying this under my breath in harried situations or in moments of lethargy.

So it’s time to adopt this goal and put some entries to it. It goes against my “SMART” criteria, but I don’t care; life is fuzzy in so many ways.

Decide on my objectives and journey

Decide on that one all encompassing obsession that will wipe out my boredom, set me forth on my journey with that determination and adrenaline push like an young teen proposing to his first girl.

There’s been some progress on this goal (7.9.09’) and I’m really happy about it :)

Be totally square and in the money in 2 months

I feel like I’ve done this already but I can’t remember exactly why I feel accomplished.

Hmmm. I think I remembered that I’ve finished this goal already in the past, such as getting into my dream school and having other good things happen to me. I think that almost everything I’ve ever really really wanted, I’ve accomplished. I’ve failed, too, but those things weren’t important. So I found some motivation and some self-assurance in that, because I had neglected to remember them and so I had to start all over, which wasn’t very encouraging. Maybe that’s what I made happen. And then I did other things too, I’m sure.

Oh, I think it was because I tied up all the loose ends of the little insignificant things that I had planned to do forever, like making sure I emailed this person and that person and making payments for things and throwing out clutter. But all of them lumped together is kind of significant.

Oh yeah and it was because I crossed off all the things I had been planning to do while I was at school off my list.

Ok, the end.

set goals. write down schedule. follow plan

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

An Angel says, “Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn’t happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.”

1. Pray.

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say “No” to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can’t do anything about a situation, forget it.

12. Live within your budget; don’t use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.

15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.

16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.

17. Get enough rest.

18. Eat right.

19. Get organized so everything has its place.

20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day, find time to be alone.

23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don’t wait until it’s time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you Jesus.”

27. Laugh.

28. Laugh some more!

29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.

30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can, and we are all fighting a great battle).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.

35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before.

GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26)
