My Mind and My Heart

on Saturday, October 30, 2010

Back to Malacca, my lovely hometown.

Just finish chating with my mum and sister. Everyone is back to their room now.
Tonight seems to be a cool and peaceful night for me to have some "reflection time"

Throughout the day, I realised some conflicts happen in my mind and heart. My heart keeps telling me this is what I must do, yet my mind tells me this is not the right time to do it. Have you gone through similar experience?

"Ability" VS "limitation". Most of the time, we have the ability to do what we want in life, yet we set our own limitation, giving us the excuses and reasons of not doing it. Can I say that ability comes from the heart and limitation caused by the mind? Why say so? because many times I heard this: "if this guy have the right attitude (heart), then nothing can stops him from achieving his goals (ability)!" It is like driving an awesome Porsche, I know that the car have the ability to speed in highway, yet I keep pulling the hand brake while driving, making it tough to accelerate. I realised that it is not the ability that stops me for progressing, it is the limitation that hinders me all this while!

I heard someone told me "wisdom" means taking action on what I already knew, be it a right attitude, skills, or knowledge. Otherwise, I can learn and learn and learn and learn...... and become "intelligent", yet it doesnt serve me in life. A concept can be easily understood by an 8 years old kid (Praise others all the time!) , yet cannot be fulfilled by an 80 years old man (Blaming and accusing others all the time!). I understand but I didnt do it! sounds familiar? lols....

I ask my brain "is this the right time, right situation, right thing to do now?" It normally hesitates, giving me some good reasons for procastination, and never do it. If I ask my heart "why I want to do it?" I gain the new energy and my higher self will normally say" Just fricking do it!"

The Warrior In Us

on Sunday, October 24, 2010

One of my favourite movie is "Facing the Giants" (2006) whereby the coach train up the team with his passion and determination, in return they did their best in every single battle they went into.

The best part is the "death crawl" where the coach challenges one of the key player to exceed his limitations and use his heart not his physical strengths to go through the tough moments, thats really inspired me. Sometimes i watch this part of the movie over and over again because it gaves me great inspiration and determination to work towards my goals in life.


I just came back from a 4-days warrior training camp. It was fantastic! There is one part of the training which actually gave me the same impact as "death crawl". It was damn fricking exhausted!!! Yet, the coach wants us to go on and on....then I realised that sometimes I thought I had done my very best in life, yet in actual I underestimated my true capabilities and potentials. And the key factors of getting what I want at the highest level of my life, is to live the "purpose" of life bigger than the challenges I faced. Knowing cystal clear my motivation behind whatever I do is so crucial as it will give great energy and power to continue my pursuance during tough times.
The warriors are willing to sacrifice and went all way out to fight in the battle, either succeed or die, because the great purpose behind their action is to protect the children, the spouse, the family members and the nation ! That's no turning back in the "battle". So, Go Go Go!


Think Time

on Monday, October 18, 2010

When I was in the flight on my way to Kota Kinabalu, I got this thought of "think time" which I heard about few months ago.

I realised that my think time is always "in the air" lols...

I travel to KK every month once or twice, so most of the time i will take out my diary and start looking through my schedules and also do some planning stuff. Most of the time I got very good ideas about my future plans and also get creative ideas about my new training contents.

Think time is the time where I focus on my energy towards my mission, my goals and my achievements for the past few weeks. It also is a time I did some self-reflection about my passion in life...

Even though it is only a 2 hours kind of thinking and review each trip, I think this habit had been great for me when I was alone in my trip. For example, the new program "Transformation Starts from ME" training is actually came through part and parcel along my journy in the plane. Well, it is one of the "hot" program I had so far :)

I remember my mentor told me once that his Saturday morning is the "think time" for him, making him an effective person and brought better decision making for him the following weeks. I think mine just happen coincident, lols. What about you?

Be An Excellent Receiver!

on Thursday, October 14, 2010

Yesterday listen to one of my friend talking about his work, the superior's expectation and how he went through his challenges for the past 1 week.


He told me that he is not good enough, he thinks he is performing under expectation, and he told me a lot of his weaknesses.....He felt that he does not deserve what he had now. On the other hand, I understand that he had improved a lot for the past 2 years, and he did awesome!!!


Sometimes we tends to be a 'victim' of our own life. Isnt we?

There are 4 processes to get what we want in life. And we actually already knew about it. This is what I learned from one of the warrior camp:-

It is like buying a burger by "drive through" at Mc Donald. First, we need to say it loud and precisely what we want through the mic, Secondly we drive our car towards the counter, Thirdly we must willing to pay for it, Lastly, to accept the burger we order!

Everyone might "stuck" at certain process thus they cant get what they want. When I am clear about my goal, what is my passion and mission for, what I want to achieve in 3 years time, I say/write it clearly and precisely. Then I work towards that goal with determination and persistency, and I must be willing to exchange my time and effort for that goals, finally when the rewards come, I must willing to open to accept it.


I believe my friend did all but the last one! So, after giving your best, graps your rewards, always remember to be an "Excellent Receiver"!
