My brain has been GOING CRAZY with NEW PHILOSOPHIES!
I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO HAS WRITTEN TO ME!!!!
I tried to visit a couple of you to your diaries, but I just haven't had the chance to get around to all of you....getting there, getting there......BUT THANK YOU!!!
..
..BABY UPDATE/LONG RANT:........
So this is WEEK 4, of my LOW CARB Lifestyle....and I say lifestyle...because I have been eating AMAZING things...and for some reason, now that I have opened that door to being
ABLE to eat a lot of the things I would "BAND" before from my life, I've realized that I no longer contain that DESIRE
that would cause me to sabotage myself time and time again by gorging on these things. GO FIGURE!!!! Tell yourself you CAN HAVE them and you don't WANT them anymore! ......(heheheh
I'm telling myself this with MEN as well.....because YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE how they are dropping like flies right now!!!) SCARRY!!! HEEHEHE
...So it's funny, cause now, when I eat, I am so creative, and it's a natural reflex to avoid the carbs, the salts, and the sugars! AND
I'M LOVING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
.WEIGHT LOSS:........hmmm.....I still haven't jumped on a scale.....
.....and go figure, I went to go and try to jump on one a couple minutes ago...to finally BITE THE BULLET...and all three of them were out of batteries at Busy Bodies....
....it's a SIGN
cause I am HAPPPPPPPPY TODAY....mainly because one of my clients in the past days, turned out to be this crazy architect, developer, and 2 time
Author, and I'm devouring his book right now.......!!!!!
"Where's my Zen" who he just got published 3 weeks ago!!! It's AMAZING!!! I'm hoping to call him today, later, and tell him to come out and have dinner with me so I can pick his brain on his book, cause I know I can learn wonders from this man, and how many times do I get the chance to actually become so close to someone through their words on paper?!?!!!! WOW!!!!!!! He is so intriguing, and I really want more help as to how to develop these traits he speaks of, and to just PICK HIS BRAIN!!!
I'd say he is well
Go figure....I've been eating
books this past week on philosophies!!! And I have seen such a change in me!!! I love it....I've devised plans, goals, outlined them, created a path to get them, all of which are things that I used to DREAM of and WISH....because that's exactly what goals are without a devised PLAN well written out on paper.....it's just a wish!!!
...SO yeah...finally, I took it over the notch, and devising these Goals now on paper made me realize that to embrace that person I want to become, there are a lot of quality traits that will have to be adopted as well, or else give up that GOAL and reformulate because you are either too lazy to self develop, read, write it down, do it,....whatever! But I finally decided,...that "NO, I'm NOT GIVING up what I want, and I WILL EMBRACE and BEGIN CHANGE"!!!!
I can't even begin to tell you all.....but if there is one book, to read....it is JIM ROHN!!! Its about the philosophies of LIFE!!! To WEALTH AND HAPPINESS in your own terms, because each individual is different! But whatever it is you want in life, this book can HELP you get there if you really do all it says to do!
Cause I know, I've done it time and time again, where you READ SOMETHING, SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING, and all these somethings are what is going to lead you to success, and WE END UP NOT DOING THEM!!!!
....STORY OF MY LIFE! .......not any more!!!.......the first 34 pages of this man's BOOK has CHANGED ME!!! I'll tell you this......
"IF YOUR "WHY", doesn't make you CRY, it's NOT STRONG ENOUGH"!!!!
...makes sense...you have to realllllllly want something for it to motivate you to change....and it has to be clear in our mind to be able to be inspired to change by it, and how can it be clear in our mind, if we haven't even made the formal agreement to ourselves on paper to devise our lives, our goals, our dreams?!?!?!......RIGHT.....we can't.....step one....WRITE DOWN your goals.....(by the way....I found out I have MANY "WHY's" that make me SOB and CRY)!!!!
Jim Rohn says: on a piece of paper.....ask your self:
--What do I want to do?
--What do I want to be?
--What do I want to see?
--What do I want to have?
--Where do I want to go?
--What would I like to share?
1) take about 15 minutes, and write 60 goals down, quickly though..not all long...trigger words, from short range goals, to long range goals. Short range withing a year to three years, and long range, from within 5 years to 10 years.
2) now that you have done that look at them...and next to them...put a 1, 3, 5, 10 next to them, as you decide how long it is going to take you to accomplish these...
3) now check to see if you are in balance. If you have Too many 10's and 5's...then that means that you are prolonging activity in the near future and are putting off doing things until later. As well, if you have a lot of near short range goals, 1's and 3's...and not a lot of 10's and 5's....then you aren't thinking about where your life is going. It's much easier to deviate from the plan when you don't have one!
4) now...choose 4 from each group.....1's, 3's, 5's. 10's...= 16 goals....now take time to think of them......and Write a detailed description of what you want, and describe it in detail, and the reason WHY you want it....and if the reason why you want it is not strong enough then you change it to another goal that is strong enough to cause you to "INSPIRED ACTION"!
---The funny part is this---that as I'm reading this, I'm thinking
"YEAA YEAA, that's GOOD STUFF", goooo JIM,.....telling myself "Oh, I don't have a pen right now, I'll do it in just a couple pages",....YEAAAAAA FUCKN RIGHT,....I was damn well lying to myself...I wasn't going to do SHIT!!!.....and then I get to the end of the Chapter, and Jim Say's....."It's those same people that will not take the time to do this because it's thought provoking, time consuming, and requires you to be analytical in a self confrontation. It's those same people that will not take the time to do this, DEVISE THEIR FUTURE, OUTLINE IT, it's those same people who will live a life, hating their jobs, miserable with their weight, have no time for family, never achieve their goals, it's those people that generally reply "I dont have the time"...THEY let THAT, their FUTURE's SLIDE!!!
.....
MOTHA FUCKER...MOTIVATED me....you BET...and I whipped out the pen,....and did that SHIT...because as well "Hope Long delayed makes the heart sick!".....
Passive Hope is a sickness....and I decided to find healing through devising a plan, because unless you have clearly outlined Goals, it's Impossible to Manage your time Effectively! And Productivity is the Result of well defined objectives! And have no fear, because in the daily tasks,
OUR ABILITY WILL GROW TO MATCH THOSE OF OUR DREAMS!!! The most important part is the journey, because Happiness is elusive, and we can not linger at the table of success to long, because the only way to enjoy another meal, is to get "GOOD AND HUNGRY"!!! Meaning we change, and goals change, the pursuit of the person we become in attaining them is where Happiness is derived! I LOVE IT!!!!
