There are times that we just could not understand why we do not get what we want in life.
Why is it that some people could achieve their goals easily and effortlessly?
Why is it that we take so long to achieve only half of what we should get?
Have you experienced not achieving goal no matter how much effort you put in?
Would it be possible for you to achieve your goals easily and effortlessly?
Would it be worthwhile to you if you could reach the next lever of goal setting?

Resolutions vs. Distractions
In the briefing room….
‘Hi, I am S C, initial of my name.....’
At my work place, we meet totally different set of team to work cohesively and to achieve the common goal.
Thus, we need to introduce ourselves in the briefing room before we head to the aircraft.
There are always too many of us to remember and my colleagues sometimes ‘misheard’ my name. The most common names that I get are Elsie and Estee.
To me, those are still wonderful names to be addressed….I would just leave it that way of what they are comfortable with….
However, there was ONE, only one among about 5,000 out of 7,000, I can’t say I have met all my colleagues… called me ‘Ignatius’ through out the trip…
Hahah….. He is unique! He is really good!!! Creative!!!
Do you have a resolution that has made for number of years, and yet you have not achieved it successfully?
You could say for zillions number of times, you would want to do it, and yet when the time to put into action, you say to yourself ‘perhaps next time I would do it,…’ or ‘after this …, … I would do it.’
You understand that almost all goals has the positive and negative sides of it and yet….seems other tasks are as important…
Or you feel that you want to finish the other tasks first, so that you can focus to achieve the main one.
Yet, it seems never ending story…. The other tasks keep coming in to distract you…and the distractions have become your stories to tell yourself or even others….the reasons why you are not DOING IT NOW…
This could be a lifetime resolution, it could be an eating habit, drinking habit, an action to buy a house, call up a friend, or even taking up a course or bringing your love ones for a trip….
It can just take a day for one to take the action…..
For some, nothing had happened for years for such an easy job….
What is the difference between the one who has taken the action compare with the one who delaying it?
What are the differences between the two?
Have they?
Have you gone through an important and yet difficult exam before?
What happened to you at that time?
You worked very hard before and celebrated after the exam. Right?
Before the exam…
For that one-month, you phone calling and outing have come to minimize…
You were so focus that you were not bothered to match your clothes or style your hair that much to go to the exam hall.
You were even used minimum time or postpone all the celebrations e.g. birthday parties.
You were so focus that you could not even bother to clean the house or car as frequent as before.
The taste of your favorite food has changed, as your focus was not there to enjoy eating it….
In front of your favorite series on TV, seems your heart was not there to enjoy watching it…
Nothing was as important as going through the exam smoothly…
You FOCUS was on the center of the dartboard…
There were no stories or excuses of distractions….
You have experienced that, don’t you?
Yes, you have.
YOU SEE!
YOU CAN STAY FOCUS TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!
YOU HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE!!!
YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD IN STAYING FOCUS…
For you resolution,…either you NOT TO NOT, TO take the action NOW or TAKE THE ACTION NOW….
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS…

Expectation
‘Good morning sir’
‘Straits Times’
‘Good morning sir, welcome onboard!’
‘Straits Times!’
Sounds familiar? It was not a joke as it really happened to me months ago. Hahha….
Some of you may not know, this is one of the jokes at my work. When we greet the passengers come onboard in the plane, the reply from those very focus and task oriented business travelers is ‘Straits Times’. The national newspaper has become their way of greeting in the day.
We may see them as ‘no life’ people, as only the newspaper that they would greet or call. They seek in the surrounding as the finger of their profit margin.
Hahha…. I laughed over it, as it was not a joke at all after so many years that I have heard about. I felt honored that I actually have the chance to witness this reply from a gentleman.
Bizarre!! The feeling was so unreal! The reply was not what I have expected.
Not expected….
Expectation… we are saying…??
When I was young, I had so many beautiful expectations.
I expected I would have a really fun evening on my 18-birthday party at home….turned out to be a self inflicted disaster…
When I was in the collage, I expected I would become someone influential when I grown up… and yet, I am who I am now…
I expected that I could write a wonderful note to share yesterday; yet I was stuck for the whole day.
Expectation is what we hope for a positive outcome from what we have done….
We make effort to cook a nice meal for our family members, expect they would enjoy the food… rather than not coming home for dinner…
Sometimes we buy gift to our love ones and we expect the person would appreciate our effort to get the present…. at least a smile in her face rather than a poker…
A parent may expect the child to be someone influential after taking very good care of him in his education…at least someone has a professional job….
There are many things that we do to gain the joy from pleasing others…. with an expectation in return….
What happen if we do not get what we expected?
What if we do not get anything in return?
If we do everything with an expectation in return, we would not live our life fully and happily… because the things that we do is not what we truly want to do….
Do things that we truly wanted and win the smile from the heart of yourself….whether or not on how much others appreciate is not an issue, the most importantly, you enjoy every moment in life by doing your part of contribution to meet the end needs…
Let go of the expectation…. just do want you enjoy doing…
The gentleman who replied me ‘Straits Times’ have made my day as the joke was eventually came alive. That has kept me to stay alert through out the day.
‘Thank you sir’
‘Straits Times’
‘Good morning sir, welcome onboard!’
‘Straits Times!’
