For my family and friends who like KNOW:Lately I have been working on my goals for 2009 broken down monthly and weekly... as well as on my goals for the next four years.Well I have been watching some DVDs specific to my work lately in order to refocus and return to my plans... and thought I would post an excerpt just because.A few things stood out:Believe in Yourself1. It starts with goals that challenge you.2. Work on plan or goal 8 hours per day.3. You have to form or join a mastermind.4. You have to use affirmations every day.5. Read 30 minutes every day.6. Absolutely listen to self-affirmation/positive tapes and CDs 30 minutes per day.7. Consciously practice keeping your attitude positive because there is so much crap, negativity, and upheaval going on all of the time.8. [Censored because not applicable for some people :P]9. [Censored because not applicable for some people :P]I should mention that this is not MY list.They also mention that *you* cannot care if other people like *you.* I already got that one down... easily.Well I like to learn and have since I was a little girl. I remember going to Kaimuki Library knowing that I was poor but also knowing that if I read I could learn so much and maybe just MAYBE I could get out.I call it getting out of hell.I succinctly remember reading AND learning about Haole kine manners... in a book LMAOFor example, how to use a salad fork versus a fork for the main course and how to sip soup out of a spoon. I also went to John Robert Powers when I was 15 years old after saving my money from helping my older brother deliver newspapers... just so that I could learn more manners in the Haole world because I just knew that one day I would HAVE to be able to eat at a fancy table. Of course one day I ate at a fancy table and I wasn't so shocked... because I read about it.Of course NOWADAYS I get little to no respect for what I DO (offline) but you know what? I do not care LOL Seriously. What I care about is donating to MY causes. That has kept me through the very tough field, mentally and physically because no one can stop me... except myself.I must fight complacency. That seems to be a struggle for me :P That and being the ONLY oiwi in my office LMAO Well I am Getting Over It (GOI) and have found another oiwi in the same field who KNOWS how it is. He has helped me a bit without realizing it.I must fight complacency... and that is one of my many goals this year.Anyway I just thought I would post this here because this help may help someone else. I should add that they mention in this very informative piece... that every person's life becomes better when three things are in order:- Controlling their weight- Controlling their finances and- Keeping their environment (at home, at the office, and in their car(s)) clean.These are often used as excuses for us not progressing and for not moving forward. However these three create STABILITY.Okay... pau with my boring business talk LMAO But I think these mana'o transcend the business world. To believe in yourself... is to achieve and to overcome a lot whether in the business world... or in the Maoli World: Believing in yourself... is very powerful and very important.I should also mention that I'm coming Home again soon. I don't know exactly when yet but I can't wait!!! Thinking about aku palu makes me drool. That is about 15 hours. Each way LMAO Total transit time... with transportion to and from the airports plus layovers.Okay... latahs!
I do agree, set goals that are simple yet achieveable to work toward. May benefit from using a calendar to organize time being spent on each goal. Yes, affirmations that you are a great person and believe in one's self. For example, I've been working on my doctorate on and off for four years. I must realize that I have four daughters and worked full time as a teacher before, during and after masters. It was tought then and still is. However, I still have a little ways to go and I'm glad I stuck it out. Could be worse and not finish anything!
