Face Your Deficiencies

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

Killer of Goals and Dreams

What is the no.1 killer of goals and dreams?

PROCRASTINATION!

Merriam Webster defines procrastination as follows: "to put off intentionally and habitually".

If your procrastination is intentional maybe you really don't want to achieve your goals or dreams. In other words you don't want it bad enough. But what happens if your procrastination is a habit? If your procrastination is a habit of yours, it is easy to deal with versus intentional procrastination.

When breaking any habit you have two choices. Go cold turkey, or break the habit using a system, which is utilized over time. Cold turkey only works some of the time. Using a system is for the long term. Let's apply the system to a real life situation. Here's the scenario: The house is a mess on a consistent basis. Messy to the point where it is now overwhelming and therefore you put off cleaning the house. The solution is to create system.

I use the Rule of 15. All you need to do is just clean or organize the particular room that is cluttered only 15 minutes a day. At the end of the week you will have spent over 1.5 hours cleaning/organizing the cluttered room. The goal of cleaning/organizing will be achieved or close to it at the end of the week.

Imagine if you applied the same Rule of 15 to your financial goals. If you spent only 15 minutes a day you will have spent close to 8 hours a month towards your goal. Now, how many minutes or hours per day do you currently spend trying to achieve your goals or dreams? Utilizing a daily system to address your needs can break the habit of procrastination. What goals and dreams do you desire but will never achieve because of procrastination?

In the famous words of Seneca, "While we are postponing, lifespeeds by". Don't let procrastination rule your life and don't let life speed by you. We only go around once.

Integrity Flows from Character

Character is who you are when no one is watching.
- Anonymous


And EagleBoy must add:

Integrity is what you do when no one is supervising.

You do what you are, and you are not necessary what you do. Since what you do almost always flows out from who you are, then integrity must flow out of character.
- EagleBoy

Dignity

Dignity is like a perfume; those who use it are scarcely conscious of it.

淋我淋过的雨
吹你吹过的风
比风雨还亲蜜
两个人的影子
在同一个天地
拥有一样的回忆

心想著你
眼看著你
就像贴近自己
傻的笑的就好像你
像你一样甜蜜
是不是爱你就会变成你
oh..Ah..
爱你就等於爱自己
Mm..Well...(Alright)

我想你的难题
你写我的日记
比爱人还亲蜜
我还没说可惜
你已经在叹气
不可思议的默契

心想著你
眼看著你
就像贴近自己
怪不得拥抱感觉
会越来越熟悉

是不是爱你就会变成你
oh..Ah..
爱你就等於爱自己
Mm..Well...(Alright)

是不是你所有的秘密
已经成为我的呼吸
Ah~不再分离

是不是爱你就会变成你
oh..Ah..
爱你就等於爱自己
Mm..Well...(Alright)
爱你就等於爱自己
爱你就等於爱自己
Mm..Well...(Alright)

Stand Like Stone

Life is mostly froth and bubble, but two things stand like stone,
kindness in another's trouble and courage in your own.
