You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

A little dose of positivity / Monday, June 12, 2006 @ 12:09 AM
A little positivity. I was influence by my renter this week. Her latest post tittle 'To Fly Free' has captured parts of me that I have not been able to express very well. You can read them here.

As promised, I was supposed to write about the awesome meeting on Tuesday. Usually open meetings are on Wednesdays but this week it was different because we had a special guest all the way from the US. Seeing that I was on afternoon shift, I knew that I was going to be late. I hate being late because I will end up sitting behind. Learning is way better when you are sitting in front. Now you know why all those nerd kids in school always sit in front while you hide your way at the back of the class.

When I came it was so crowded, as expected. Diamond Rashmir is an intelligent person. It clearly shows in his speech pattern. He mentioned about being busy, this was a slap for me on the face. Most of the time people say they are busy as though being busy makes them look cool. The real question is, what are you busy with? People can be busy watching tv too you know. Get your priorities right! Determine what can really be done in the 24 hours that you have everyday. Everyone has 24 hours, but why is it that some people achieve more in life with the same amount of time that you and I have? Think about it. Its the spare few hours that you have each day that will determine what your future will be. Invest your youth, dont waste it.

He also mentioned about the way we think. Basically how we think is affected by 3 major things:
1. People you hang around with
2. What you read
3. What you hear/ listen to

I cant believe how long it took for me to change the negative environment surrounding me. Your environment and the people you associate with will influence you the most. I am in transition to move to a completely new environment. Create a positive environment for growth for myself. Its scary of course but then again, all things were difficult before they became easy.

Its very important who you listen to. Be careful who you listen to. Being surrounded by so many parties, sometimes there are so many 'advices' that we dont know who to listen to. Check the credibility and past accomplishments of the person you listen to. Trust me, I have met some people who listen to their 'smart' realtives for advices but really they are ruining themselves by listening to people who think they know everything. A little common sense doesnt hurt.

My negative thinking is at its worst these few months. And I have clearly lost the battle. But then the marathon isnt over so I shall be pumping myself up with more fuel for a more positive way of thinking in the future. What I mean by future is now. I will win this race.

The main thing here is to change the thought process. Get it right this time. I am thankful that I attend meetings like this no matter what challenges in life I am going through. It helps to remind me that there are bigger problems out there and my challenges are nothing compared to all those.

Have the guts to succeed and make it.

Something I learned from Dolin on Friday's PASE meeting:

I hear, I will forget.
I see, I will remember.
I do, I will understand.

Thank you. That was really meaningful to me.
