Things won't always go as you had hoped!
Well it has been a few weeks since I last blogged. A lot of things have happened over that time and I'm here to tell you that whatever hand life deals to you ... you need to keep your positive attitude.
When I last wrote I was looking forward to doing Carly's Elite Program and was hoping to get a job with a Property Development company here on the Gold Coast. Unfortunately circumstances have meant that we can't afford to do the Elite Program (right now at least) and I wasn't successful in obtaining the position that I had my heart set on. I have learned a significant lesson though ... I was so confident that I would get the position that I hadn't bothered doing any more job applications while I was waiting for my second interview and then for the result. This meant that when I finally did find out that the other applicant got the job that I was behind the 8-ball big time!
So ... I missed out on an opportunity that I thought was going to be the best job for me right now. I'm currently applying for a number of different roles that will help me achieve my future goals. This means taking the knocks on the chin and maybe taking something that isn't absolutely perfect but will pay the bills and help me put some money aside to do the things that I want to do further down the track. I am determined to achieve my goals and the easiest way to do this is to break the big goals down into little ones.
Set aside some time each morning to plan your day and what you need to achieve to assist you in getting to your weekly, monthly, yearly and life goals. Anything is achievable if you really want it.
I read something interesting this morning regarding Starting. This is an excerpt from the School of Thinking - Daily Software for the Brain by Michael Hewitt-Gleeson (I highly recommend it ... you can sign up for this free courseware and information at http://www.schoolofthinking.org):
"What is starting?
It can be very difficult to start things. Once you get started there is momentum and feedback but getting started can be difficult. Most races are lost not at the finishing line but at the starting blocks. Why? Because most people never even enter the race! They just never get started. Wasn't it Lao-Tzu who pointed out that all journeys begin with one step."
This is so true of all of us. I personally hate doing housework ... it's not that I'm a lazy so-and-so ... it's just that I'm not motivated to do it. But once I start I'm like a whirlwind and can achieve a lot in a short amount of time. If I started to do a little bit of housework every day (morning is better) then I would have a tidy house pretty much all of the time. If I don't start (in other words ... if I procrastinate) then it's going to take most of my weekend to get the house into order. My weekends are precious to me and I don't want to spend the whole time doing housework. This is my motivation to start doing a little each day and save my weekends for spending time with the family and doing things that we all want to do.
I could go on and on about this subject but I'll cut it short there for today.
Start doing some starting ... you'll be surprised how much it helps =)
