Hello World!

The people business is the most complicated business in the world. Yet, this is the most satisfying dynamics once we get past this hurdle.

Mostly, we need to apply certain concepts and strategies to make it simple.

The most simple thing to do before we go out and broadcast ourselves into the world is to know thy self.

Knowing ourselves is half-the battle won.

To know ourselves require certain degrees of soul searching. Even by just meditating what we want to meditate.

Once we found the right answers, then, it’s time for us to change and aspire for improvement. In Japan, they called it “KAIZEN.”

Tony Robbins simply called them “CANI(Continuous And Never-ending Improvement).”

Now, Are You Ready to Change Yourself Inside Out? They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

Here are 10 Questions that I should ask myself:

1. What do I really want?

The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

Knowing what we want will save us a lifetime of discontent.

Either you’ll be the master of others or the others will master you to get what they want.

2. Should I really change?

Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ’self’, or at least that’s what the new kids are saying. Having gone thru the teenage life and moving into the Yuppie zone has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life that we have gone through.

The old generation of yesterday can never be the same with the generation of today nor today’s generation will be able to catch up the fad of tomorrows’ generation.

So, if we want to change, in terms of what? for whom? why?

If we answered this, the ‘how’ will be as easy as pie.

3. What’s the bright side in all of this?

With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel.

We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny.

And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

The cup is either half-full or half-empty.

4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?

There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and what not.

It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do.

Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

Knowing your values and the priority assigned for each of the values will help you decide faster.

Or asking ourselves, what kind of person do I become to get what I want.

5. Have I done enough for myself?

Have you, or is there something more you want to do?

Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you’ll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

Excellence with a sense of adventurism is a way to build small doses of confidences as move thru life.

6. Am I happy at where I am today?

It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer!

You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!

Knowing that you’re unhappy with what you are today is the first step.

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?

So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it, though.

Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

8. How much could I have?

I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it’s more on how badly you really need it.

I’d like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

Are you willing to pay the price?

9. What motivates me?

What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself.

There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part.

It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?

So? What really makes you tick?

You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey.

Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really want.

So, now, where do you go from here?

It’s up to you my friend.

See you around…
