I AM AT CHOICE IN THE MOMENT

What I feel like saying is … I feel at peace and serene. Life is full of love and blessings. I am grateful with all that I have today; family, wealth, health, love and happiness.

I was blessed to meet an amazing mind power guru in London recently, John Kehoe, the author of Mind Power into the 21st Century. I remembered a beautiful story that he shared with the crowd. From my memory : There were two monks walking through a village; one old and one young. They were both in silent most times, appreciating and pondering the beauty of God’s creation. After walking for some time, they came to a river. The river was quite wide. At the riverbank, there was a beautiful woman. When she saw the two monks, she quickly asked them if they could help her to cross the river. She was afraid of the water and its current. Both monks looked at each other and nobody said anything. Both remembered the vow that they took beforehand that they were not supposed to have any contact with any women.The woman kept pleading them to help her. When they were about to cross the river, the old monk scooped the woman without any word, carried her in his hands crossing the river, and put her back on the other side of the bank. She was very happy and grateful for his help. She thanked him for that. He did not say anything and continued walking with the young monk. One hour passed. Two hours passed. Three hours passed. Both were walking in silent. Nothing was said. Four hours passed and the young monk turned his head to the old monk. His face was red. He was very furious. He said, “Brother, I could not believe what you did just now. How could you carry that woman to cross the river?” The old monk quietly spoke, “My brother, I put her down at the riverbank more than four hours ago. How come you still carry her with you all along?”

This story is afresh in my mind. It reminds me of past is past and real-time is now. Most importantly, I am at CHOICE in the moment. I invite YOU to put your past behind, let go of all the negative thoughts and non-supportive beliefs, and make a new choice now and move on. “My place is HERE and my time is NOW”.

“Every human has four endowments – self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom. The power to CHOOSE, to RESPOND, to CHANGE” ~Stephen R. Covey.

PRECESSION

Our team who are promoting Money & You in Singapore consists of people who wants to achieve huge things in life.

The team is willing to overcome challenges without complains. Everyone also practices the Money & You Principles in the team, business and life. It’s such a joy to work with this group of team members.

Things are not rosy all the time. We do have argument within the team. However, we learned to clear all arguments and misunderstanding with one another before it escalates into a storm. This is also what we learned in Money & You.

Challenges in a business is inevitable, and we met waves of challenges while promoting Money & You and some of our own programs. With this awesome team, we always rise up to the challenge.

A major principle from Money & You is PRECESSION. This is the one of the principles in the world. It was said that once you understood PRECESSION, you understand why many things turn out the way they turned out.

In the process of promoting Money & You, precessionally, miracles were being unfold. Few things that happened precessionally:

1. We discover each other’s strength and start to place people in their best position.
2. We found out that we really enjoy working with one another.
3. We created a recreation day where we have a day per week to do things together that is not related to our business.
4. We created new programs in the process.
5. We have grown in knowledge, experience and skill as individual.

The biggest precessional effect in promoting Money & You is we embarked on a $100 million project. This project was born from one of our discussion to overcome some challenges. Initially it was just a $6 million project. More ideas was generated along the way, now it has grown 20 times. This was unintentional. All our intention was how to bring the powerful program to more people. But things started forming at 90 degree. Therefore the name of this project is called 90 Degree.

With such a huge project, I can’t do it alone. Fortunately there’s a great team around. With this team, we can overcome any challenges.

In this process, I got the meaning of PRECESSION!

CHOICES & CONSEQUENCES

Have you ever felt that you are being limited?

Have ever felt that you are being passed over in promotion that was agreed to be yours?

Have you ever felt that you have persevere and given all your best and yet you are being swept away?

How do you feel? What did you do in those situations? Some may stay and fight all the way until the results intended are achieved, some may leave the environment in disappointment into an endless search and some may choose to step up in different environment that appreciates them. There are so many different choices that one can make.

My recent conversations with some of my great mentors and friends have given me several amazing realization. Some of them have spent many years supporting the company while waiting patiently for the agreement to be fulfilled while some simply kept a distance and moved on with their passion.

Some has actually created opportunities for themselves and then forth extended their platform for many others to fulfil their interest and passion.

This amazing sharing has made me realized that I got to know when make the choice to draw the line of staying around and continuously face the consequences of being upset and feeling obliged. I got to make the choice for myself to be fulfilled and happy.

This amazing sharing has made me realized that opportunities does not only exist at the geographical location that I am in. The same opportunities happen in Singapore, United States, England, Africa, Indonesia and many other places as well. The only question is am I willing to go the extra mile to achieve it?

Some choices may seem difficult to be made. Some choices may seem complicated and may create a certain upsets in others. Some choices may seem easier to be sitting on the fence. Some choices are the easy way out into our comfortable little nest.

Whatever the choices are, are you making the choice for you or for others? Are you making the choice to please others in hopes of being like and accepted? Are you making the choices to be happy and successful while supporting others in their path of growth?

It is far more liberating to just make the decision than to sit on the fence. Miraculously the decision itself enables possibilities. It enables firmness. It enables simplicity. It enables clarity.

It is easier said than done? Off course it is and that is why there are so many advisors around. Advices are free and many friends would love to just out flow advices. Some may even push you to make a certain decision according to their experiences. They may be right yet they maybe the tall poppy colony or the acceptable norm.

Ultimately the decision is yours.

What I am asking you to do is to attempt this yourself, experiment it and share with me your results.

Make the decision. Make the decision for you.

I have made some difficult decisions and some are choices that potentially create family upsets yet it has shown results that are beyond my expectations. Miraculously as my decision is for my growth, my family grows too!

What is your choice today?

Release and you shall Receive

I am a very sensitive person with a great swinging mood. At times I can be so creative and so inspiring , doing things in a very fascinating way, go beyond the ordinary and beyond what others can imagine. But at times I can be so down, soo moody, soooo depressive. How do I manage to live my life for almost 40 years old with such an unpredictable way?

Well, great question, I don’t really know, as most of time when I want to control it, things get worsen. But as I just relax myself, things happen to go smoothly, even though it still seems challenging. I guess this is a point in my life that I am here to live freely according to my own Faith… with the essences of Love, Joy, Trust, Courage, and Integrity. I started to be more Responsible for my Outcome, my Reality, and my Results.  My life started to change drastically over the pass few years, so much learning, so much challenge, and so much to let go.

One thing I really learned in my life journey is in order to Receive, I have to Release. I can only install more things in my life as I release those which are not needed. Yes, there’s a possibility that when we expand our context (structure), we may eventually become more capable of storing more things in our “bowl”. Expansion needs time, it requires a lot of effort to stretch our limits. What can you do to get more access of “goodies” even if you haven’t made any additional slots? For me it’s really simple, just let go anything you don’t require any more, it can be a your material possession, relationship long holding without benefits to both parties, a belief system that doesn’t enrich you any more, or a just a thought, a wishful thinking that doesn’t seems to work in reality.

So why not practice Releasing, perhaps we don’t even need to go for any therapy for healing. Perhaps its just a Decision we make, a Choice to let go.

This is a Great Flip-Chart in Money and You Program. I really cherish it. WHY? Because I have a CHOICE now! I choose to become anything I choose to BE!

Dedicated to all Life Warriors who dare to test lives to the greatest extend!

Stretching Beyond

After coming back from Instructor Training Program Oct 2010 (ITP), I felt stretched in terms of commitment. I have a ever growing To-do list which doesn’t seem to get smaller.

Seldom I felt this way, but this time I really felt the stretch. With business, personal and well being commitment increasing in a speed, I found new discovery in the statement “time is precious”.

First of all, promoting Money & You has elevate a level. It’s no longer just running previews before the Program. Whatever that happen after the program is as important. With M&Y Masterclass, M&Y Business Networking Night now running regularly, it took a chuck of my time.

On top of that, creating a better system for the business so that Money & You can grow requires some commitment as well. The accounting, administration, graduates follow up, marketing, promotion; all requires a system to put in place so that future staffs can have an easier job.

And then the new business, 90-Degree eMagazine is ready to launch. As the editor for 90-Degree, the responsibility of getting articles is actually huge. I didn’t expect this can be that much commitment when the team started 3 months ago.

On personal, I had my own Mastermind Team which does requires some commitment. My body needs my attention too. Exercising regularly is another commitment as well.

Then there is ITP which can be a huge commitment depending where I want to play. I declared becoming a Money & You Instructor, that’s huge. That means I have a lot of work to do. The first thing is to get the piece Mastery right.

And ITP has our own Mastermind team with Team goal. This blog you are reading now is created by my ITP Mastermind Team, isn’t it awesome? And this requires some commitment too.

Having said all that, I am committed to fulfill all of the above. I am willing to play at a high gradient. Since the last ITP, the gradient has been raised; I’m not going to let the gradient drop even 0.1%. I will play at the highest level possible.

That’s my commitment!

What my Lag in Practise looked like…….

Oct30th 2010
Dear Journal,

It was very interesting to get many distinctions and results from the last ITP. They are so intrinsic that its very difficult to explain all in words. There is however ONE situation that I’d like to share with you, that hit me, and one of the main takeaways from ITP for me.

I’ve been learning swimming (since age 5) and swimming laps for many years.  For the past year or so, I’ve not swam in deep pools. Now here we were practising swimming for a race – as a TEAM.

OK, I’ll work on my stamina. Then, I get the hang of it. Now its about the lap. Subang Holiday Villa Olympic size pool, the real lap begins.. half way in the pool at its deepest, a strong fear comes over me. I was completely SHOCKED at myself – REACTING. This is the same pool, that a few years back, I got ALL EXCITED and THRILLED to swim in the deepest, and a sense of Achievement and Accomplishment will swamp me, that I can SWIM, at a point where I can’t even touch the floor… NOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT FEELING?

All I had was a very scared, fearful and almost panicky me, totally afraid that I can’t cross the deep end. My head went : “my leg’s gonna get cramps, waters getting into my goggles, and the lap looks soooo long, its still so far, BLAH BLAH BLAH. ….

And a strong voice in me called out: You’ve done it before, damn it.. you used to ENJOY it. What happened to you?

STOOOOP!  I recollected myself, focused on the now, taking every stroke, recalling the fun, and the feeling of accomplishment (that I used to feel), moved forward, ONE stroke at a time. I further anchored the thought that I must do this for my team, I can’t let down my team, as this IS something I know and have done. I also envisioned my dreams for the world, at the end of the pool, pulling myself forward to complete.  I had fear, I had doubt, but I kept going, and finished the lap.  And did the best I could for the moment in the race to.

And I did Again, Again AND Again…To complete this experience. One week since end of ITP, I just finished 4 laps this morning, with a lot more confidence, a lot more FUN, a high level of satisfaction and assurance in myself, that I’m back in the GAME.

Moving forward, I have decided to have free-style swimming as an area to master, so I can swim across, in laps. Since I only use breast-strokes to swim laps, and I KNOW that free-style swimming will get me across faster. So it is about mastering the technical excellence in these areas, to move me forward with greater speed, have fun, and enjoy a greater sense of achievement.

My Lesson from this experience
It reinforced what Kerry shared in my ITP class, about the situations in my life.
How my lag in (lack of) practise can take away my power, make me forget the enjoyments I used to have. Furthermore, fear and doubt is created in my own capabilities,(which I used to celebrate), and stumps me from moving forward.

It is important for me to keep practising, correct (without invalidation of myself and others) and demonstrate results, again, again and again. This ensures that I stay in the game, despite any set-backs, and stay in peak performance and high self-esteem/self-worth, moving forward with conviction and clarity in my vision, creating MORE Positive Results in my life, creating a Joyful Cycles of WIN-s!

Time for Celebration Now… HOORAY!

REFLECTION ON THE ITP RACE

TEAM

For the past few years I felt very exhausted, tired and unhappy with my work. I have been running the office like a one man show even though I have staffs and a legal assistant. There were times when I cried in my room and almost shouted for “help”. My face already spoke on my behalf “I am miserable!”. In 5 years staffs came in and out like a Hudson River flow and till to date in total there were 11 staffs who already left my office. I kept asking myself what had went wrong?

Instructor Training Programme (ITP) 2010 gave me the answer to my challenges. I don’t have “a team”. Yes, a team. I never realise about it until during recent ITP. I have a great learning that to succeed I must do it in a team and the team must be well connected. After the first part of ITP in May 2010, I started to work on my team at the office. I committed to support, more sharing and built the trust among us. The result that I got is team members will ask among each other to go beyond the limit and beyond the ordinary. More support and strategy can be gained in a team. To achieve success with a team is easier and faster rather than doing it alone. However, sometimes happen to be that a few of the team members are a bit slow or have difficulty to catch up. This can be a dilemma to those who are very fast player as this can be a hurdle for them to achieve result faster. So one have to ask whether he or she want to leave the team and do it by himself or herself or stay on and give more support to the team.

I would like to highlight that there is a difference between team member who is a bit slow yet committed to play 100% and team player who has no commitment to play full tilt. In latter scenario, members who are committed 100% sometimes will choose to leave the team since it does not work for them anymore. One of the distinction that I got about “team” is when there is synergy among the members, they will be able to go through all the obstacles and reach the finishing line together as a team. That’s what I call “Success”.

Previously I thought that team with strongest members always succeed. But it does not always work that way. Why? When there is no synergy, no connection and no alignment among the members then they will play individually which make it easier for the opponent to block the individual player. For instance World Cup Football 2010 shown that a team with great players did not get into the final because there is no team work, no synergy, every player wanted to show their own skills and I didn’t feel their connection among each other. That team was “Brazil”. Compared to the Champion team i.e Spain, the latter one definitely soul to soul connection and even though I was some hundred miles away from the venue yet I really felt and get – this is the “TEAM”.

After ITP 2010, I resumed my work and I acknowledge my staff for her works throughout 5 days when I was not around. She was speechless and I asked her “didn’t your previous employer said that to you”. She replied “No”. After 5 years, finally I have peaceful mind leaving my office for a few days and for the first time during recent ITP I never called my office and had not received any phone calls from the office. Today I said “Shida, Thank you very much and I really appreciate you”.

The Power of Intention!

What I feel like saying is …

I am happy and content. Life is a bliss. It has been a great 2 ½-week adventure in Kuala Lumpur. My life has transformed tremendously. I have grown so much mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

I feel honored and blessed to have wonderful people in my journey; my loved ones, my family, my business partners, my friends, my network and of course, my new mastermind team. They ask more of me than I do. They are my eyes when I could not see, my ears when I could not hear, my hands when I could not hold and my heart when I could not feel. Thank YOU for all you do, I know and all you do, I do not know that has made huge difference in my life.

Two weeks ago, I attended Money & You® in Kuala Lumpur. It was my tenth Money & You®. This program has been the landmark of my life. Every single time I attended and reviewed it, I learn new principles, I gained new distinctions, and I caused breakthrough results in my life.

I remembered the flip-chart.

On reflection, when I create a change in my life (or I call it a new game), I begin with the INTENTION. Today, I am sharing with you FOUR critical elements in creating powerful intention.

1. CLARITY – Be specific and concise. In present tense.
2. PURPOSE – Why I want it? “The bigger the WHY, the easier the HOW” ~Jim Rohn.
3. BELIEF – Believe than I can attain it and I deserve it!
4. COMMITMENT – Do W.E.I.T. (whatever it takes). Devote oneself unreservedly.

My dear readers, these elements have given me miracles in my life. I invite you to practice using these four keys in creating your intention in areas of your life which are important to you.

Till we meet again. Have an amazing life!
