Father and daughter reading books in library by Ronnie Kaufman

Can you remember the first time you listen to the person who is reading book for you? My mother is the one I can remember. The best part of the story telling is not falling asleep after listening but the valuable lesson you learnt. Who can read the story book sharply at age of three? Congrats for those who can. And so while looking at the photo on each page my mother explain what happen.

I will list few stories that my mother told me which gives moral value, guide and wisdom to my life. I learnt that I should not be greedy when my mother tell the story of the greedy black crow. The story of Homer The Owl that makes me courageous and brave. The truth and the lesson from the Bible is the best of all time.

Once you acquire wisdom it will benefits you. Reading book to a child means will not only to help them learn and grow wise; reading books to a child will also make them remember you.

Live in the present

by dlysen on November 15, 2011 in Make A Difference with 13 Comments

I am telling my story to a first year college student taking his second semester that failed three major subjects when I was freshman. Wasted, he told me but I smile and answer him No I wasn’t. I value it as I learned something. When he told me about getting perfect passing grade on his exam I told him that I had that experience too. Passing and failing gives you both experience that you can use now and in the future.

It is more wasted when you pass the exam but didn’t learn or used it in your life living the present. Good for those who experience failure that knows the pain of being left behind. The past will support you to live in the present; you just have to learn from it to use them well. Your past will tell your strength and weakness.

How to live in the present?

Live in the present

Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.

Start giving thanks to God for having your days and to live forward enjoying His blessing. Start breathing the air and affirm that you are happy to have your life to live.

Smile and feel it. It is really hard to smile when you feel sad, but keep smiling and eventually you will find yourself happy. Sounds like crazy but try it, it works.

Don’t worry about the past; instead use them to make your day. What you have learned and experienced will help you to deal in the present. It’s your chance to make change and succeed.

Make priority and manage your time. We only have 24 hours per day so make the most of it productive without stress. Know your schedule and avoid delay and you will enjoy the result of having more time.

Express your love and share it as you have more than enough. When you give love then you receive love too.

Forgive specially to those people who ask. Forgiving It is the best way to let go of your grudges. Grudges will stole your happiness in the present, forgive and let go of your grudges.

In the summary: I just want to take note that it’s hard to live in the present when you still live in the past. There are more ways to live in the present. Think positively and you will find it.

Celebrate Diversity

Be proud of what you have and who you are. When you feel different from others then be the first to accept and love it, let the rest follows you. Appreciate who you are and feel great about it.

From the moment in time you got to know who you are and starting to love yourself, celebrate as it is your birthday. No other person can love you more than you can offer to yourself unless you don’t want to live anymore. You don’t love yourself when you stop breathing intentionally, but do you think it’s unfair to those people who love you more than you love yourself.

Look at the man with out arms; they are very good in using their feet to feed their mouth with food and most of all they can smile.

Take a look of the photo I grab from Tumblr. I don’t the original source of this photo to give credit. Thanks for this inspiring photo scattered on the net.

Let Go of Fearful Thoughts

by dlysen on November 11, 2011 in Don't Worry, Make Money with 3 Comments

What are you afraid of? Check if you are getting benefits from the fear that you have. Fear is either beneficial or destructive. It is an attitude that you must know to how to use very well.

Fear stops you from doing things. Robert Kiosaki give acronym to FEAR as “false expectation appearing real” and those four words gives you a doubt of doing things. We are commonly hoping that our expectation is most likely to happen and that paralyze us to take action. We have to take courage to overcome our fear and that will change our expectations. If your expectation is change, you are now having a new hope to believe in, new hope to push you into action and overcome your fear completely.

You can overcome fear by trying.

I’m sharing you a story of how the boy overcomes his fear from kissing. To cut the story short the boy was afraid to kiss his girlfriend because it was the first time. He thought that he might get disappoint when his girlfriend refuse to kiss him back. Fear is always present on your first time and to eliminate that fear you have to try and do something. The boy kiss her girlfriend and finally her girlfriend kiss back. It was a success and the boy kisses her again and again.

Overcome your fear by Facts and studies.

Dealing with our finance, we are afraid to invest our time and money. A careful study and feasibility are needed to overcome your fear. But we will never know if that investment is good or for us if we don’t try.

Overcome Fear by Faith

The best FEAR that you can have is God Fearing. I don’t believe on what is written on the bible is TRUE and that eliminate my fear of false expectations appearing real. Blessing and more blessing when you have this kind of Holy Fear.

Fear is never bad at all. Fear pushes us to learn and be strong. Fear helps us to be humble and safe. Fear is something you have make you grow.

I worry about my fashion on learning whatever I like. This year I have my focus on understanding online marketing and developing my skills for it. At the same time I want to learn another things “real estate venture” but my time is not enough to handle it. I know that it will take years for me to become a good real estate broker and I have to invest money too.

What I want to do now is to apply what I’ve learned from online marketing and at the same time, deal with real estate. I got the idea form Richard Carlson on his “Don’t worry make money – Form a winning partnership.” What this idea can do for me? I don’t know much about selling property but I know someone who is very proficient on making a good deal. Some essence of online marketing is getting more prospects in to your sales. If that person is looking to do this technology, then we can form a winning partnership.

Your partner can cover up your weakness. You and your partner have different functions. When that functions work together, it can create a great result. This is what you call the winning partnership.

Make A Difference

Have you tried to take care of your friend child or baby? Do you think it’s normal to offer baby sitting? It is normal but it is very rare or it comes once in a blue moon. We’re too busy yet we can make a difference by giving our extra time and effort for our friends. We can make difference to the person you ask to take care or help them to take care of their young.

Working at home together with children will divide our time attending both of your job and responsibility. You have to leave what you are doing to attend the need of your children. As a friend it would be nice to visit your friends’ house for help. You can attend to baby-sit on watching TV while you let your friend finished some work.

When your friend can’t bring their children on their work or appointment, offer your time to take care of them. It will be really nice to help and develop good relationship. Building relationship really make difference.

Keep in Mind that Circumstances Don’t Make a Person, They Reveal Him.

We become the person and the product of our experienced. This topic explains what come first, Attitude or Success? Every successful man has the right attitude to achieve his goal. It is hard to become successful when we don’t have the winning attitude.

We want to become successful but first we must engage with circumstances. We can call it a test that shows who we are as we failed or succeed in the end. A circumstance is a mirror that shows how you react and reveal who you are. That experience will transform to become who you are weather you learn or not. Looking at the mirror don’t change anything, I only shows who you are. What important is to learn from what you see. Being prepared at any given situation can help you handle or solve the problem and sometimes it’s already solved, we just have to pass thru it. The circumstances will reveal if you are really prepared or not.

Attitude can be mold by circumstances. Circumstances is constantly shaping your character, we adjust ourselves when we see us bad or good at the current situations. We can choose what we become and known for who we are.

Eliminate your most self-defeating belief

by dlysen on July 3, 2011 in Don't Worry, Make Money, My Books with No comments

The lack of motivation and courage can form this kind of attitude.

Self-defeating belief can be overcome by loving and knowing more about your self. This is an inside job, to battle against your negative subconscious mind and never let any of it influence you.

This attitude will discourage you with “you can’t do it attitude.” And influence you by “giving up to soon.” Overcoming your self-defeating belief can move things fast.

Self-defeating belief is like when you first try a roller-coaster ride. A minute before the ride you felt nervous. Being afraid of heights plus feeling nervous is one of your self-defeating beliefs. We over come that feeling as soon as we get over the ride. There are two things that can happen; one is to overcome your fear and to fail experiencing the roller-coaster ride. This story happens to me on our high school field trip at Enchanted Kingdom, Sta. Rosa Laguna. We rush to the space shuttle as we enter the gate. We want to ride the roller-coaster first of all the rides. Some of us back up from the falling line. After the rides you can hear two things, it was great and I will never try it again.

Sometimes we back out or quit even there is so many possibilities that we can. If you really want to succeed in this situation, you must find courage, have faith and inspirations. Your action will move to eliminate your self-defeating beliefs.

Look at the child, who knows nothing, they are not afraid to ask what they want. They will do everything to achieve what they want. It is because they don’t know about defeat and they just pursue what they want. They get two results in the end, fail or succeed. We don’t want to fail again next time so we avoid doing that mistake again. This develops our self defeating belief that we never notice and had this fear as we grew up.

This attitude will not really help you to move on. You’re slow in progress. When you want something to accomplish remove your self-defeating belief out of your way. If you want to pass on the board exam, then review as if is you will never fail. Because if you think you will fail on the exam then your review is just a waste of time, but then if you believe that you can really pass, your review will be worth afterwards. You will see the difference in your action when you believe or not.

Overcoming your fear will help to remove your self-defeating belief. This is not an easy thing just like a habit that you want to avoid. Practice and look for help. You can do it alone but it will be more luck with the help of others. They can give you more motivation and inspiration to overcame your fear and change your self-defeating belief to challenging triumph moment.
