Next Step Objectives

The longest journey begins with a single step in front of another.  So when you set objectives and want to see them through always do you planning as you would a flow chart.  Taking the next step planned in front of the next objective.

So a dream can turn into a reality with a plan of action, trial and error and failure until it works.

Dreams become goals and goals in fact where once dreams.

If you ever looked a the design of a flow chart you see it has constant choices that can take you in two different directions.  For example:

Alarm rings ——> hit snooze or ——> turn off alarm and get up out of bed.

Hit snooze —–> 10 minutes more sleep and/or —–>late for work or ——->get up to prevent being late for work.

You get the idea, life is full of choices.  We can always however understand the consequences of choosing one direction over the other.  Upfront consider the consequences of making the decision prior to making it.

Another way at looking at the next step objective is your never done with a goal.  You always have a next step so that your mind and body and spirit are never idle.

A busy mind is much better than a mind always asleep.

We are either growing in life and taking the next step or we are going backwards there is no just standing still.

So the next time you set some objectives for your goal/dream that your creating think about planning the next step towards success and even if failure comes to rest at your feet step over it.   Step over the failure, get over the failure and understand in reality you just got an education.

Not a bad way to move forward is it?  

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

New Affirmation for the Month of March ….. Use it daily and feel the change in you.

I walk with confidence and understanding towards success.  Born into a perfected state I strive to achieve my intended purpose, to love, to share and care for self and for others that come in contact with me.  I choose to be happy and share laughter.  Making a difference in another persons life for the better gives positive and ever flowing energy into my world.  I am focusing on my goals, the this moment goal, this day, my weekly goals and monthly goals I achieve because of my spirit and focus.

Simple Objectives

Simple easy to do objectives that have easy to follow steps that take you to the Goals and Objectives that your mind, heart and spirit wishes.  Make it easy and keep it simple.

Simplicity will always win over complex.  Break down your goals/objectives into smaller and more easily understood objectives.  Make them as easy and understandable that a 6th grader could understand.

For example you have a goal to become more organized.

You set an objective that your paperwork/bills/recipes whatever need to become more trackable. 

You then trace down your objective to be as simple as get all your bills and sort them by date/week that they are due.  

Make the time and keep the objective in alignment with your goal and keep it simple.

The first step is always the hardest and involves action and taking the time to push ahead.  If you need the motivation then set up a reward system and plan something inexpensive and simple to do with your family as a reward to getting your objectives and goals done.

Simple, easy steps that added up will take and move you forward and you also will find that momentum in that action incites more action.

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

Do it yourself

Perhaps you’re considering to ask for an apology through text messages, emails, by phone, or by asking others to do it, but what if the message you want to deliver is being misunderstood? I know it isn’t easy, but you need to do it by your self.

It doesn’t have to be too formal

You can always ask for an apology in a casual and simple way.

Admit your mistakes

Asking for apology supposed to be started by admitting the mistakes you’ve made. Asking others to apologize you without showing your regret about the mistake you’ve made is equal to opening up another chance for another war.

To the point

Say that you regret whatever mistakes you’ve made and you feel so sorry for that. Showing your intention to make it up is a great point, but don’t forget to make it true.

Don’t blame others for your mistake

Sounds like moving the battle field to another area. Would this make the war end? Nope. It would just raising the risk of creating a wider battle field.

Sincerely

As a friend told me, “Don’t just say, ‘I mean it’.” The person that you’re dealing with can feel whether you’re asking it sincerely or you’re just pretending to ask an apology. So, don’t fake it.

Listen

Perhaps that person you’re dealing with need to channel his/her emotion. All you need to do is listen, pay attention, and again, sincerely do so.

Lose Weight

     Need I say more? America’s favorite resolution because close to 1/3rd of all Americans are classified as obese. Obesity depends on your body mass index (BMI). This value is calculated based on your height and weight. A BMI of 25.4 and above is considered obese. The key thing about losing weight is to realize that good nutrition along with exersise helps reduce your BMI. You can’t just exercise and eat junk food all day long and expect to lose weight. Similarly, just eating less without any exercise will also not help.

Stop Smoking

     This resolution is farily self explanitory. But, it is incredibly hard to follow throught. This is because not only does smoking relieve some stress, but it also affects a person psychologically. Pure “will” to quit smoking doesn’t work because there are plenty of environmental stimuli that trigger your mind into craving a cigarette. Therefore, changing psychological associations with environment, with reduced nicotine chewing gums or nicotine patches helps reduce smoking. The key is to reduce smoking overtime, not just quit once and for all. You may face tremendous relapse.

Enjoy Life One Moment at A Time

     Whatever that means… There are guru’s who argue that we don’t live enough “in the moment.” In today’s world of efficiency, everyone seems to spend all their time planning for the future, and not really take the time to enjoy their current accomplishments or reflect on the past. A way to accomplish this resolution is to write down all your accomplishments and post them up on your wall. Also starting a journal (personal diary) or a blog where you occasionally write your thoughts and accomplishements will help you live in the “moment” more.

Help others more

     As Ali G. may say “Respect!” This resolution takes many forms such as helping kids in Africa by symbolically adopting a child or an animal. The symbolic adoption takes the form of having a pen-pal in a developing country. Adopting an animal involves donating money to an organization that helps protect endangered species such as Polar Bears. In order to help others more, one should consider not just donating money but also one’s time. Frankly, being directly involved in a cause that you feel passionate about is more rewarding than just donating money.

Reduce Stress

     May I suggest Yoga or Pilates? Kicking the habit of drinking coffee and reducing time spent in front of a screen (TV or Computer) also helps. Some people reduce their stress by joining a social club or taking a relaxing vacation. Others may adopt a dog and taking it for walks helps too. The key is to try a combination of activities and vacation.

Become Smarter

     Read, read, and read some more! Joining your local book club may help. Also, there are several excellent sources to continue your education. Local community colleges provide inexpensive classes that help you develop a hobby or a trade skill. Additionally, online lectures offered by top-ranked colleges, such as MIT, Yale, and Harvard, offering courses in subjects variying from Literature to all types of Sciences will help you in the endeavor to enrich your mind.

Stop Procrastinating

     Procrastination is more a perception than a reality. Often times we over comit ourselves and our mind is in a constant struggle to try to relax versus get things accomplished, neither of which occur. But there is certainly no need to get a psychologist to analyze you or go to therapy. Just realize that in your free time you will only be accomplish a few key goals. And yes, relxation should also be a goal. So, try to reduce your expectations in terms of goals. But, not so low that you don’t get anything accomplished.

Learn Chinese (or some other language)

Nice. This goes well along with becoming smarter. Learning a new language is surprisingly easy in today’s world of technology. There are several websites that offer free drills and exercises. But it is exceptionally difficult to master another language to the level of somone who is native to that language. The goal should be to reach a level of proficiency that allows you to think in “terms” of the language. This occurs when you don’t look to translating every word in your own language, but you start thinking in your newly acquired language.

Save Money

Wise Decision especially in this economy. Try to look for services you no longer need, or alternative for those services that you can obtain for less money. Utilities such as telephones are key money savers. For example, on your cell phone you may have purchased a data plan that you rarely use to it’s full capacity (the unlimited plan)! Similarly, you may have subscriptions to services such as home alarm systems that you don’t really need. The lesson is simple, try to figure out what you absolutely need, and what you really don’t need. Moreover, if you realize that you made a mistake in cancelling a service that you really needed, then you can always sign up for it again.

Keep Things Simple

See “Save Money”. Also, you may resolve to this if you are coming from a long and complicated relationship that ended badly. Other reasons to want to keep things simple is if you are unable to keep track of all your responsibilites at work, or manage your finances, or are not able to handle all your commitments. In order to keep things simple for yourself, you simply have to balance your expectations, strengths, and weaknesses. Start with a list of all your strengths and weaknesses. You shouldn’t really have any trouble managing your strengths. But in improving your weaknesses, make sure your expectations are realistic. For example, if time management is a weakness, don’t expect formulating a tight plan for tracking every hour of every day to work in terms of time management. However, having daily goals for accomplishing tasks, and setting reasonable deadlines for completing projects, assignments, or goals, is a more realistic way to manage time.

Find Unconditional Love

Isn’t that a condition? As humans, we will always have flaws, but don’t give up hope in looking for true love. Gone are the days when you only had access to a few people for relationships. With the advent of the internet and internet dating sites, your range has greatly expanded in finding your perfect. To many, the internet doesn’t seem like the perfect match-maker, however, think of these sites as a place to see what’s out there. In other words, it’s there for browsing. You don’t have to comit to anything.

Not Make a New Years Resolution

My Favorite! A lot of times things are going very well. There are time when we need detailed plans of actions, but for the most part things are farily good. Therefore, you can continue doing what you are doing for the next year and allow yourself to wait until you really need to change things. In fact, you may want to consider making a mid-year resolution, or a quarterly resolution. An entire year to accomplish something has no “teeth” to it. You need to be consistent in re-evaluating your goals, and making the judgement as to whether you are on track. Therefore, a new-year resolution couple with a mid-year resolution is better!

                               Manny “Pacman” Pacauiao, the finest Filipino boxer has been the legendary hero in the stage of boxing not only in the Philippines but also in the rest of the world. He gained respect and adoration of the people of the world for his excellent ability not to mention his finest records in boxing.

Image via Wikipedia

                                His unstoppable and most powerful punches have made the Filipinos so proud of him. He hails in General Santos City, Philippines and born in a poor family. With the nurturance of his mother Dionesia, who never waver in the lake of poverty, Manny Pacquiao and the rest of his brothers and sisters were brought up in an upright moral values.

Image via Wikipedia

                                       Manny Pacquiao humble beginnings has been his weapon in carrying on his life. Though he has achieved so much at his age, not to mention his indulgence as a congressman of the Saranggani where he was born, he remained grounded and put God as his priority of his life. Now, he so busy preparing for his fight against a Mexican boxer, aside from his Game show in a certain TV station where he gives hundreds of thousands of prizes that gives hope to the Filipino people.

Image via Wikipedia

                                  I should say Manny Pacman Pacquiao is an emblem of discipline and a face of a genuine servant with a roaring tiger of ability to fight as a boxer .

This is my first article here i hope you learn from it. If you have any constructive Criticism or suggestions pease post your comment.

Obama has announced that Congress has reached a deal that would allow the US to avoid a default. But will this plan really solve anything. The way I see it is that we will be borrowing more to pay back loans, but then we will be even deeper in debt.

          This is an example I have made up in my head. Imagine for a second that you are going to the bank. You borrow a hundred dollars. After a month you have to pay back the hundred dollars, and interest. But the thing is that you don’t have the hundred dollars. So what you do is you go to another bank and borrow 100+ dollars to pay back the first bank. After a month it’s time to pay back the second bank. You have maybe $5 dollars in your pocket so you pay the bank. But you would still need about $103 dollars; so you go to another bank. However, later on you need more money, so you go back to the first and second bank to borrow more money. All the while you are unable to pay back anybody, but you still continue to borrow. Now just imagine this on a trillion dollar scale, and you have my view on the debt crisis. 

          This new bill would essentially allow the US to borrow more money in order to pay back its old loans. The bill will cut over $2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years, and $1 trillion dollars right now, but will that really do much? The problem I have is that after a while, somebody will have to pay back the 14 trillion dollar debt. But we don’t know who, and as of right now it looks as if the national debt is only going one way… up.

Since this my view, feel free to leave a comment down below and explain your view on what is really happening here.

If you have ever been in a windowless room, you may feel very depressed or lazy. But have you ever thought that kids might feel this feeling too? Something as small as having bigger windows will increase standardized test scores by 25 percent and progress 15 percent faster in math and 23 percent faster in reading than classrooms with smaller windows. In other words, the difference between passing and failing could be as simple as opening the blinds.

Why does this work?

As I stated before, sunlight makes us happier,  helps eyesight and suppresses melatonin, a chemical that suppresses sleep patterns. So opening the blinds would make kids happier to be at school, see better and less sleepy, which are very obvious things that sunlight does. Architects in the 70’s were pressured into designing windowless classrooms, to keep the costs down and because school administrators thought that windows were distractions. Do you remember your teacher yelling at you because you were watching the cars go by? That is why windows were taken out and kids today are paying for it.

2. Start the school day later (just by an hour)

This is something that every kids knows, but parents ignore.

Look around your classroom/office, chances are you will see one person yawning and rubbing their eyes, and another with a zombie glare. How do we know this? It is because one out of three Americans are sleep-deprived and we are pushing these habits onto our children. For kids, especially teenagers, this extra hour can save the student from failure. A high-school in Toronto, Canada claimed that 11th grade math failure rate dropped from 45 percent to 17 percent. Not only that, but the kids that go to school an hour later say that they are less depressed and parents say that they are easier to deal with

Why does this work?

It is because of the hormonal switch in the body’s natural clock; teens are often not sleepy later in the night, so they stay up longer, but society forces them to be at school by 7:30 am. As a result, teenagers only get around 6-7 hours of sleep a night, rather than the 9 hours that experts say they need. That 2-3 hours may not sound like much, but take in to account that 20 percent end up falling asleep in class. Falling asleep in class is not even the worst-case scenario. Remember what sleep deprivation does to adults? Put those ailments on to your already hormonally screwed up teenager and see if things work out (They won’t)

3. Get the kids for a walk before a test

As if kids these days need even another reason to get kids exercising. We have kids with corn syrup flowing through their veins, sitting around tweeting about Justin Beiber on their smart phones. But even for chronically unfit children, going for a 20-minute walk before a test get higher test scores and a 5-10 percent increase in cognition.

Why does this work?

Exercise makes the executive-function part of your brain work better. If you have never heard of executive-function, it is the part of the brain that controls attention span, how well you strategize and how well you manage your time. All things that are important in taking a test, or in taking an anything. 

All it takes is a 20-minute walk a day, but if you really want your children to have an edge, take them on a walk everyday. Fit children not only have a social and body edge over overweight children, they also have a bigger hippocampi, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for memory. Remember that this costs the school nothing.
