Driven and Fueled by Passion

I was doing work just now but there was this niggling thought that kept interrupting the peace of my mind. I could not really focus on the work because I had not exercise.

To put it simply, I did not do something which I really thought was very important, and it affected my level of focus. It is not the same with everyone. Some people get affected if they do not pray the first time they wake up. Some gets affected is they do not bathe in the morning and it might well affect their morning.

I realize in life, everything is segmented into levels of priorities. There are few levels of importance; level one being the most important, and level 10 being the least. The more consistent we are in completing or achieving the top levels, the more significant we feel, and the more self assured we are.

For now, my level one will be my excercises and workouts. This may seem dumb or not really significant, but like I said, it depends on what and how you think. If workouts make you feel significant, of course it is critical you do them because it affects your mood and self assurance indirectly for the rest of the day.

Just like ladies who binge and feel all lousy after that, their level one priority will be eat healthily and in small consumption. When they violate their priorities, they feel like crap, therefore, feel very distracted, and indirectly lowers their morale and significance. Even if their level two priority might be looking good, and they manage to wear terrific branded makeup, level one priority still overrules, and it is hard for them to feel good about themselves.

There is a need to find the priorities in our lives and to fulfill them at the earliest time possible so that you will feel more significant and self assured for the rest of the day.

Anyway, level two priority for me would be studies :P

We have all think throughout our entire lives. Thought of the future, of the past, and at time we can even think RIGHT NOW. We tend to think and think to the extend it cripples our present moment. We do not take action now due to the continuous thinking. I have realized this is one of my biggest crippling action in my entire life.

I will think of various things. Mundane stuff like should I work out or not. What if I did and get tired after that, and then I would not be able to continue my work, so on and so forth.
That thinking process becomes habit forming and it builds momentum from there. The more we think, the more crippled we get.

What we focus on and do today, will determine our tomorrow, definitely. If I procrastinated to jog every morning, will I be fitter tomorrow than I am today? Of course.

Thinking about the past does not help either. The past does not shape us. We can eliminate the past, and start right now. Never hold back. I have a few deficiencies which I am still trying to eliminate, and it takes time and effort. I have a strong belief that my life will not just end here, being an IT personnel. I know I have more potential than that, and it is coming out soon.

Stop thinking, and take more action. We can never stop our minds from thinking, but we can focus it to something clearly positive. The more clear you are on the positives, the better impact you get in your daily life, and the better your chances to accomplish your goals that you have for that entire year!

This morning I was really tired as I had been running since Sunday and doing circuit training in the afternoon. I did not feel like running just now but after focusing on my goals, I got the motivation back. I did quite well, almost reducing the amount of time to nearly a minute. Of course, it was a really tiring run. Basically what I do everyday is not just a normal jog, rather a run that pushes the heart to its limit. Everytime I reach the final mark, I get really exhausted.

I felt like doing a slow jog, but I would not want to lower my standards. I have been through ups and downs in my fitness regime. I realized once you lower down your standards during a workout, it somehow creates a mental anchor that whenever you do your workouts, you give yourself the ability to relax and not push yourself hard enough to expand. You can do your very best on one day, but you can also allow yourself to relax when you do not feel that good.

That should not be the case. I admit it is very hard to instill the discipline at first, but I had to constantly focus on my goals and mental image every time I feel like giving up. I was about to take the lift just now because I was satisfied with the run, and felt like skipping walking up the stairs which I normally do. Once I got my focus back and mental image in order, naturally, I climbed the stairs without much mental negotiation.

I will never ever going to lower my standards anymore. Once I focus on a goal, I will do my best to get to where I aim, and the tough gets going, I will get tougher than that. I will not sit back and relax.

I often get demoralized when things do not turn out the way it should be. The truth is, this kind of things happen, and it must not affect you. I realize I have to keep on going. If today does not work out to what you aim for, continue doing it day by day, and I guarantee, the results will show.

We all hate to study but we force ourselves to for our future. Why not in other aspects of our lives?
