Be the CHANGE you want to see in this World
Ghandi said, ‘Be the CHANGE you want to see in this World.‘
Leo Tolstoy said, ‘Everyone thinks of changing the World, but no one thinks of changing himself.’
I have lived by the principle: For things to Change, I MUST FIRST CHANGE!
How can one embrace Personal Change?
Do not look to someone else to change you. If any changes were to be made, it’s only because YOU had given the permission to allow someone else to change you. You made the DECISION to be CHANGED.
Here’s an article from John C. Maxwell which I had come across some time ago, and I have thus lived by this principle henceforth…
**********************************************************
-Extracted from John C. Maxwell-
After several years, I awakened to the thought that the only person who can change himself or herself is himself or herself. You can change yourself, but I cannot change you. You see, I am responsible to you but I am not responsible for you; and there is a world of difference between those two. I am responsible for teaching you good leadership. I am responsible for sharing things that can help add value to your life, but you are the only one who can take responsibility to change yourself, and that is what this whole article is about.
Most people need to look at the way that they look at change.
How many times have you heard somebody say, “I sure hope things will change.” The only way things will change for me is when I change. It has nothing to do with hope. You can’t just say, “Well, I just hope things will change around me,” and expect results. The only way that things will change for me is when I change.
I have also heard this before, “I don’t know why I’m this way.” Well, you are the way you are because that is the way you want to be. Let’s expose it for what it really is.
When you make the right personal changes, other things begin to turn out right.
So when people say, “I’d like things to turn out better for me; I’d like things to turn out right; I’d like things to turn out better in the organization, or in my family,” I say to them, “Start by making personal changes.”
**********************************************************
So, how does one embark on the FIRST STEP towards CHANGE?
Step 1: Make a DECISION that you want to live a Different life.
You want things in your life to be different. You want circumstances in your life to be more ideal. Just as James Allen says, “Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an ideal and strive to reach it.”
Step 2: Set a GOAL and WRITE your GOAL down. (Important to write it down)
There is a process to set GOALS. The normal Goal Setting process SUCKS. I’ve given a link below how you can have access to the audio recording of why Goal Setting sucks by Bob Proctor’s Master Coach DEV and how you can actually set a Goal and ACHIEVE It. GREAT insightful audio! Answers loads of people’s questions why they never achieve their goals.
http://goals.successesource.com/
Step 3: Set a 90 days Plan of Action to form that NEW & DIFFERENT habit
It takes 21 days to form a new habit. 90 days before this new habit becomes a conditioning or a part of us. Stick to it. Remember, for things to change, you must FIRST change.

The Law of the Garbage Truck
We meet people day in and day out, and for some people whose job is mainly to deal with people, they will be directly immersed in the exchange of ENERGY with people. It is no wonder if at times, people leave us feeling drained and tired…. thus I’d love to share this article on The Law of the Garbage Truck (by David J. Pollay)which is extremely appropriate for us when we meet with people every single day.
**********************************************************************
How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood?
Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can get back their focus on what’s important. David J. Pollay explains his story in this way….
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean…he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”
“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally.. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.”
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore.”
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Never let the garbage truck run over you…

The PRESENT
November 15, 2009
Great Tips for LIFE… WOW!!

My schedule comes in short bursts of extremely hectic times, hectic times and just about busy times. Once in a blue moon, I get that wonderful blissful days where I don’t have to turn on my computer, not even to surf. And I dedicate those days entirely to pampering myself.
And being so hectically busy most times, I still want to inject little pockets of moments where I will be spiritually fed and mentally nourished. It’s almost difficult to read books as fast as I would want to, and so had turned to mind tidbits on days when I’m going through extremely hectic bursts of days.
Today, I’d like to share with you, my dearest friends…. some of the golden gems which I’d call the greatest Mind Tidbits:
GREAT MIND TIDBITS for a WONDERFUL LIFE……
- Always do MORE than you get paid for as an investment in your future.
- Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than you found it.
- If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and good service in a customer, you can make a fortune.
- Don’t just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make something of you.
- The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don’t.

The POWER LEVERAGE

Extracted from T. Harv Eker’s SPEED WEALTH
- Leverage is using other people’s talents, skills, contacts, credibility and resources.
- Leverage is fully utilising the latest technologies in computers, software and telecommunications to increase your speed and efficiency.
- Leverage is selling products before you have them, or at least, before you have to pay for them.
- Leverage is expanding your business using your customer’s or supplier’s money.
- Leverage is getting more from each of your employees by properly training them, treating them well, and giving them the space to express their true talents.
- Leverage is managing your time more effectively so you do the right things instead of just do things right.

Leverage is a MINDSET. It’s an ART. It’s a SCIENCE.
It often separates those who create financial freedom quickly, from those who continue to struggle for the rest of their lives.

Do you need your Daily Garbage?
Garbage for you, mam?
I am not one of those people who will flip the newspaper over a cup of coffee in the morning. As a matter of fact, I hadn’t been flipping the papers for quite a while now. Sometime ago, I had marvelled at how much crap the media is trying to sell to us, overcrowding our senses with so much of distraction that I had decided I can do without those distractions. I have enough challenges already as it is, trying to stay focused.
This day, I had a renewed interest and had started once again to wonder what lies within the almighty newspapers these days, and what it has in store for the mankind of this Diwali Day. And I thought, just perhaps the papers will once again be filled with happy news about life and celebration…. And so, I began flipping the pages……..
The first few pages tell me about the sad tragedy in Philippines, and how the storm ravaged areas need to be evacuated again. And I thought about my old friends in Philippines, I would need to send them a message and ask about them.
Reading on, the papers tell me that the Thai king is well and that my neighbour, Malaysia, the MCA president seems to stay on after the series of fanfare.
As I go on, I got instantly updated about some unfortunate car accident fatalities, a man who got jailed after pouring urine on another, while another got jailed for sexual assault. Also, 3 loan sharks suspects were held or some fake apparel syndicates got busted. Hmm…. Very interesting but otherwise news I can really live without.
And I began to wonder if my life would really change for the better if I had religiously flipped the papers every morning……… and my attention was caught by this HD Plasma TV that the store is giving up to 70% discount because of Deepavali Festival! Wow!! 70% discount…(I had somehow missed the tiny words ‘up to’), and the furniture warehouse sale NOT to be missed! Or yet another ½ page advert on the amazing 3G iphone package (hmm..I’m now seriously considering replacing my 1st generation 8GB iphone which had accompanied me for the last 2years). Perhaps I should consider investing in an air purifier too now that they are all on 50% discount!
Perhaps, I shouldn’t go on looking at the Oh-so-attractive adverts; they’ll just drive my lust for merchandise wilder. ‘Stay centred….stay cool……’ I told myself as I take a deep breath, and brace myself for what lies ahead on the papers.
Hmm…. Being a Life Coach, perhaps I ought to check out the seminars and workshops out there to keep myself abreast. And ho… there are only about 5 Forex and Trading seminars that say I will regret if I miss them. Or this Global Internet Summit which I shouldn’t miss too. So, perhaps I should throw a dart and let the dart decide the one I REALLY shouldn’t miss.
And as if the divine has chosen this specific moment to speak to me. Dennis Waitley’s message came to me; the trap of “the more I buy, the more I need.” What wise words…. Life is not about remote controls and automatic car locks, big screen plasma TVs or a universal remote that controls everything (watch ‘Click’ if you hadn’t already watched it). Life is about precious moments spent with friends and families, donation to a cause or organisation that would make a difference, reaching out to the world to make a little change, it is about smelling the roses, and feel a deep sense of gratitude towards the beauty of people, the beauty of the world. Life is about giving…. Afterall, all that I take will forever be lost, but what I give will forever remain mine.
As I turn the last page, I have a renewed determination that moving forward in life, I will count my blessings instead of my possessions. I will spend more time with people I love, instead of spending more money on things I don’t need. And lastly, the newspapers remain as something I will flip over a cup of coffee only once in a blue moon. It is afterall, garbage I don’t really need.

The *NEW* Me After UPW with Tony Robbins
I can’t believe how amazing Transformations can be until I became amazingly transformed after UPW.


I have long heard of the power of the Number 1 Success Coach in the World – Tony Robbins and have read his books and listened to his audio CDs and have applied his teachings both in my Personal life as well as integrated a bit into the workshops that we run.
And when I got my partner the opportunity to conduct the UPW Previews for Success Resources in KL, UPW became even more of a Reality for me for the fact that …..Finally, I’m going to see Tony LIVE! I was so EXCITED about attending UPW in Singapore that my partner, Master Coach DEV & I actually made a decision to re-schedule our Train-the-Trainer certification in KL so that we can allow our participants to go for UPW as well! ———- and I must say, it was indeed a great decision we had both made!
Being a seasoned seminar attendee, we have gotten used to the early morning queues at the door at least 1.5 hours before the seminar start time. This time round, people were asking us why do we still want to arrive 1.5hours before to queue when we had paid for the VIP seating. Well, for us, it had to be right in the front and right next to the aisle in order to fully immerse in the ENERGY & to see Tony LIVE that would make a great learning impact for us. And so…. fervently without fail every morning, we would be up by 6:30am, out by 7:00am, buying take-away meals for the day at the coffee shops and be right in front of the door by 7:30am, while the world comes strolling in gradually within the next 1hour.
Well, this time round, the VIP crowd is extremely challenging for us, especially so for me. With 800 over VIPs, 300 of them were from China!! And they are the indeed the fittest survivals in the world! (perhaps on par with the Indians), the rest of the Asians is in NO WHERE compared to them when it comes to being the FIRST in the queue & securing front centre seats. I had to contend with just aisle seat within the first 5 rows. And the most important thing I had to fight for those 4 mornings was to make sure I don’t get trampled upon when the door opened with hundreds of people behind me, jostling madly for their front seats. At that point of time, you would think that the world has come to an end, with a huge tsunami dashing towards them from the back!!!
Well, some of you may ask what do we do while waiting at the door for that 1.5hours so early in the morning. Well, we have breakfast, we meet people, we make friends with everyone standing around us.
Our new friend from Shanghai China whom we met on day 1 while at the queue. And my co-partners who will fight for my seat, Master Coach DEV & Jet while I hold on precariously to our daily supply of take-away food. (I can’t imagine how it would be I get trampled upon or the food….ghastly…)
The 4 days at UPW was phenomenal. Tony Robbins had SO MUCH of ENERGY within him! We had to jump every 15mins on the ground with our hands stretched wide open, not to mention clapping out till palms had gone numb. By the 2nd day, I was having so much of soreness at my calves, and I could only wish I had devoted more time to exercise.
If you were to ask me my checklist of gains after UPW, here’s the list which I’d summarized:
1. My resolution to buy a trampolene to continue the bouncing exercise done throughout the 4 days as that’s a really great Lymphasizing Exercise to detox the Lymph liquid in my body.
2. 4 painful blisters after the FireWalk event, and an amazing EXHILARATION that I have conquered the FIRE and I can henceforth do ANYTHING!
3. A better clarity towards my GOAL for I have a renewed DETERMINATION to STEP UP and RAISE my STANDARDS!
4. My new found discipline to become a 100% Vegetarian!!! *YES!** I’ve given up all red meat and chicken and seafood……… though I allow myself to ZAG once a month with fish.
5. I’ve quit coffee & tea for good and had gone on a mission to go alkali with my food and drinks!
6. I have decided to pick up horse riding and dedicate a part of my life to caring for the beautiful creatures….
Lastly, I am now planning to go for LIFE MASTERY & DATE WITH DESTINY. It’s time to continue raising my standards. Thank You Tony!!

The 7 Universal Laws that govern our life
What on earth do Universal Laws have to do with our lives????
I don’t know about you, but I had wondered years ago why do they have this irritating saying that ‘The Rich gets Richer and the Poor gets Poorer.’ I’m literally disgusted about this statement and think that it’s SO *BLEEPING* UNFAIR!
It has greatly eluded my pitable level of Understanding as to why would LIFE be so unfair!!!
And thus, I had embarked on a heroine’s Journey of Self Righteousness to want to discover WHO and WHY this statement is passed on from generations to generations. I have decided that I shall save the world from such disgruntled unfairness! YES!! (Heroic, aren’t I??)
It was about 5 years ago that I first learnt about Universal Laws. And my world was literally thrown topsy turvy upon learning about what Universal Laws are truly about, and what VITAL role they play in EVERYBODY’s LIVES!
Universal Laws are just like God’s Laws or Laws that govern this Universe and ALL BEINGS residing in it. They work just like the Law of Gravity. Gravity doesn’t really care about whether you know about its existence, or you have studied about it in school, or how much you truly believe you can fly. The instant you leap off a tall building, there is only ONE WAY you will go ———–> DOWN! You can leap off a building on a weekday, a public holiday, in any part of the world, it is still that ONE WAY —————> DOWN!
So, in the SAME WAY, Universal Laws work JUST LIKE the Law of Gravity! The laws DO NOT care if anyone knows of its existence or denies of its existence. It WORKS JUST THE SAME FOR EVERYONE as long as you are a part of the Universe!
Thus, my dearest friends. Here’s what I would like to do…. I had spent 1 year studying and understanding about Universal Laws and I had applied every single one of them into my life and have tested them the last 3 years, and YES, my life has indeed transformed amazingly simply because I have a clear understanding and deep respect for each of the Universal Laws and have learnt to work with them. The GREATEST Gift I had received by understanding about them is this DEEP INNER PEACE I feel ALL THE TIME.

There are 7 Universal Laws or Natural Laws as some may call them.
[1] The Law of Perpetual Transmutation
Energy moves into Physical Form all the time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It has to change its form accordingly. The images or thoughts that we hold in our Mind day in and day out will materialize into physical reality in our life. ====> It has to happen this way for it is the Law of Perpetual Transmutation.
[2] The Law of Cause and Effect
For every action, there is an EQUAL and OPPOSITE Reaction. Whatever you send into the Universe comes back to you in some form. Say good things to everyone, treat everyone with total respect and these acts will all COME BACK to you! So, never fret about what you are gonna get, just FOCUS on what you can GIVE.
Most importantly, the Result you have in your life NOW is due to a Cause you had planted some time ago. If you desire a NEW & DIFFERENT Result in your FUTURE, you gotta start planting a NEW & DIFFERENT Cause NOW!!! And the key word is NOW! ===> Aim for a better FUTURE TODAY!
[3] The Law of Polarity
Everything has an Opposite. Hot — Cold, Up — Down, Good — Bad. When faced with a dire circumstances, instead of just looking only at the bad, focus on looking for the GOOD because the Law of Polarity states that in EVERY BAD, there is GOOD and suddenly life becomes a lot more beautiful!

[4] The Law of Rhythm
The tide goes in and out. Night comes after Day, and after Day comes Night. After Spring comes Summer, and after Summer comes Autumn, and Winter follows and the cycle starts all over again and again and again and again and again….. for eternity. The Law of Rhythm governs the World and sets a rhythm for EVERYTHING.
When you are in a down swing, do not feel down for the swing will change and things will look up…. the Good Times will come.
[5] The Law of Relativity
Nothing is GOOD nor BAD until you relate it to something. A cup of coffee that costs USD20 is expensive, only when it is compared to an ordinary cuppa. But if one compares it with the best gourmet coffee in the world, then it isn’t that expensive after all. ===> Practice relating your situation to something worse, and yours WILL ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD! Doesn’t this gives you a greater Peace of Mind?
[6] The Law of Gender or Gestation & Incubation
Every seed has an Incubation or Gestation period. Ideas are SPIRITUAL SEEDS that are too governed by a Universal Gestation period, they MUST EVENTUALLY become a Physical Reality once the gestation period is up.
Know that your GOALS will become a Physical Reality when the time is up. Patience and Faith will keep you going strong.
[7] The Law of Vibration & Attraction
The Law that has taken the world by storm in the DVD ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne. The thoughts that we think day in and day out forms a certain vibration and they are being transmitted out to the Universe. Like attracts Like, so objects or people that match our vibration get attracted into our life! Whether they are things we desire or circumstances we fear, all things COME INTO OUR LIFE through the vibration we send out.
Start focusing our thoughts on THINGS WE DO WANT, and not THINGS WE DON’T WANT. For most people attract things they fear into their lives.
So my heroine’s Journey of Discovery ==> The RICH do get RICHER because they have figured out about the Universal Laws long before anybody else, so by focusing on Wealth and Abundance, they attract EVEN MORE Wealth and Abundance.
The Poor do get POORER simply because they grumble so much about their dire state that they attract repeated unfortunate circumstances into their lives.
May the LIGHT of Consciousness come upon us all….. and let us truly appreciate the Universal Laws and how they play a HUGE ROLE in our lives today.
I hope I have served humanity by sharing the little bit I have learnt. Thank you! ====> Live with PURPOSE
P.s. A HUGE Thank You to Master Coach DEV for having taught me the Universal Laws. I am in deep gratitude. To learn from Master Coach Dev, visit http://devology.wordpress.com

An Inner Journey to discover WHO WE ARE
WHO ARE WE really? Have you wondered??
I had been on a Spiritual Journey desiring to discover who I am really. What role do i play in this huge Universe.

I know humans reside deep in the Himalayas, in a deep trance of meditation for hundreds of years. I have known of humans who have gone on without food for months and yet still have energy & vitality of a 6-year old. I know of humans who have GREAT Endurance and can achieve almost anything they have set their eyes upon.
Who are these humans? What has made them so formidable? Are they even humans? For years, I have questioned the Universe and I hope that one day soon I would be able to understand better about humans as a complex being, and in doing so, able to understand MORE about myself, about WHO I REALLY AM. About WHY I AM BEING SENT here for…. and WHAT great things do I need to accomplish before I can safely say my Mission is done.
In my 8 years of Journey, set forth since to discover about ME, about the beings that we see vastly occupying this space on earth… I had learnt that I AM NOT just a Physical Being…
We are SPIRITUAL BEINGS, with INTELLECT. We reside in PHYSICAL BODIES and we are EMOTIONAL BEINGS.
We have an INNER BEING that is way MORE than the PHYSICAL BEING.
This INNER BEING is also our Higher Self or our SOUL.
This INNER BEING has Creative POWERS, only if we become Consciously AWARE of its potent presence within us.
We are POWERFUL because we have BOTH this INNER BEING and the PHYSICAL BODY…. (let me share with you what great gifts I have discovered!!)
Because we live in a 3 dimensional world, we can SEE, HEAR, FEEL, TASTE and TOUCH things or people around us. And when I discover about this, I realize that I’m TRULY FORTUNATE to be ALIVE, to have a Physical body which objects of my desire can be manifested into Physical Reality for me to hold, to love, to enjoy and to relish…..
This INNER BEING of us can be awakened to CONNECT with the Universal Powers because this INNER BEING is the SPIRITUAL part of us, the God-like part of us. It is our pathway to connect with God, it is our pathway to connect with the Universe.
This INNER BEING when fully awakened can command all the resources in this Universe at our disposal. We become a Co-Creator with our God, our Universe.
By this time, I’m usually breathless with EXCITEMENT with the power of my Inner Self, my Inner Being, my Spiritual Self……
And I know, by aligning my Inner Being with my Physical Being, I can truly begin the Journey of Manifestation.
By tapping into the Creative Powers of my Inner Being, I can leverage on my Physical Being to manifest things into a Physical Reality…. and this gives me GREAT POWER!
We are truly POWERFUL, we have the POWER to MANIFEST which many beings, many non-Physical beings, seen or unseen do not have.
I am a Human Being, a Spiritual Being with a higher Inner Being, living in a Physical Body, with a truly GREAT POWER to co-create and manifest ANYTHING and EVERYTHING of my desire.
I can work with the Universe by adhering to the Universal Laws and begin work as a POWERFUL BEING — The HUMAN BEING.
I’m still on a Discovery Journey……. and I thank GOD & the Universe for sending me here on Earth and bestow upon me the most WONDERFUL GIFT.

Begin with connecting with your Inner Being today… begin spending time on a quiet meditation daily, just by focusing on your breath, even for a good 15mins, and you will realize this Inner Being of you will speaking wondrously with you. Feel the blissful Inner Sense of Well Being…. the REAL YOU!

Believe that You Are Enough
THE Recent Months have been thoroughly hectic with so many changes and new directions to venture into the market. I have been so bogged with implementing these new changes and ever so often, I realize I often find secret thoughts of doubt stealing stealthily into my Mind. Thoughts that maybe I can’t handle the work, thoughts that maybe I ain’t good enough. Thoughts that maybe everything is way beyond me… that maybe I am just NOT ENOUGH to have what it takes within me to deliver. …..
And just when I was so secretly bogged with such stealthy thoughts, the Universe or God in my faith revealed the answer to me.. A Revelation of what I need to know in order to push forth.
Sometime back, I had bought a box of LIFE Cards. Each of the LIFE Cards carries a profound message that seems to just reach out to exactly the person who needs that message the most. I had on so many occasions marvelled at the timeliness of someone who has picked the card with the most needed message at the most impeccable time of need!!
On this day of my revelation, I had wandered to the stack of LIFE Cards and had picked at random… absentmindedly whilst the rest of my thoughts were greatly immersed in whether I’m GOOD ENOUGH for what lies ahead. And I picked this LIFE Card that shouts blatantly right into my face:
BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ENOUGH
It was such a BLOW!!!! I need to believe that I am ENOUGH!
I have all that is more than needed to deliver! God puts in all of us more capabilities that we will ever use in our lifetime to do whatever we NEED to do! That brings me to another line that I had so loved… If we were to do what we are TRULY capable of doing, we WILL be literally ASTOUNDED!
That’s RIGHT! Believe that YOU ARE ENOUGH to do ALL that you want to do in this Lifetime! God has provided us with the capabilities…. It would be an honor to Him if we were to utilise the Gifts of Capabilities he has put into us. The Universe answers you with the resources you need when you have a DEFINITE DEMAND for it.
I BELIEVE I AM ENOUGH to bring my ideals to the GREATEST HEIGHT!
BELIEVE that YOU ARE ENOUGH…..
Coach Jaq…. Living a Life of Great Revelation and True Purpose.

The Magic of Synchronicity in our LIVES
Are there really coincidences in our lives?
Are there chances that we meet people only because of coincidence?
Do events happen in our lives simply because it simply happened by chance?
What about SYNCHRONICITY?
The Amazing Incredible Coincidence?
We have always called them coincidences —- those strange happenings that the rational mind has not been able to explain or deny.
When I saw the Movie ‘Serendipity’, I’ve begun exploring about Possibilities to meet a magical person in our lives in the most extraordinary manner. Some people would call it FATE. Whatever the label is for such chance meeting, I would like to ask you readers out there, that as you read along, begin to think about the encounters you have had.
Have you ever met anyone special in the most unlikely in the most extraordinary circumstances?
When I explored further, I came across the Mind Blowing SECRET DVD which everyone knows it speaks about this amazing Natural Law — The Law of Attraction! And it dictates that everything and anything can be attracted into our lives with the POWER of THOUGHTS.
Hmm…… I began questionning every *SPECIAL* friend I had met in my life, and I realize that it is indeed part of my secret thoughts to meet them. A year ago, I met this wonderful friend who had become very dear to me in the most extraordinary circumstances, even till now it seemed as if the stars had all re-aligned themselves just so we can travel across miles and miles just to have that magical chance meeting.
And as I think back, it seemed almost EVERY special person is a result of me sending out a THOUGHT to the Universe! Be it a mentor, a lover, a best friend who equals almost a soulmate….. and I can’t help but WOW at the MAGIC of the Cosmos Power at play! In the last 3 years, I began on a pursuit to develop my Intuitive Powers & guess what, I chanced a meeting with a special mentor 1year later who gave me exactly this gift!
How much more SPECIAL can life be?
I am hereby sending out a THOUGHT to the Universe to meet a special someone who will be able to grow in the Path of SUCCESS along with me. A peer who shares the same drive, the same passion and I’m waiting……….

My Personal Journey… My Discovery of Just ONE at a Time
My Personal Journey… My discovery of Just ONE at a Time
Everyone needs to embark on a personal journey to find out what are the really important things or people in their lives.
6 years ago, I made a decision to leave my warm fuzzy home and the delicious cooking of my mom to venture into the World Unknown to explore the business acumen within me. In these 6 years, I had started 5 businesses and…….. ended 4. Each time a business is started, I had such strong faith in the potential of it and in the team I had garnered to start the business together. Each time I had to wrap up the business, either because the team didn’t work out, or simply because I don’t have time for the business. I realized that I can only FOCUS on just ONE at a time. Because the business I gave all my energy to, the one I gave all my passion to flourish…. and the team grew as much as the business grows. While I love the other businesses I had started, I can only look at starting them later when I can give them ALL of my ENERGY and FOCUS ONE AT A TIME.
And today, I realized that when it comes to personal relationship, focusing on ONE is the way to go even if the ONE doesn’t yield the desired result fast enough. And when one chapter has not completely closed, another should not even start. I had several romantic interests in my life, each more romantically fetching than the last. With each MORE promising than the last and each MORE desirable than the last, I couldn’t help but fall into the trap of landing the PERFECT LOVE, only when I realize the PERFECT LOVE lies only within my heart, do I realize that there is no need to keep on searching for the man who would love me how I’d love to be loved. Instead…. follow my heart and just LOVE the ONE I’m deeply connected with.
It took me a journey of 6years to realize that the one TRUE LOVE I am seeking is already right in front of me. If only I will nurture it and give it energy and communicate my love strategy, add in patience and acceptance….. I’ll have a flourishing Love Life and a man who will love me for my entire life.
It took me 6 years to realize…. and when I realize it, it has hit me right in the centre of my heart; The ONE which is not yet perfect, but the ONE MAN who is willing to PERFECT it TOGETHER with ME.
True Relationship Usurps Serious Threats
For the ONE who had loved me a long time and had hardly spoken out…. Thank you for loving me in your own way, Thank you for teaching me Your Way….
Thank you for helping me walk the Journey to discover that YOU are the ONE.

The Secret Garden Within Us
The Secret Garden within us
Some of us may be familiar with the novel The Secret Garden where this little sickly girl, Mary Lennox whose parents died in India and she is sent to live with her uncle in a large and mysterious British Manor. As she explores the huge estate, Mary discovers the entrance to the magical Secret Garden.
At first glance, this Secret Garden looks quite dead, with its listless flowers, very much like her bedridden cousin Colin, a boy who has become sour and surly because of his illness. Her uncle who still mourns for his beautiful young wife, who has passed away 10 years earlier while giving birth to his son – Colin, lives in darkness both in his heart and life because he cannot find joy with his beloved wife dead.
As Mary continues to explore the Secret Garden, she begins to find that anything is possible deep in the garden. Together with a village boy, Dickon who has a way with plants and animals, Mary helped the lifeless Secret Garden slowly blossom and life starts to show in this garden! And Mary herself blossomed along together, from a sickly little girl to lovely cheerful fun-loving girl; she introduces life both to herself and the Secret Garden and also to her sour cousin, Colin. When her uncle discovered that Colin has changed from a sickly boy to a healthy active boy, he realizes the magic of the Secret Garden and how much cheer and life there is around!
As I read The Secret Garden, I couldn’t help but begin to wonder about a Secret Garden deep within all of us. We had forgotten the existence of this Secret Garden in us, a Secret Garden where everything and anything is POSSIBLE! We had allowed the garden to grow listless and lifeless as we yield to the mundaneness of LIFE.
If only we can become fascinated with this Secret Garden within us, just as Mary had with the Secret Garden she has discovered. We too will begin to introduce LOVE and ENERGY, CARE and CHEER into our garden. Gradually, what appears lifeless will soon begin to BLOSSOM with LIFE!
Tend to the Garden in YOU:
There is a Garden in each of us. If we had forgotten to tend to this garden, not only will we allow it to grow listless, we will allow weeds of negativity to grow. By the time these weeds of negativity had overgrown and overtaken the Garden, we will be immersed in such great magnitude of Negativity that we will no longer know any joy in life.
SOW ONLY LOVE, PEACE and JOY in our Garden, so that we can REAP exactly LOVE, PEACE and JOY in our LIVES!
ANYTHING is POSSIBLE in our Secret Garden:
Believe strongly that ANYTHING is POSSIBLE in the Garden within us. For it is only when we believe, that any POSSIBILITY can truly and surely BLOSSOM.

Why we go to the Movies?
I am a HUGE Movie fan, a great Blockbuster sucker! Quote me any movie and likely I would already have watched it.
Now, while I was just musing about life a few mins ago. I ponder deeply about why I love movies, about why people would crave for the release of an upcoming Blockbuster…………
…… I go to movies for entertainment. I love the suspended belief that possibilities in life are reflected as the plot unfurls. I go to movies for a tinge of luxurious distraction which I allow life to pamper me.
And as I muse….. I chanced upon this wonderful video which talks about the power of 68 seconds of pure thought. And I realized that just as I allow movies to be a source of distraction and entertainment. More powerfully, I can allow seconds of PURE THOUGHT to distract me from whatever my existing circumstances are!
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2519545368140042272
Go watch this video.. It’s a big WOW for me!
I read about Visualization all the time, the Importance of Visualization, the daily routine of Visualization if I want my Goals to manifest….blah blah blah … and the more I read about it, the more I start to feel that Visualization can be a chore, especially when I’m dead tired before I hit the bed.
Now…. my biggest distinction for the day! Here goes…
If movies are my source of distraction and entertainment, shouldn’t Visualization be my source of private sanctuary too? Shouldn’t I visualize and hold my ideal in my thoughts for just a mere 17 seconds? I mean… just how long really is 17 seconds a day in my entire life span? It’s really ..JUST 17 freaking seconds! Ha! Just how long is 17 seconds to you?
Indulge yourself in the pleasure of Visualization…. Visualize for the FUN and PLEASURE of Visualization. Not as a task or chore, but just a mere source of distraction and entertainment! And it ain’t as bad as I thought it would be……
Play that movie in your Mind now, go on…. muse a bit, just 17 seconds a day. Muse about how your life should be.
P.s. Click on the video link to grasp the FULL POWER of what 17 seconds of PURE THOUGHT can do in your Life… The pleasure of the 17 seconds is almost too good to be true.
Live with PURPOSE,
Jaq…… Join me in 17 seconds of Pleasure NOW!

Memoirs of the Geeky-Gal
Memoirs of the Geeky-Gal.. (Prelude of From Nerd to Hunk)
It wasn’t too long ago when I think back to my tertiary days… there were always the *hot* girls in their mini spaghetti tops and tight jeans, and then there were always the *dudes* with their raging road bikes. The goodie girls (yes.. me!) label them as the bad boys and their bitches………. A part of me would give anything to be a part of that Oh-So-COOL gang. àààààYet, another part of me would be gently and naggingly reminded by my mom… ‘BE GOOD ok, girl!’
Now 10 years later, I wonder if there ever would be a possibility to MERGE coolness with the S-M-A-R-T factor, good grades with POPULARITY, street-smartness with nerdy wisdom. If anyone can show me a lethal formula, I will gladly exchange 10 years of my life span to re-LIVE my tertiary days!
Now… as a Youth LIFE COACH, I finally understand that EVERYTHING is possible ONLY if I make a DECISION. There is a Universal Procedure, just like SCIENCE or PHYSICS that makes it possible to be SMARTER, POPULAR and COOL …….. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Now, this Science…. Finally, the FORMULA would be made available to all youth out there…. A step-by-step transformation to morph from Nerd to Hunk, to fuse SMARTNESS, POPULARITY & COOLNESS into ONE —- The Ultimate YOU!

Do you FOCUS on LACK & LIMITATION or WEALTH & ABUNDANCE?
It is SO easy to FOCUS on happiness and satisfaction when everything in our life is going smoothly……
Picture this….
Every day you go to work happily (or least happy that you still have a job)…
You discuss and decide on a good place to hang out over lunch with your usual gang of colleagues,
After lunch, you flip the papers and discuss idly with your colleagues about a nice place to visit for your short holiday in order to clear your accumulated leave…. Australia or Korea? Taiwan or Chiangmai?? Tough choice……
Finally, after 5 days of work week…. Comes the GRAND WEEKEND….. and over the weekend, you decide to either hang out at Orchard Road with your friends, or just laze at home to catch your latest DVD movies….. Sigh, good o’ lazy weekend.
Ok ok… your life seems so typical, nothing spectacular, nothing amazing… just plain old comfortable life. If your life is about how it is described above, then it is SO EASY to focus on the goodness of life. J
NOW….. what happens if LIFE rocks you a little?
What if you are ONE of those unfortunate ones who receives a little severance package? Good enough for a few months, but not enough to last you more than 6 months?
What if you have been going on a steady string of interviews….. and yet all they can tell you was ‘We’ll let you know..’
What if you just got your salary and only by the 2nd week, you realize with dismay that after paying a stack of bills, you have barely enough to last you till the end of the month…
Hmmm…. So what now? Circumstances just ain’t that rosy…. Can you still FOCUS on the goodness of life??
Here’s a little secret….
It’s what you FOCUS on during the MOST TRYING times that yields the Results in your life…. And it is usually the ULTIMATE TEST when the going gets tough.
Here’s a little message from me:
Whatever you hold in our head, you will hold it in your hands…
Now claim this picture in your MIND…. Claim it… SPIRITUALLY…….

Making Sense of Life
You know how it is in life.
You live, you make friends, you hang out with friends, you do stuff, you go for big and small dreams, you face failures, you buy stuff; from the small ones to the big expensive ones depending on your desired lifestyles, you grow old and you passed on. Life’s an INCREDiBLE Journey!
For years, after having watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S, I had wondered for the longest time how it really is like to have housemates who are at times crazy and fun, and at times plain exasperating. I wonder if I would ever have the chance to have housemates, knowing how much I love the Peace and Quiet and would prefer my private sanctuary to be JUST my own space.
Lately, I began to open up the door of my private space and allowed ‘housemates’ to enter. It’s a huge step for me, because I really really LOVE my Peace and Quiet when I’m back at home to gather my thoughts and entertain myself with deep reflections………
And so, I started living with 2 housemates lately. Both incredible beautiful beings who are dynamic, fun and best of all, I realized………… too love their OWN PEACE & QUIET and want their OWN space! ‘Wow! People like me!!!’ I thought excitedly…. There are times I just can’t find them in the house, they have all resided into their own private sanctuaries!
Now, as many people already know…. I’m a LIFE Coach, a Personal LIFE Coach whose desires is to help an individual advance and move towards greater heights, depending on what height they want to soar. And I have learnt some time ago, that being a LIFE Coach, it is not about people paying for that hourly coaching session, but a continuous day to day thing that has already become a part of me! LIFE Coaching can happen over a cuppa, during a car ride, walking towards the bathroom in a mall with someone, a quick email………. All of these minute moments that can transform a person’s life! And of course, on top of the regular fees people pay to get a structured personalized coaching.
And so…. Last night, my ‘new’ housemates, Kenny, Amrit and I did something unexpected and out of the blue.
If you know about NLP, you would know about the Sensory Preferences or the Submodalities. In my own words, how the world makes sense to you through your 5 senses and the one extra acute sense that you prefer, whether sight, smell or hearing…. So, we gathered at the dining table, to discuss about better ways to bring in the numbers for our event at the end of the month when I opened up the VAK Learning Preference Test on my computer and started letting Kenny & Amrit to attempt to learn about themselves!
At the end of the session, Kenny finally realized that he is extremely visual when it comes to learning and Amrit, extremely auditory when it comes to learning! And they both realized how much it has helped them to eventually understand why one prefers to READ to LEARN, while the other realizes why she is such a SLOW READER!
Now, coming to the end of my little (or not so little) anecdote, if it will liberate you to learn about your learning preference and solve that nagging doubt you have about yourself.
Do the little VAK Learning Preference questions here, and find out if you LEARN best via Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic! Perhaps it will elevate you to understand about yourself a little bit more.
Lastly, I want to thank my incredible housemates who are so like me…. Loving the Peace & Quiet and treasure the Private Sanctuary. -P-E-A-C-E-

Finding my own All Spark!!
I have recently caught the much awaited Transformers 2.
Not once, but TWICE!
That’s HOW MUCH I had been waiting for that. And it was well worth the wait. The plot, action & excitement was well worth every single cent I paid the movie for!
I guess most people would comment that Transformers 2 was simply great. Or perhaps the more astute fans would notice that Megan Fox looks completely different with her newly enhanced a-la ‘Angelina Jolie’ lips..

I for one, after the initial excitment and intense satisfaction, went into deep reflection with the learnings I had from the movie.
The ALL SPARK was what gave life to Cybertron. And the great war between the autobots & decepticons was also about the fight for the ALL SPARK. What an incredible piece of ’something’ that can bring life to the robotic race.

Isn’t LIFE about the search for the spark too? How many people out there in the world live their life, wishing and hoping that they have life’s ‘ALL SPARK’ to REALLY begin living, and not merely existing in life.
Beginning about 10 years ago, I begin questionning about the purpose and meaning of my existence. It wasn’t till 6 years ago that I begin to feel the spark of life. NOW, this life’s ALL SPARK in my life has become crystal clear. I too would fight every war in my life to own and live with my very own ALL SPARK.
Watching Transformers has helped intensified my passion towards treasuring my life’s SPARK and I vowed to make full use of my life to help people around me to find their very own ALL SPARK too. Thus, the reason for Life Mastery Retreat. …. a Program dedicated to helping one find their very own ALL SPARK. www.lifemasteryretreat.com
Till my next post, find your own ALL SPARK too, my friends. Love, Light & Hugs………

Everybody knows I am an Absolute Dog Lover
Everybody knows I’m a HUGE & ABSOLUTE Dog Lover… Be it a Dog movie, a Dog book, a passing Doggie, a Doggie shop that sells any kinds of doggie accessories… I’m the greatest sucker for them all!

So you would know before Marley & Me, the movie was released. I would have pounced on the novel itself the first moment it’s ON the shelf (I’d have grabbed it BEFORE it hit the shelves if I knew how)…. and I read it cover to cover 3 times in a row, not to mention the many times I bawled my eyes red when Marley died, or laughed like a silly idiot when it came to his unbelievable antics!
Would you believe I actually have dreams about dogs! It must be those times I had slept & gone to Doggie Heaven! And wow… what dreams……. Doggie Heaven….. can I go there when I pass on?
And now… why this silly blog post…… a friend shared this video with me lately, and it made me laughed so hard. I’d want a dog that’s smart like this one… Enjoy friends!

What the *BLEEP* do Goals mean to me?
Yeah, you got me right. What the *BLEEP* do Goals really mean to me?
Just about 4 years back, Birthdays began to mean something else to me. It was on that very day that I think I grew up from a little girl to somewhat of a bigger girl now….. ^^

Birthdays used to be week long celebrations with various groups of friends in various dining galore & on a more wicked note, assigning the various groups to buy me different objects of desire so that I don’t end up getting the same unwanted beauties…… or ridding my dearest friends the headaches they would otherwise have (or so I rightfully thought).
And so…… eversince I grew up (actually grew up) 4 years back, Birthdays begin to be a mean checklist of how much more I had grown in the last 12 months! And when I face the checklist of Goals & Accomplishments, I had to do the REAL *REALITY CHECK*

I would tick the Goals I had achieved, and highlight those I had freakingly forgotten…. and work with the NEW list for the next 12 months. In the beginning, there isn’t much to tick of course, and *boy!*…… the next 12 months would suddenly take on a different meaning for me! I’m like this whole *NEW* person! I can’t wait for the sun to rise just so I can get my ass movin’………. and when I feel sorta depressed, I’ll whip out that checklist & feel the POWER surge through me like a powered up Generator! Man…that ‘high’ was exhilarating!
Yesterday I did my favorite program, the Blue Print of Life… yeap, the Blue Print of my life where I would set the goals in all 8 areas of my life for Holistic growth…. and when I went through the list of reasons why Goals are POWERFUL. I ticked the 3 that meant the MOST to me!
- Goals give POWER to the Spirit ==> Ooh yeah, it fuels me like a smooth operator!
- Goals offer us DEEP MEANING to our Lives ==> I said I grew up, didn’t I?
- Goals give PURPOSE to every day Activity ==> I can’t wait for the sun to rise so as to JUMP out of bed to start the day!
Here’s the rest of the list….. Go On… You do the checklist too… Find out what the *BLEEP* Goals would mean to you.
- Give Vision, Optimism, Hope & Direction
- Give Power to the Spirit
- Make the Impossible Come True
- Move us Easily over our Limits
- Remind Us of our Potentials
- Help us turn our Imagination into Reality
- Offer us DEEP Meaning to our Lives
- Are Pictures of our Desires
- Are concerned with Both the Present & the Future
- Are affected by Potential, not Limits
- Get rid of our Self-Imposed limitations
- Are NOT Limited by what we can or cannot do
- Are the Starting Point of a Journey
- Can Begin at Childhood and Refuse to go away
- Give PURPOSE to Every Day Activity
- Exploit the Kingdom within
- Are Bigger than LIFE
- Give Purpose to LIFE
- Are what we REALLY want, NOT just what we think we can get
- Goal is the Servant of the Dream

Leave a Legacy, Live a Life
Life is God’s Gift to us, Style is what we make of it.
We don’t really have a say about coming to this world. I mean, when we first arrive into this world, aren’t most of us bawling our lungs out? So let us be grateful and admit that our Life is indeed God’s Gift to us………
What about Life Style? Our way of living is entirely up to us to decide. We can choose to live exactly how we want our lives to be, that is IF we set out to think about how we REALLY want to live. If we just leave life to chances, then chances are…. our lives ain’t gonna be much to talk about.
Imagine…. you are a 10year old, sitting in a classroom and your teacher just asked you to write a 300 words essay about your GREAT grandfather/ grandmother. Now, what would you write about? Do you know them? Do you even know what their names were?
Now, if you haven’t the faintest idea who your great grandparents are… CAN YOU IMAGINE, your Great Grandkids have NO FREAKING IDEA what kind of a person you have been. Can you imagine yourself, standing in front of your great grandkid, an invisible ghost of the past………..and your heart cried out to tell him/her about the great things you had once done, the things you had learnt from life and wish you could just share with that little one. And there is NO WAY he or she will ever know.
It’s sad…. isn’t it? To have lived a great life and no one knows, to have made mistakes in this lifetime and learnt a great deal and couldn’t share with your future generations. You know what’s worse? They don’t even know our names. Does it mean our lives mean NOTHING to them?
Start thinking about how you can leave a legacy for them, start thinking about how you can begin to chronicle your life’s journey and all the wonderful anecdotes for all your future generations to come. Start writing your Life Journal. Begin today…….. so with little baby steps, begin leaving a legacy for the generations …. let them know about you, about your life, about what kind of a person you have been… let them know how WONDERFUL you really are.
Go on… any ideas, thoughts, quotations, inspiring moments, things you had learnt, philosophies you had picked up…. chronicle them. Before you leave Planet Earth, compile them and self publish your Life’s Chronicles….. and leave your Legacy…………
Live your Life…. Leave a Legacy………………… Start yout Life Journal Today.

Don’t Worry Be Happy!!
What on Earth would Worry serve?

A friend sent an article to me & after reading it, I went utterly quiet for quite a while & reflected deeply…
Here’s the article…(extracted from ‘Eliminate Worry‘ by Bob Proctor)… alittle long, but WOW! It’s so POWERFUL!
Everyone gets the same amount of time every day. We get all there is: 24 hours, 1,440 minutes. So, with time being such a precious commodity, why is it that so many of us spend our days worrying? Worry has almost become a national pastime for most. I suppose that if we had a contract to live for a lifetime, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. But we don’t. We just have now.
Some of you may be reading this and thinking, “Yeah, he probably doesn’t have anything to worry about.” But that’s not true. I have plenty to worry about. I just choose not to. And I’d like to suggest that you follow suit and resolve right now, as you read this article, that you are not going to invest even one of those 1,440 minutes worrying—about anything.
Clearly understand, there isn’t any situation that isn’t made worse by worry. Worry never solves anything. Worry never prevents anything. Worry never heals anything. Worry serves only one purpose: It makes matters worse. How? Well, quite simply, when you’re focused on worrying about something, you’ll never be able to focus on a solution. Be aware that your mind cannot focus on two things at the same time; it can either focus on the current situation and worry, or it can find a solution. The choice is always yours.
James Kurtz said, “If we worry, we don’t trust. If we trust, we don’t worry. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its grief, but it does empty today of its joy.”
If you have been worrying about something or someone, you can eliminate that worry through displacement. Let its positive opposite crowd it out of your mind and then follow through with constructive action. Everything in the universe has an opposite, even your worries.
You could be worried about not having sufficient time to do some of the important things you have to do today. The truth is you do have enough time if you are willing to give up something else. The busiest person you know, yourself included, would have time to go downtown and pick up a check if you won a lottery. You might neglect doing something else to make the time, but trust me, you would get the check.
When a worrisome thought occupies your attention, choose the positive opposite to the thought, and focus your attention on that. No one is without problems; they are a part of living. But let me show you how much time we waste in worrying about the wrong problems. Here are some figures I picked up years ago, and I think they’re just as valid today as they were when I came upon them. Here is a reliable estimate of the things people worry about.
Things that never happen—40%;
Things over and in the past that can’t be changed by all the worry in the world—30%;
Needless worries about our health—12%;
Petty, miscellaneous worries—10%; and
Real, legitimate worries—8%.
In short, 92 percent of the average person’s worries take up valuable time, cause painful stress—even mental anguish—and, for the most part, are unnecessary. Remember what Dr. Kurtz said, “Worry empties today of its joy.” Don’t worry, be happy!
That’s right.. my friends. The ONLY time you have NO more worries is when you are 6 feet underground. Be GRATEFUL that you have problems to excite your life.

The Amazing Napoleon Hill

Dr. Napoleon Hill’s Think & Grow Rich has changed the lives of many people. Many great men had credited their Success to Dr. Napoleon Hill’s work. In all our workshops & classes, Think & Grow Rich is a book that we had stipulated as a COMPULSORY read.
Dr. Napoleon Hill’s life was greatly influenced by Andrew Carnegie, the FIRST billionaire industralist who was then one of the MOST powerful man in the World! Andrew Carnegie commissioned Dr. Napoleon Hill without pay & providing him with ONLY letters of reference to interview the TOP 500 Most Successful men & women in America to chronicle the FORMULA for SUCCESS.
Many of you would already know, Dr Napoleon Hill went on to spend 20 years of his life & dedicated it to finding the Formula for SUCCESS. What I had personally find extremely inspiring is when Hill asked Andrew Carnegie what would he survive on during his research work since he would NOT be paid a single cent. Carnegie had replied him that since he is looking for the Formula for SUCCESS, he can apply the Formula for himself & be able to survive. When Hill questioned what if the Formula didn’t work? Carnegie had replied him as a matter of factly that he would then KNOW it is NOT the right Formula for Succeess!!
====> WOW!! That blew my mind at how dedicate Dr. Napoleon Hill was to have dedicated 20 years of his life without a single cent to chronicle the Formula for SUCCESS, so that all future generations can benefit from his work!!!
I would like to share the MOST POWERFUL learning I have had from Hill’s work. It’s extracted from Page 36 of Think & Grow Rich: 6 Steps to turn Desires into Gold
Step 1: fixed in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It isn’t enough to say, “I want lots of money” but to be definite with the amount.
Step 2: determine what you intend to give in return for that money.
Step 3: establish the definite date when you intend to have the money in your possession.
Step 4: create a definite plan for making your desired amount happen, and begin at once—whether you are ready or not—to put your plan into action.
Step 5: write out a clear statement of the amount of money to acquire, name your time limit for it’s acquisition, write down what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan you are following to accumulate it.
Step 6: read your written statement out loud, twice daily, once just before going to bed at night, and again after rising up in the morning. As you read—see and feel and believe that you are already in possession of the money.
Because of his great work, Dr Napoleon Hill received 57 Honarary Doctorates because of his life’s Dedication to the Success of Mankind.
Thank you, Dr. Napoleon Hill!

Sharing the 17 Principles of Personal Achievement by Napoleon Hill

A friend had shared this with me & I find it an amazing short cut to Life’s Secret Success Code: Here’s for you to enjoy. I had compiled the questionnaire of how you can also calculate your SUCCESS Ruler! Stay tuned and come back for a visit tomorrow!
17 Principles of Personal Achievement by Napoleon Hill
Lesson 1: Definiteness of Purpose
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Without a purpose and a plan, people drift aimlessly through life.
Lesson 2: Mastermind Alliance
The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective. Success does not come without the cooperation of others.
Lesson 3: Applied Faith
Faith is a state of mind through which your aims, desires, plans and purposes may be translated into their physical or financial equivalent.
Lesson 4: Going the Extra Mile
Going the extra mile is the action of rendering more and better service than that for which you are presently paid. When you go the extra mile, the Law of Compensation comes into play.
Lesson 5: Pleasing Personality
Personality is the sum total of one’s mental, spiritual and physical traits and habits that distinguish one from all others. It is the factor that determines whether one is liked or disliked by others.
Lesson 6: Personal Initiative
Personal initiative is the power that inspires the completion of that which one begins. It is the power that starts all action. No person is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own.
Lesson 7: Positive Mental Attitude
Positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. Success attracts more success while failure attracts more failure.
Lesson 8: Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is faith in action. It is the intense emotion known as burning desire. It comes from within, although it radiates outwardly in the expression of one’s voice and countenance.
Lesson 9: Self-Discipline
Self-discipline begins with the mastery of thought. If you do not control your thoughts, you cannot control your needs. Self-discipline calls for a balancing of the emotions of your heart with the reasoning faculty of your head.
Lesson 10: Accurate Thinking
The power of thought is the most dangerous or the most beneficial power available to man, depending on how it is used.
Lesson 11: Controlled Attention
Controlled attention leads to mastery in any type of human endeavor, because it enables one to focus the powers of his mind upon the attainment of a definite objective and to keep it so directed at will.
Lesson 12: Teamwork
Teamwork is harmonious cooperation that is willing, voluntary and free. Whenever the spirit of teamwork is the dominating influence in business or industry, success is inevitable. Harmonious cooperation is a priceless asset that you can acquire in proportion to your giving.
Lesson 13: Adversity & Defeat
Individual success usually is in exact proportion of the scope of the defeat the individual has experienced and mastered. Many so-called failures represent only a temporary defeat that may prove to be a blessing in disguise.
Lesson 14: Creative Vision
Creative vision is developed by the free and fearless use of one’s imagination. It is not a miraculous quality with which one is gifted or is not gifted at birth.
Lesson 15: Health
Sound health begins with a sound health consciousness, just as financial success begins with a prosperity consciousness.
Lesson 16: Budgeting Time & Money
Time and money are precious resources, and few people striving for success ever believe they possess either one in excess.
Lesson 17: Habits
Developing and establishing positive habits leads to peace of mind, health and financial security. You are where you are because of your established habits and thoughts and deeds.
Stay tuned and return for the SUCCESS RULER meansurement Questionaire tomorrow!
Have FUN!! And Live with PURPOSE!!

Learning to BREATHE for Health
Breathing…something that’s Automatic for us… is the Answer to alot of problems we have.

Breathing is essential to LIFE. Proper breathing is an antidote to stress. It is through proper breathing that our blood is purified of waste products, infused with oxygen, and purged of carbon dioxide. Cells deprived of oxygen contributes to anxiety, depression, fatigue or generically an environment that is conducive for cells to mutate. Or simply, making it many times more difficult for us to cope with stressful situations.
Proper breathing habits not ONLY are ESSENTIAL for good MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH but also key to relaxing effectively. When you are faced with a anxiety causing or a nerve-wrecking situation, just by breathing DEEP & PROPER would INSTANTLY ease your mental & physical state.
Breathing Exercises have been found to be amazingly EFFECTIVE in elevating Life’s Undesirable situations….
Here you go… some basic SIMPLE steps to BREATHE your way to better Mental & Physical Health:
————————————————————————————————————————–
1) Sit up straight with knees bent 90 deg on a hard-backed chair & feet placed flat on the floor.
2) Slowly breath in through your nose, counting 1 – 4 as you do so….
==> As you breathe in, imagine a balloon inside your abdomen beginning to be filled with air.
3) Hold your breath in, counting 1 – 4 as you do so…. & keeping the air inside your imaginary balloon in your abdomen.
4) Exhale slowly, through your mouth, counting 1 - 4 as you do so…. imagining the air from your balloon slowly deflating, your abdomen going inwards.
5) Hold your breath, counting 1 – 4 as you do so…
6) Repeat the steps again at least 4 – 8 times. [Breathe in -- Hold -- Exhale -- Hold, each to the count of 4]

The principal who truly INSPIRES!
When was the last time you meet a Principal who takes your breath away?
I had forgotten how principals of schools play an important role in shaping the young minds of our future generations. So much focus had been given to Teachers, and songs of praise had been sung about teachers for hundreds of years and people have almost forgotten that Principals LEAD the schools into the direction that they had planned and strategised to move the school towards!

Just 2 weeks ago, the team and I were in Bahau, a little town where there are more indians than any other race to conduct a POWER Secrets of Accelerated Learning Workshop for students to equip them with Whole Brain Learning techniques to pass their upcoming exams with greater ease.
And it was this little workshop that brought me to a chance meeting with a Principal who truly Inspires!!
Sitting right in the FIRST seat of the FRONT row was this respected gentleman with a stern look but not without deep passionate eyes. Having been introduced to him, and thus knowing that he is the principal of the school – Mr Param, I hold him in GREAT respect that he would take the time out of his very busy work schedule to attend a workshop by someone he has barely heard of (coming from the little Bahau town). I know you must be wondering why should I be surprised with a principal attending a workshop to know more…. Believe me, many principals we have met in our course of work would find it hard to pull themselves out from their hectic work schedules to sit in a classroom for more than 1hour!!!
For the first 4 hours, Mr Param sat in absolute rapt attention, quietly absorbing EVERY ESSENCE of what Master Coach DEV was sharing about the Mind. And as the hour moves on, I grew increasingly more and more impressed with this humble man who thinks that he has everything to learn!
But the BIG BANG only came when Mr Param invited me to his lovely and cozy office to join him for lunch that I came to appreciate how BIG a principal he truly is.
A teacher of 30 years, Mr Param has only the welfare of the students at heart. He went at length with a close friend to conduct surveys after surveys at his own time and cost to find out why the Indian students were doing so badly in school…. and it was from his relentless effort that he discovered that more than 90% of the Indian students had gone to school WITHOUT taking breakfast of any kind! God knows how the students can excel if they come to school without any form of brain food. And Mr Param fought to bring FREE breakfast to students in as many schools as he can manage!
That was already a HUGE WOW for me! And that’s not where Mr Param’s kindness stopped! He went into a joint project with a doctor friend to give FREE vitamins and supplements to students so that they can improve on their nourishment!! If this hasn’t WOWed you yet, wait till you hear more about this amazing Mr Param!
Mr Param firmly believes that it is EVERY TEACHER’s role to Inspire the Students, to make them believe that they can ACHIEVE whatever they set their hearts out to achieve. And Mr Param was greatly saddened that teachers today are NO LONGER the same as how he once was when he was a teacher.
Mr Param believes greatly that if the teachers have lost faith in what they could do, it is only right that students lost faith in themselves too. And so he believes he needs to FIRST invest in ALL his teachers (all 70 of them!!) by helping them discover their PURPOSE again, by helping them to fuel up their PASSION again, by working with the teachers first that they are the ones who FIRST must BELIEVE in themselves, BELIEVE in the students, BELIEVE in Education.
For a good 30mins, Mr Param spoke with his heart, his eyes ablazed with deep passion about his BELIEF that in just 2 or 3 years time, that he MUST iNsPiRE the teachers, so that they can find the Passion to iNsPiRE the students. It is NO WONDER that Mr Param is nominated to win The Best Principal of the Year Award this month!
I left the room greatly humbled, deeply inspired & wholeheartedly impressed. Mr Param, I Bless You deeply for your passion and belief, and I will do whatever it takes to help in any way that I can.
I’ll see you again really soon….. Mr Inspiring Param!

Are you sophisticated enough?
What really is Sophistication?
Dearest friends,
As I cross the line that marks the mid 30s, I know that the 20s will remain as sweet memories as I step boldly ahead to embrace more of life’s challenges. And as I advance more towards life, I begin to EMBRACE dearly the 30s, knowing full well that the 40s would mean that I would need to grasp the true concept of poise, grace & now….. the key word ‘Sophistication’.As I ponder what Sophistication truly means, and wonder if the iconic ladies in ‘Sex and the City‘ somehow can be described with those very words I am trying hard to grasp.

I wonder with a little bit of awe, and a little bit of puzzle…. Are the ladies in ‘Sex and the City’ anywhere near having absolute Poise & Grace or are they ‘Sophistication’ personified?
Well, I’m not exactly into labels & brands kinda gal. So I wonder where do I even fit on the scale of the very words I’m dying to grasp….. The Scale of Poise, Grace & Sophistication.
And as one wonders, one gets the answers…
Earlier today, I chanced upon this amazing article from Jim Rohn that speaks about ta-da!!!! ‘SOPHISTICATION’
Wooo… I shall not mention how my hair stood at the uncanny timeliness of the article… talk about activating the Law of Attraction…
The article on ‘Sophistication’ gave me a really good inkling about how I can embrace Sophistication gracefully and I can’t help but would like to share this with all the mid 30s out there… Yoo-hoo, let us form the Power mid 30s Sophisticated Ladies Club… Ooh-la-la…
Sophistication ~ by Jim Rohn
Most people are just trying to get through the day. Sophisticated people learn how to get from the day.
Sophistication is understanding the difference between trinkets and treasures.
Don’t spend major money on minor things. In the last ten years the guy has bought two tons of donuts and only two books—and the books are primarily filled with pictures.
Sophisticated people don’t leave early. The man says, “Yeah, but I want to beat the traffic.” Isn’t that a great skill to have—beating the traffic!
It doesn’t take a million dollars to learn the difference between a bottle of fine wine and a Pepsi. Sophistication is a study, not an amount.
One of the early signs of sophistication is not giving way to all inclinations but rather sending your emotions to school so they will learn how to behave.
Money doesn’t make you sophisticated. Only study and practice make you sophisticated. Even people of modest means can become sophisticated because it is within study and practice. How much is a night out at the symphony? About thirty dollars. You say, “Poor people can’t afford thirty dollars to go to the symphony.” Yes, they can. It’s only thirty Hershey bars!
We must teach our children not to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your money a dollar at a time, you’ll wind up with trinkets instead of treasures. You can’t buy much of value a dollar at a time.
There you are… the full article on ‘Sophistication’ by Jim Rohn. And now I get it…. Sophistication is Poise, Sophistication is managing emotions & be really graceful at all times. Sophistication can be STUDIED and PRACTISED.
And so, this article marks the beginning of a Journey for me… a Journey which takes me to the Wonderland of Poise & Grace as I study and practise the art of Sophistication. And I shall bravely venture into the path of the 40s…… in Sophisticated Style….

Tips to finding a Mentor or Life Coach
Dearest friends,
The formula to SUCCESS in Life isn’t really that difficult. I can sum it up in simple 3 steps:
1) Be Willing to PAY to LEARN
2) Believe in CONTINUOUS LEARNING
3) Engage a LIFE COACH (or Mentor) to get tips to go the route of least resistence to SUCCESS

Finding a Mentor or Life Coach is an IMPORTANT mission. You start off seeking for your Mentor or Life Coach by doing the MOST IMPORTANT thing in your life FIRST. Many people do not even got this done and they are going around hunting for a Life Coach….. Sad, but true!
FIRST STEP – VERY VERY IMPORTANT if not MOST Important:
Decide what your life’s GOALS are, both professionally & in your personal life
Choosing Your Mentor or Life Coach:
Check out people who ALREADY have experience reaching goals that you desire. For their experiences can be your sacred guide.
Check out if your mentor has that history of Successes. For example, a Business Mentor, this person would need to have a history of Business Successes.
Or you can choose a mentor who have overcome similar obstacles that you are facing now. Seeing this mentor today is like seeing what you want to be. This coach has arrived at where you want to go.
Of course, you can choose a historical person, such as Napoleon Hill or Benjamin Franklin or an author, educators or artists as your role model, mentor or coach or perhaps even someone who is still very much alive, but you do not know him/ her yet. Whichever the case, you would need to make an effort to read and know EVERYTHING he/ she has said or written. REALLY become a student of this person’s work.
Many people admire celebrities. Well, you would need to ask if this person has the values or belief system that you would want to emulate.
Lastly, it would be great if you can find a mentor or life Coach you can actually enjoy having conversations with, or bounce ideas together with.
Have Fun attracting that Mentor or Life Coach of yours into your life. It is vital to have a Life Coach if you deem SUCCESS vital in your life.
You have got to WANT SUCCESS as much as you need to Breathe to keep Alive. ====> Live with PURPOSE.

WOW! I did it!!
I wish Britney Spears had sung ‘WOW! I did it again!’ instead of ‘Oops….’
For months I had wanted to be up by 5:30am, by depending on my bio-clock instead of the alarm….. to do the one thing that I know will give me Inner Peace for my being & Clarity towards my Goals…… Creative Breath Meditation.
Yeah! I had yearned with so much desire, spoken with people about how much I want to cultivate that discipline to be awake by 5:30am to meditate! And yet, in the last few months, I have had more 7am morings than my truly desired 5:30am mornings…. Nevertheless, I had bravely encouraged myself that 7am mornings are still great for Meditation…. ‘Oh Jaq, don’t be so hard on yourself…‘ I would happily chirp to myself in front of the mirror.
I have this one friend, a special one indeed who wakes up every morning at 6am to run. And he literally feels lousy if he misses ONE day! God! He is such an InSpiRatIon to me! And everyday, I ask myself what pushes a man to such great discipline…………
And so.. last night, I drifted off to sleep with this vivid image of myself waking up automatically, consciously at 5:30am with that image of me aroused from sleep and peeping at time which says 5:30am….. and with that image, I dozed off soundly….
And amazingly, the scene that I had imagined the night before came about like a deja vu when i did exactly the SAME this morning …. at 5:30am! WOW! I was so thrilled…
5:30am —- I meditated…
6:30am —- I powered on the comp to check my emails
7:00am —- I had my breakfast of Muesli & Yogurt & a big bowl of fresh greens
8:00am —- I am at my blog, telling the whole world… ‘WOW! I did it again!’
So dearest friends, what I would love to share with you is that you CAN trust your Unconscious Mind to be your Bio-Clock. I did it and I know I will be able to do it again tomorrow and the day after and so forth.
If you want to stretch that Bio-clock muscle within you. Do the same….
[1] Know clearly in your Mind what you want to do/ achieve by waking up at a certain time.
[2] Mentally visualize and see yourself waking up at exactly that time and going about your planned activity with fervour and energy.
[3] Tell yourself.. ‘ I trust my Unconscious Mind to wake me up automatically at 5:30am (fill in the time you want) so that I can meditate (fill in the activity you want). Thank You!’
Go on…. tell me if you managed to ‘Do It’ too? Let us say together, ‘WOW! I did it again!’ with great joy! ==> Live with PURPOSE my dearest friends. I love you!!
