Do you have a strong thought process? What is a strong thought process?
A strong thought process actually comes from something known as "the differential".
What is "the differential"? In fact, there is nothing wrong with all that we have studied and learnt up to this stage in life. The main thing, and most important thing is, what determines our outlook in life? This is where "the differential" comes about.
Positivity can only come about if, there is a deliberate program to think positive. Negativity, on the other hand is automatic. Do allow me to quote an example: If you buy a piece of land, and you do nothing with it, what happens to it? Weeds grow! You do not have to buy weed seeds to plant the weeds, they just grow! It is just automatic, and unless you have a deliberate program to think positive, then chances are that you are automatically negative. And yes, I am sorry, really sorry about it,but whichever school you went to or what profession you are in, who you are and stuff, you are automatically negative. If you sit in front of the television and read newspapers, sorry! You are automatically negative. It does not take a genius to figure that out. So what helps to activate the positive thinking program? Motivational audios, books, seminars and also a platform to actually apply that to. How do you increase the positive in you? Simple. Stop the negative going in into you via your ears, mouth and brain. Cap the negative, and start putting in so much positive that you dilute the negative. Here is where "the differential" comes in. If the positivity in you is much much greater compared to the negativity in you, then congratulations! You have a huge Positive differential! But what if that differential goes the other way round?
There is actually no secret to that. You can do self-talk to yourself! Why? The nearest source of sound that we hear actually does not come from others, but from our own mouth! Are you aware of that? Our mouth has the power of life and death, and if we speak the right words we uplift not only others but ourselves as well! What if you start telling yourself today that you are the best in your field of work? What if you repeat telling yourself the same thing over and over again? Over time, it becomes something that is called "belief". If since young you believe that you are not good at something, the good news is that you can change that belief. You just have to repeat in telling yourself that you are the best in your field (your work, business etc etc) and over time, accumulatively the belief that you had in yourself that you are not good at something will eventually come to be diluted because of the constant selftalk you are doing to yourself, coupled with the other forms of "education" like audios, books & seminars that you invest in and attend. And since it has become your belief with constant repetition of self-talk, this positive belief will still be in you, only to get stronger and stronger with each of the tests that comes along in life.
I trust that this article will go some way in helping you to adopt a stronger thought process, and that you will be stronger as a result of this. Positivity is a byproduct of the stronger thought process! Change the way you talk to yourself, and you change the way you think about yourself. Change the way you think about yourself and you change the way you look at yourself. When you change about the way you look at yourself..you do not know who the next person you touch in life is, and how he/she will benefit from a better you! Fight and go for it! Cheers!

Something To Share
"No man can tell what the future may bring forth, and small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises"
"Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement"
"Successful people takes failure gracefully and learns from it"
"Level of success depends on the degree of amount of changes you are willing to make"
"The greatest achievement a person can get from the pursuit of excellence is not what they get in the end, but what they become in process"
"Success is the process of achieving a worthwhile goal, and once you stop accomplishing the process stops"

What Is Your Choice?
No one will ever know how long it will take for a person to switch from the mindset of an employee to the mindset of a business owner. For some, it will be a short one, because they have either been previously in a conventional business with a certain degree of success, or because they already are in a conventional business, and thus will be better equipped with the mindset of a business owner to run another business.
Those who take longer (me in particular) will find that they might feel frustrated at times, but still I believe there is nothing in it that says we should give up at a time when such a transformation is going on. Instead, we should persist on in tough times because "tough times do not last, tough people do". In such times, learning should still go on. Those who give up, are because in tough times they do not see the finishing point or fail to recall their own dreams and goals in life. In business, "momentum" is the keyword, and not to forget "patience" & "peseverance".
So, with a lot of distractions & challenges ahead as you and me build our own businesses for our own individual dreams & goals, what will you choose? If you are thinking of giving up, think of what made you build your own business! Do not give up, let us all work hard together to fulfill our dreams & goals in life!
Last but not least, what triggered me to write this post (right now @ 2.45am Singapore time), actually came from a game (Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends) in which a character (Guan Ping) quoted after I completed a game using him: "It is so easy to give in to despair when the future seems closed. All you have to do is believe that you are powerless and lay down your weapon."
To me, my business and my dream, I will have to rephrase it as "It is so easy to give in to despair when the future seems closed. All you have to do is believe that you are powerless and give up on your dreams & goals in life, as well as the opportunity to fulfill them." To me, if I give up such a good chance to fulfill my dreams & goals in life, I will look back in agony, regret, and all the unhappy things that come from the inability to grab hold of a golden opportunity. What about you? I do not know about your dreams, but definitely if you give up a golden opportunity I do believe that you will feel something for it.
So, what is your choice? Patience & Peseverance, or Despair & Dispose? It is your choice, my friend (:

Hello All!
This is not my first post, but first I would like to bring attention, that there are really some nice links to pages that are really awesome.
Are you or anyone around you having health problems? Then it might be worth taking a look in Nutrition A to Z for the answers. The site is from my awesome friend Kenneth, do let him share what he knows with you!
Are you, or anyone interested in acquiring knowledge, that will lead you to success? Knowledge is potential power, but what knowledge is it that I am referring to? The site is done up by my best friend & brother of over a decade (12years on & counting to be exact), Kelvin! So it will be a good idea to pop by and grab some food for the brain in Success Philosophy!

The Vertical Alignment
"Bigger the struggle, sweeter the victory"
The month of December saw a decision being made. A decision between making a breakthrough in business and replacing the fridge at home. It was really hard, but in the end it had to come to a real crunch time. A blessing, will be to use the Vertical Alignment. What is the Vertical Alignment? it goes like this:
Spiritual Faith
Family
Job
Personal Business
The abovementioned shows the Vertical Alignment. A quick explanation: The Spiritual Faith is your own religion (whichever you believe in), Family is our own family, Job is the the current job we are holding, and Personal Business is whatever you have chosen to do. In the Vertical Alignment, it is very important that you get it right especially for the family part and job part. Why is this so?
The family is very important, because it is what we call "home". In it are our parents and siblings, and it is very important to be able to communicate effectively with our families about our dreams and why we are in business. If there is little or no communication, there might be challenges in that our family may not understand it and come to oppose what we are doing. If anything happens within the family, you might find it hard to stay in the business you have chosen to build. Hence the importance in having a peaceful and understanding family through communication and understanding on our own part, that they are important.
Next up, Job. We all know that we are building our businesses for freedom from our job, but why is it that still it is important? Because the pay from the job is required for survival when we build our businesses. It is what will pay our bills, meals and other daily expenses as we build our businesses. Without the paycheck a whole lot of other things will not have been made possible. Hence no matter how tired you are of your job because of the business you are building or investing in, it is still important to be able to get yourself out of bed and to work, because you should always remember that building a business for your freedom is one for the long term, and in the meanwhile still turn up for work as your business continues to grow. A disruption in employment may prove to be a distraction to the business you are building.
So in the end, what was my choice? Buying a new fridge, or a breakthrough in my business? You've got it, it was buying the new fridge! :)
"Bigger the struggle, sweeter the victory" was the opening line to this post, and if you have ready made success, will you treasure it? To me, I would think no, because it is only because of the challenges and struggles in between us and success that truly makes victory sweet to savour!
