CLARITY makes your dreams come true FASTER!

So, have you done your CONTRAST as you were instructed to do in the last post?

If NOT, then, please go and do that 1st. You have no place on these pages that follow...

For those who have done their contrast, or made their complaints through their writing instrument, read on!

For the CLARITY exercise, I want you to take and A4 or fullscap paper and draw a line right down the middle. From top to bottom.

On the left column, write 'CONTRAST' and on the right, write 'CLARITY'

Now, list everything you wrote in point form (1, 2, 3,...a, b, c. It doesn't matter)

Once done, for everything on you list, write out the CLARITY solution that you want.

Example:

If one of your CONTRAST is, 'I am in debt!' Your CLARITY solution should be, 'I am Financially Independent and Free!'

Or, if one of your CONTRAST is, 'I am fat!' Then, your CLARITY solution should be, 'I am Fit, healthy and my weight is IDEAL for me!'

This is how your CONTRAST to CLARITY page should look like...

Success is in Doing Well in What You Do Best!

What Do You Do Now?
Do you work at a job?
Do you run your own business?
Or, are you in between? I.e. working on your own time, representing a company or a brand like an insurance or unit trust company.

Are you happy with the results that you are getting?

If there was anything you could just change with a snap of the finger, what would it be?

Often it is said that the difference between great success and just getting by, is a very small addition in activity.

I am sure that you have heard that the difference between the mediocre salesperson and the award winning sales person is by just 1 more phone made by the award winner just before he leaves for home.

I am sure the story of the horse that wins the race by a NOSE is also widely told! And the winning horse's purse is in manifolds larger that the horse that took the 2nd place.

So, if it takes only soooo little for you to achieve EXTRA ORDINARY SUCCESS, why don't everyone do that little bit more and enjoy the success they sooo rightfully deserve?

Ask yourself these questions. Then, sit down somewhere where you are comfortable and at peace and think...and I mean REALLY THINK, of the answers...

1. Are you truly excited about what you are doing now?
2. Why are you excited?
3. Are the benefits in line with what you truly enjoy doing?
4. If it is NOT in line, in an ideal world, what could you be doing now that would make your results be in lined with what you enjoy?
5. If you truly enjoy what you are doing, are you the best in the industry?
6. If NOT, why not? What do you lack? What could you do to become the best in the industry?

Gather all the answers... We will go into case studies in the next posting.

Have a Fun day! Do what you love and Enjoy your life!

Laziness is the #1 cause for not achieving success in Life!

CONTRAST AND CLARITY...

From my last post, you will see those two words. I learnt if from reading The Law of Attraction book by Michael Losier and then from his trainers in Malaysia.

It is such an easy and simple exercise that many many of you readers will just 'pandang dengan mata sebelah' or in direct translation to the English language, 'look with one eye'. What it means is, you won't take it seriously AT ALL.

CONTRAST: This means knowing what you don't want and don't like.

Take time off NOW! Go have a coffee at a comfortable place, away from distractions. (I would urge you to do this even if you are currently working now)

Make sure you have a some writing instruments with you. It can be electronic or old school. Whatever makes YOU comfortable.

Once you have found the ideal place to get into real thinking, START!

Start thinking of what you don't like about your life. Make a list of it.

I am giving you permission to use this time you have set aside to 'Complain'...just keep on complaining about your life. Include your job, your finances, your family, your children, the government, you lack of time etc.

I will be back later to tell you what to do with this list. ( Don't worry! It won't be a smarty pants come back to ask you to throw that list away) I will guide and help you on how you can find YOUR clarity. And live the life you dream of.

Between CONTRAST & CLARITY

CONTRAST: what you DON'T want CLARITY: what you want Focus ONLY on what you want... Stay tuned! Nature gives you ALL that you NEED to achieve ALL that you WANT! Recognize that!

Just something to add to my morning article

During the Great Depression, John D. Rockefeller proclaimed, "These are days when many are discouraged. In the 93 years of my life, depressions have come and gone. Prosperity has always returned and will again."

Today's Market...if complications could kill

Worried about your investments? Got money but, do not know where to put it? Seems like we are caught in a roundabout? A cycle of bad news that lead to more bad news. If these questions are somewhat troubling you, read on!

"Financial Institutions taking a plunge... Lehman Brothers... Merrill Lynch... now even the great RBS.... Subprime issue... housing market plunging too... Malaysia is politically unstable, yes it is, no it is not, yest it is..."get it?

So, What else can go wrong?

Is the media and the market trying to have us believe that we are heading for a terrible terrible recession or what? Why the focus on all the bad news?

That's the key question there, why the focus on all the bad news? How come it seems like it seems to pour when it drizzles? :D

Is it really the subprime or is it just a group of people high above the normal society who is orchestrating all this.

How does a USD 456 plus billion subprime issue effect the biggest economy in the world? You tell me.

According to numbers I have from 2006, the subprime market then stood at USD 456 Billion. The loan market on the whole was USD 2.4 Trillion. Mathematically, the subprime issue then, was only about one sixth of the housing loan cake. Are you telling me that in 2 years, now being 2008, there was a sudden growth that made the subprime the larger portion than the normal loans? Now, we are talking about the loan of the whole country, here. Let's look at Lehman Brothers... That's another joke! Did ALL the subrime loans go to them? If it did, then, serves them right, but logically, by using only half your thinking power, would a committee or a board (I really don;t know how they approve loans in the US) have let your financial institution take on so much risk without proper back ups or guarantees?

So? Should you worry? Yes, you should, if you invested with money you needed almost immediately.

Are we heading for uncharted waters with the current market scenario? Is this the worst it has ever been? Let me help you put things into perspective.

In the 1930's, the world went through something. It was and is called, "The Great Depression". The whole world was in recession and everyone then thought the world as they knew it was at its end. People would farm for themselves and businesses collapsed. Riots happened everywhere. Here are some facts:

The DOW was down 89%
Unemployment was at 25%
Bank Implosion stood at about 1400 institutions
Homes foreclosures was as high as 20%

Compared to today's figures? YOU tell me because, if you did not know and were still worried about it, it does say loads about yourself, doesn't it? (Someone who loves worrying and could go into the worry mode at the drop of a hat :D) Do some research! Look for yourself at www.finance .yahoo.com...Only one site ma.... ( Sorry the chinese in me just kicked in :D)

In Conclusion:

Those who decide to take part in the recession, if there is one, will be part of the recession, but there will be a some of us who will decide not to let the recession bring us down. The latter will be those who position themselves for the big windfall when the market comes back up or when the situation improves. These are the millionaires of the future, the Fortune Makers. These would have been the peole who were said to be at the right place at the right time.

As Warren Buffet said, "When the market is greedy, be fearful. When the market is fearful, be greedy!"

Investment success is always about successfully managing your emotions. Whichever investment consultant is with you during this 'bad-times' is the one you should keep forever. They are hard to come by.

My Believe:

Human beings are resilient. We have made it through the worst of situations and come out winners. We can only triumph when we think correctly. Think positively. Think in a certain way.


My final take:

1. Stay invested! Doesn't make good business sense to buy high and then sell low. And, if you are investing in Unit Trust, by selling now, you are helping in the weakening of the fund you are currently invested in by forcing the fund managers to sell what they have now at a much lower price than when they bought it.
2. Start buying! Keep Buying! What do you think Warren Buffet's doing now? Do you think he has bought high and will be selling low?
3. Stay away from ANY business media! Especially if you panic easily, for these are bearers of bad news
4. Revert to basics when it comes to investment! Primarily, invest only with excess funds and manage your emotions or get an investment coach to help you do that.
5. Don't put your money in the bank for 'Safe-Keeping'! Think of inflation. Can the bank pay you more than the national average inflation rate? There are many legal vehicles out there that pays about 12% guaranteed and 20% almost guaranteed per year. ( :D I am contactable through my email) That's above the inflation rate for most countries.
6. Don't tie up your all your money in any above-3-years capital guaranteed programs: The guarantee is going to cost you in the long run.
7. Don't put all your eggs into one basket:

Life Changing Articles Only If You Want Them To Be

Set Goals, know your dreams, how can you have a dream come true if you don't first have a dream, before you start on a journey you must know your destination....

I call these, 'Cliches for Achievement'.

Over used as they are for most people in the world, these cliches have helped lead me through some of the toughest times my family and I have ever gone through.

I could have become one of the many others who found these cliches as redundant and, for some, even to the point for being irritating, but thank...God, Allah, Heavenly Father, Jehovah, The Universe, The First Force or what ever label you have given to the greatest creative force, that I did not. In fact I found that these phrases came to me in the most opportune times and in the most unthinkable places for the circumstance that I was in.

In these pages, I will unfold and introduce steps to improve all your lives through stories and how-to articles. My sharing will cover as many segments of your lives as possible. Segments like Wealth including finance and investments, Health, Happiness, God, Relationship and many more.

I hope that you will find these pages very useful to you and your loved ones.

I am very open to feedbacks and criticism if you must. Bear in mind that there is NOTHING that is not meant to me to see, hear or know about that will reach me.

God's Gift To Us is LIFE, What Our Gift Back To GOD is LIFESTYLE...What we make of the life that was given to us.

Let me finally bid you a warm welcome to the rest of your life. My gift to you is a gift of Information. What you do with it is totally up to you.
