  • Learn About Moods and Money

    My moods to attract money are being happy to what I want to have. I love the trick in the book that says “to be grateful when your mood is high and graceful when it low.”

    Have you observed your moods? Do you use it properly?

    When you are in a positive emotions, love, happy, sharing, passionate etc. you’re in a good mood. The energy you have at the moment is so powerful that everybody can feel what it is in you. Try to close a sale or try to start your work and you can deliver well. But when you where in a bad mood, having a feeling and emotions of being sad, frustrated, worried, hate, etc. you can feel yourself lock and it’s hard to move on.

    It’s hard to work in a bad mood

    To share my experience how I use my moods perfectly is when I work. Honestly it’s hard to work in a bad mood. It’s disturbed your mind and freezes you up, and don’t know what to do. While you’re in good mood you can easily figure out what next and you can work very well and efficiently. All possibilities will come up to your mind and you can have abundant of resources.

  • Don’t Deal With Problems, Transcend Them

    I’m about to share my bad habit during High School days especially during exams. Honestly I cheated on the exam, but what will you do if you got caught? The easiest thing to do is to accept that you cheated. I’m just being honest that I cheat and wait for the punishment. It is what I’ve done.

    Another problem that makes me so hard to move is when I broke up with your sweetheart. It is hard to move when you’re attached to someone. I am blind to see the whole picture because I was inside of it and later figure out when I get out. I can see the image more when you’re away and understand what it really means. I have to move on.

    Like when you lost a small thing a toy or gadget in your house. You spend your time searching the whole day  and you will find it on the other day when you’re not really looking for it.

    When it comes to money… We may not have enough money at the moment. We wonder where to get it and often get frustrated when everybody turns us down. Don’t let yourself turn you down too. It’s the tragic mistake that you can make because it will paralyze us to think, to plan and act. Be happy that you don’t have money today no money can take away from you but today is the day you can make money. If you have nothing, you’re going to have. When you have it, share more often and all what left is a blessing.

  • Pay Yourself First

    This is the attitude that will save your future from being not enough. Give rewards to yourself first when you get your salary go and put some in your bank or savings. If you have enough savings to live for a year without a job is a nice result of paying yourself first.

    When helping people you can give everything but don’t forget to recognized or reward yourself. It is not sometime the money you can have but you also can have a blessing from God. If there nothing left with you because you give to help God will be the one will provide for your future.
    The bad habit of spending everything for you but categories for expenses is not paying yourself first. It will only solve your problem at the moment. Your future will depend on how you manage your money well.

    You can make a difference, every working man can save $5 on a pay day but honestly only few will do. You can always find in the end that people who save money or pay themselves first will always be happy and less the financial problem.

  • Get Mileage out of Reflection

    Looking back to what happen to you can push you more forward. It is like famous quotes “sharpening the saw” I read in the book “The seven habits of highly effective people” by Stephen F. Covey. You find the benefits of knowing how you get here and understanding your strength and weakness.

    Find yourself on things you can do well and things that you need to learn much more. When you reflect yourself, observe and find the answer of why you get there. When you have analysis on your reflection you can do more best on the next time around.

    The reflection in my life that I always wanted to go back is the day I learn how to smile. There is inevitable mood of feeling bad and the way how I manage to smile and understand that process is the best reflection I always observe. The day I lost my first phone model is “Asus v8” I bought from my first credit card. It is lost it and its not yet fully paid. Imagine what you can feel if it was your first. Sure you feel bad, but how I make myself learn to smile is a different point of my life. I know that I become careless on riding a public transport MRT.  And when something is taken out to you something will replace or fills in back. Nothing will be lost now if you have none but a things to have.

    You my lost your friends for a reason but you know someone can understand you better. Find a reflection where you can see yourself happy in the end. We make reflection to brighten up the way.

    You can also find some reflection from others; you can adopt or relate some situation from your friends, or others. We can take more visual experience and imaginary solutions as we observes and learn from their experience.

  • Experience Relaxed Passion

    There are three kind of passion! 1) The Hyper Passion, 2) I Love This As Long as Everything’s Works out well, and 3) The Relaxed Passion. I had experience all of these kind of passion but I never understand and get aware of it until I wanted to make a difference. We are used to do something that we love but never utilized what make grow more and productive.

    Hyper passion is something like that you love to do as long as you are excited and motivated. You will get tired in the end when you feel like it’s not worthy or not being appreciated.

    I love this as long as everything’s work out! This happen in most relationships and it ends if doesn’t work out as simple as that. You love each other until something went wrong for a reason that your relationships did not work out. I applies to my band mate too. I had a band that so aggressive to play and get together by music. I become a member of the band that never last long because I had some better plan to do so.

    Relax passion! It’s the best way to live with. When you can enjoy the hardest part of it. You love what you are doing and you are happy for it. Relax passion must be in your natural ways of living like you love to be with the people you care. Having a work using the talent that you have, like being a chief if you love to cook or a singer if you love to sing. You can’t be relax if they asked you to sing but you are lack of singing talent.

    Relax passion saves so much time and energy because you already know what you are doing. It is like driving on the same road over a year, some changes my happen but you can manage. It saves time and energy and it’s nice to be efficient at your relax passions.

  • Learn The Magic of Non-attachment

    The first time I’ve heard this advice is from the book of “Happiness In A Nutshell” by Andrew Mathews says about;

    The moment you get too attached to things, people, money … you screw it up!

    This book “Don’t Worry Make, Make Money” tells about what happens when you attach yourself to nothing. It shows that non attachment gives freedom and a win-win situation whatever the outcome of your doing.

    My personal experience on making myself nonattached is like offering or giving free services. Whatever the outcome of my services will never be a failure because I did give all my best but when I satisfied my customer that’s the real good story.

    What about if commitment is concerns? It does not mean that non-attachment is not making a commitment. Doing this kind of tricks has the same goals with commitment and that is to make things delivered. It’s the way how you do it and make it.

  • Give, Give, Give

    I understand the importance of giving when you feel good of doing it. You feel bad when you give not wholeheartedly and it makes me feels a part of me is taken. When some part of you is taken definitely you feel incomplete and being incomplete is really bad. But when you give wholeheartedly noting in the part will be missing and you will feel the joy completely as you give.

    When somebody borrowed something to me, I assume that I already give it and expect never to return or I will never let them borrow. It’s my fault if they can give it back because it let them borrowed. Hoping them the return the favor will only gives you bad mood, but recognizing the big help you give can make you proud of what you did.

    The old books says that when you give it will return a hundreds folds, just give and you will receive. Be careful of what you give, good and bad things must be consider. You cannot expect good things if you give a bad things.

  • Remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

    This phrase always been to my mind since I was a nine years old. I saw this line on a notebook cover and love to read it. Since then I am thinking of baby’s step as I interpret to myself. Everything here on earth has a beginning.

    I start blogging this book and I don’t know when I’ll be finished. What I have as of the moment is the vision that I can learn along the way and gain afterwards. Thinking of what lies ahead is a first step of creations. Things start to process when you think of it, when the universe is fit to it, it will be done.

    Take the first step and there will be next. Soon enough, just don’t quit and your goals will be fulfill.
