11-11-11 (The Start of a New Life)

Well, it's quite evident how popular the date today is. 11-11-11 has raised many issues, and triggered the curiosity of almost everyone; particularly those who are considering marriage, starting up a business, placing bets in the lottery or making any kind of gamble. However, there's no scientific explanation and evidence or something that proves the "special-ness" of the said numbers. It could be that something good is going to happen, nothing's gonna transpire at all, or something bad is going to take place in a large scale.

For me, this day signifies the start of a new life. Sort of too late to think of beginnings seeing how fast-approaching December (and the New Year) is? Well, not really. I guess it's a perfect time to let go of negativities and move forward for a more prosperous and productive life. Lot of unpleasant things happened to me and my family these past few months, so I think we deserve a break. Especially that my brother is about to come home! Our family's about to get completed, and I can't wait to see the day that we're happily bonding with each other again.

Besides, I was born on the 11th day of April. So, somehow, the day is very special to me. It simply means a lot of opportunities to start anew!

You are what makes each day special.

I am quite getting the hang of working at home. I have found a really nice client; a kind of boss that puts more effort into shaping the skills and passion of his workers. I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to work for him, and with my friend. Life's really different when you're inside your own world; you're the keeper of your own time. But I know it takes a lot of self-control to succeed in such endeavor. But so far so good, eh?! :)

The scent and feel of Christmas is already in the Air! And although we still don't have any decors or something, I am so excited for such occasion. The thought of us gathering makes me giggle with anticipation. I know most people feel the same. But come to think of it, many families are in a dire situation these days. I pray for them, that they may have the strength to move on. Lately, the world has become a battleground for survival. Perhaps, the end is really near. I just hope that things will get better next year, if there is still... ;)

On Fighting Indecision

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

Indecisiveness is one of my weaknesses that I really hope to overcome. I always have a difficulty making up my mind, particularly when it comes to making choices or when choosing from a number of options. Maybe it's because I tend to be impulsive at times. And in order for me to minimize the impulsiveness, I see to it that I don't immediately make decisions, especially when it comes to money matters and other serious issues. But most of the time, I see myself trapped between the given options that I worry about the consequences.

There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision

I have learned to overcome an indecision issue that troubled me these past few days. And it feels so great to know that you have conquered something that's not actually a big deal as long as you clear your mind and focus on dealing with the dilemma. It's really wise to take things slowly, one step at a time. There's no point worrying about everything when you could not even do something about a few, small problems.

I realized that indecision often takes place if you don't actually know what you want -- if you don't know what you want to happen, what you want to achieve, where you want to go, or who you want to be with. If you don't know where to start or how to get things started, then chances are, you are not going to get anywhere and be able to do whatever that needs to be done. It's also a matter of priorities. 

You need to define your goals and objectives. You have to assess your capacity; figure out your limits, but be open to all the possibilities so that you can get over your boundaries. You need to determine and set your priorities. From there, you can effectively decide what you need to accomplish first. You can then make a more appropriate and rewarding decision.

It is human nature to stand in the middle of a thing.
