Positivity - The Meaning Of Events

I know my blog posts are erratic. So just wanted to
put a bit of my thoughts, my AHAs down today.

What is positive thinking to you? Why is positivity
so important??

The way I see it, when I am negative and down...
I feel tired, and not so good in general. When I am
in a negative state, everything seems bad, everyone
seems angry, things seem to get worse, everything
is not going my way.

Murphy's Law seem to work overtime, and it is applied
to me and only me!

When I am feeling good, everything seems to go my way.
I can function so much more efficient, I am much more
creative, I feel happier, I feel alive!

What is the difference between the two experience?

Think it through. Because I am lazy, I will share my
thoughts another day. Please comment away if you have
any thing to share!

A New Beginning - Backdated Blog Entry

Ok... this is going to be weird. I have had a couple of blog posts since the last one, but did not get to upload it.

Read them and you will see why I was not able to find time to do so since my decision almost two weeks back.

This one is dated 6th of April.

----

It's official. I am going to be out of a job starting from 4th of May.

I can't describe the feeling of relief when I finally told my bosses that I had to go. I've been hiding for so long because I was worried about loss of my bonuses. It feels very wrong and sounds very petty. That is why I am determined not to feel this way again.

What was nice was that someone offered me a job almost immediately. Although I rejected the offer without any hesitation, it felt good to be wanted.

What am I going to do? Real estate sales. I am now in the midst of talking to my future bosses and mentor, so I can't reveal too much, but very exciting.

In the meantime, I will also be training up to become a professional videographer to make ends meet.

Yup, none of it safe or secure. That's how I like it.

Steps into the unknown

What are the steps to success?

• Have a compelling reason. Checked.
• Have a vision that is made more real than fear. Checked.
• Take massive action. No time.
• Burn all bridges, and don't look back. Er... Don't dare to.

It is what Robert T. Kiyosaki said. Robert G. Allen talked about burning bridges.

All those years of what I'm sure some people will say is brainwashing and I am following that advice.

I am quitting my safe secure programming job, and taking up something that is as different as possible, real estate sales.

Will I succeed? I am certain of it.

(I am fully aware that I am accountable for everything I say in this entry, on public domain, in fact, that is partially why I am saying it. Burn another bridge. You being my witness, there's no going back now.)

To me, it's a massive change.

I have friends who tell me I am crazy. Our wedding is coming in little more than half a year's time. Wedding package, actual day photography, house renovations... Things will get pretty tight very soon.

Of course, it's not as bad as I make it out to be. I have a supportive partner, surprisingly supportive parents and very empowering friends. We have enough savings for the wedding, and a lttle more to last me three months without a paycheck. I have a house that is paying itself, more or less.

But why now?

It gave me goose pimples when I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" again recently. Robert T. Kiyosaki said to "work to learn and not work for money."

Rich Dad also said that being broke is a temporary condition, but being poor is a mindset. If I am to become broke, doing so before 30 would be best because I will still have time to catch up,

Amazingly... I am following Robert's footsteps, maybe consciously at the start, but now semi consciously now because I am who I wanted to be now, and that person finds what I am doing perfectly reasonable.

I sure don't want to be broke, but in quitting, I am saying I don't mind being broke in order to achieve freedom.
