I have a wish : To at least do one good deed once a week
I feel a huge need to specifically share this. So here goes ...
As part of sitting down for a couple of minutes and setting out my plans for the year, I have carefully written and included to do at least one good deed or thing in any form be it volunteering, donating, providing support and services to people who are in need, sharing thoughts and becoming a better listener - pretty much anything listed as a 'good thing' for at least once a week.
The reason I have put this in my bucket list of must do things this year is because I need to feel a sense of satisfaction and worthiness in my life. It may also be about searching my purpose in this life too. I also understand and truly believe that in the principle of living in a society these three simple things helps us to function and bind better as one which are the act of sharing, giving and accepting. Therefore, I feel the urge and need for me to share, give and accept and the least thing I can do about it is to remember to provide one good deed at least for once a week.
I am not trying to push things too hard by putting a high benchmark of becoming a super goody person for everyday because we all know this fact too well - we are all born to stray. Nevertheless, I hope once a week of doing something good should be a good start of making a change for something big that a lot of people can benefit from. Get this, you don't need to be a 'somebody' to start making a change on the way things are working in this life. You just need to be sincere and put service above yourself because the reward is going to be something extravagant that no money can buy.
If you are looking for a true happiness, self-worth and a huge sense of appreciation from people around you, the best thing for you to accomplish that is to start giving the things that you wanted to have in return receive the things you have been missing in this life. Just in case, you still don't know where to start, leave me a comment and I will share with you on ways you can start giving and begin receiving in your life and that is still accounted under doing one good deed for at least once a week. :)
So yeah, I have a wish and I plan to keep up with it which is to do at least one good deed for at least once a week. So what are you wishing for today?

Scrambling to finish up a list of to-dos before the year ends
Yep, I am scrambling to finish up a long list of things that I should have done since early this year before the calendar changes again in a couple of weeks. Finishing up with the list means a great deal to me and usually the things that I don't really feel like doing the most turns out to be the most valuable thing ever because almost 99% of the time, the results of those "I don't feel like doing because I feel 'lazy' and 'uninspired' but I do it somehow" are amazing, incredible and churns out the best of all outcomes. So next time around if you feel so lazy and uninspired although you have a gut feeling that shouts you have to do that 'something' somehow, you better get it over and done with. Believe me that the amount of time spent to do those things you don't like doing are so worth the effort.
That is why just before the new year resumes again soon, if you are like me and have a lot of pending work to do, please get on with it and check it out from the list. You'll be satisfied they are all done with and let's start the new year fresh with more bright and great ideas ahead.
Until then, I should get it done with already. :)

Three months plus to go
It is right now getting close to three months to go before the year ends and it is also the time where I sit down and look back on how much I have come to accomplished up until now. It scares me a little that I may be a bit behind scheduled. However come to think of it, if I am to work all out on this few months, nothing is impossible. If I can literally climb mountain this year, I'm pretty sure I can possibly accomplish yet another great feat before the year ends.
I don't know about you guys but I must admit that I can be lazy and have a short attention span on things. So just in case you are experiencing the same 'lazy and short attention span' behaviour like I do, I figured the best remedy for that is to work on things as quickly as possible and always time and plan on your tasks for the day. It is of course much easier said than done and usually when I'm like really in my super lazy mode, I literally will talk to myself in my head as a second person to talk myself into doing those daily tasks. It works most time especially when I am constantly reminded on where am I right now and realizing that I'm still miles away from being successful.
Although things seem to be far away now but if I am to reflect on things I've learned since last year and taking a super risky plunge into something totally new, I must say, I'm pretty happy with myself. I've never been happier and I'm close to living my dreams and that's what matters. I'm taking action to make a change in my life because that's what I really I wanted to do. I guess all those job hopping for the past few years, really wasn't bad at all. It happened all for the good reason and I'm glad I'd learned a lot from all my jobs.
When I'm lazy and not really productive, I suppose I should begin writing more posts like this. Haha. But actually, when I'm lazy, I enjoy reading especially reading posts from motivational bloggers or writers. I read an awesome post from Yaro today about How you can change the world and although it's a pretty lengthy post, I'm glad I took the time reading it. It's just the right amount of motivational boost that I need to keep going. You'll sure need a lot of self-motivation when you are working on your own you know. =)
