    Thanks Savinda. Decide and you will define your goals eventually. Track your progress no matter. With self talk and integrity this way it helps you manage your focus on your goals. With self-discipline towards achieving your goals rewarding yourself of every tiny bit of success. You will realize your goals. I know I mentioned goals many times.

    I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THIS SIMPLE CONCEPT, WHICH IS REALLY THE REAL MEANING OF ALL, YES ALL OF THE CONCEPTS IN THIS MOTIVATIONAL PRESENTATIONS, EMPOWERING OF ONE SELF, LEARNED BEHAVIOR, FOCUS, TIME MANAGEMENT, ACHIEVING SUCCESS, ETC... THIS SIMPLE CONCEPT THAT SIMPLIFIES ALL OF THE ABOVE IN NINE WORDS AND CHANGES OUR LIVES AND HELP US ACHIEVE THE MOST THAT THIS GIVEN LIFE-EXPERIENCE THAT WE LIVE IS THIS:
    "THE POINT OF POWER IS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT" SO FORGET THE PAST, JUST USE IT AS FEEDBACK OF WHAT WAS DONE AND DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A MISTAKE BUT AS A SPRINGBOARD FOR THE EXPERIENCES LEARNED THAT HAS SHAPED YOUR LIFE INTO WHAT YOU ARE TODAY, NOT AS A WASTE OF TIME BUT AS ACCUMULATED KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN USE TO COMPARE YOUR POSITION IN THE PRESENT. ALSO, FORGET THE FUTURE WHICH DOESN'T EXIST YET, IT WILL ONLY BE WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT BY FOCUSING IN "THE PRESENT MOMENT" AND EMPOWER YOURSELVES.

      There are several things you can try
      Don't have a long to-do list
      Learn to say 'No'
      Do most important tasks first
      Simplify and de-clutter
      (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Wilfs Blueprint System site )

  • @waalex11
    @waalex11 Před 3 lety +4

    Terrible delivery in expressing his story clearly.
    Basically he first figured out the patterns of his failures or whatever and focus on the successful factors.
    Minimized his goals into smaller portions one by one.
    He later realized he wants to live for overall self love and others with relationships, networking with his career and help people.
    Alright video but. Flawed.
    I'll move to the next.
