Winning the Day: The Lego Bricks to an Overall Goal

As part of the whole focus of this blog. I discovered a video from a guy named Kevin Bracy. He was talking about how most people try to make New Years Resolutions and that we as human beings are so focused on achieving goals deep within our future that we forget about the most important thing, winning the day. He actually referred it as "Win the Day".

And basically what that means is forget about only doing things to win for the future. Focus on now/today. Win the day, then you will win the future. Don't think about how whatever you are doing will affect your future. As long as it is positive, you will "win the day" and with it, you will "win the future". Focus on the present. Use this method (winning the day) as the Lego bricks and your long term goal as the complete product fully built.

For example. My goal by the end of this year is to get a car. But in order to do that sure I need to work and save money. But each day, I have to not spend a certain about in order to have enough. Now one thing I want to add is to combine the Win the Day method with SMART goal method. Now for those of your that don't know what a SMART goal is, here is it. Its actually an acronym: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. These apply to your long-term goals only. If you need an explanation, click the word in blue SMART, Google it, or for those of you that use it, Bing it.

Thank you Jovon Torres for referring me to him.

The Outcast

This is the next part in a series of posts about what I think I am... For awhile now, I've noticed that I slowly have been drifting from the social norms and the family norms. And of course, when you  do that, you tend to lose the relationships with people with whom you've been close with. People tend to drift/distance themselves from you.

Be A Legend

In the song above titled The Believer , singer John Legend and rapper Common speak about how they plan to grow to be legends and kings in what they do (Sing and rap). They mean kings hypothetically of course. They speak in a double entendre. I said before they want to be kings but not Kings as in king of England they mean that they want to be looked up to by everyone else due to the powerful words that they speak. And thus, the moral of this post: Live to be a legend. Many people tend to live their lives at a limit. For example many people take a job but do not try their hardest to be the best at it to the point where other people look up to them. And personally, I feel as if the reason why many people do not do this is because they are afraid of the conflicts they will attract throughout the process. Many people do not want to fight against the opposition. They would rather limit themselves so they don't have to face it at all. Another example being a personal one: “I

The Non-Believer

We being human beings grew up believing in various things. Just to name a few; whether there is really a God, whether the government in our respective countries is hiding things from us that we ought to know. But we never really ask ourselves the big "w". Why? Why do we believe in such things. Why don't we try to question reality. I for one have started to question just about everything lately. Here's a list of things I have questioned so far about the life we live: Is there really a God? Are we really alone in the universe? Do our governments really have information to hide about secret projects? Are we just a simulation, or a dream? And if so, who is the dreamer? The Holy Bible (Christianity's holy book)
