Let me know who do you like the most?

Buffet is good but not unique...You do not want to be just good, do you?

Let me ask you question at beginning. If there would be an option for you to select between 2 options what would you take? 

A) Eat in place like buffet where is selection of meats, sides and desserts

B) Eat 3 course meal in place with soul, energy and unique atmosphere

I am wondering about your opinion and try to explain why. With my friends we decided today go to have food outside because during week we do not have time for that. We were searching for some place and finally we chose one buffet. Why? Because in buffet you find a variety of meals and price is not expensive. Unfortunately we forgot take in mind other factors. By the way what was your selection, buffet or restaurant? Why did you select like that?
 

So let me share my feelings. I think place was nice, there were a good selection of meals and kind staff. We came, had food and left. Those are my emotions from place.

 There was nothing breath taking. Place and meals did not leave any emotions to share. Place like buffet miss culture, I realized that it is just about to have food (a lot of food :) ) but it place completely miss its own culture, passion, vision, back story, something that would characterize place like unique. Every place should say its own story, something that make place irresistible and you would share story with others and make you come back. And I am aware that same principle can be used on people. People who know where they go, with purpose, passion, dreams and vision are unique and followed. Do I want to be just part of mass without passion, back story, purpose, vision, dream that is question that you have to answer yourself?

Anyway there are 2 ways you can choose to go. You can be part of buffet, place which is good, it fulfills own goal however spot like that miss passion, purpose, vision. Or become part of place with soul. Be aware of your purpose, vision, dream, uniqueness, have back story, your own culture. Leave emotional experience and people will share your story because of strong emotion that will keep their mind and hearts long interested in. Same like place to eat. Choose buffet and you will not share anything about it, select spot with soul and energy and you let others to try it as well. So where would you like to go eat?

Desire, starting point of everything

Let me ask you, have you ever played back situation in your mind and wished that you handled differently? I guess, we all did. Can you remind what that was? What was feeling you had? Anxiety, procrastination, hesitation.  It meant you were out of balance with your desire or you have set yourself apart from what you really wanted. In either case you get this ugly feeling. That sense of knowing that your choice was not aligned with what you desired. Learning to make choices from your feelings, desires takes practice and patience. A good place to start is to take ownership of your choice. No matter of results, you are in charge of. Knowing that you are willing to stand behind your choices empowers you to make a choice from your desire and not from outcome.

What do you want the most from life? I think all answers will aim to future. So far, you have it in your own mind. If these thoughts are mixed with definite purpose, persistence and burning desire you can translate into reality. I do not think about what I do not have, better way is that you establish strong desire for that. Desire is one of the strongest positive emotions that lead to action every time.  I try to do things with desire that you do succeed, help or bring better feelings.

How you can build burning desire? At first, fix in mind whatever you want to achieve, it has to be definitive. Determine what are you intend to give in return for that. Establish time frame you want reach it. Create definite plan for carrying out your desire and put plan into action. Write it down like statement and read it morning, evening and what is important feel it when you read, use your imagination. (This is taken from philosophy created by Napoleon Hill where he were searching for common clues behind succeeds of the greatest people.)

So as you can see the issue is not what we want, it is about how you can build strong desire for that and how you can accomplish your goal. I had set up mine approximately 1 and half year ago and I still did not reach it. Remember you will not get it in several months, it takes longer but if you put energy, power and effort everything backed with goal, you will reach it. What is your desire?

Finding right purpose

After my Saturday experience I can tell that it does not matter what you say but how you say which means how you feel when you interact with others. Almost everywhere you are learned to tell right things however they do not teach you how to share those things. After what is happening that you know a lot, however you do not know how express what you want to. Did that happen to you? I can confirm that it happened to me before.
Now I understand that more important is how you feel, because people feel what you communicate more than actual words you express. I can share my experience from this week.
Every day I was trying to feel better, it means I backed my mind with positive thoughts. I did not think about myself, what I have or do not have (things I cannot change). During last week I putted into my mind that my desire is help people get better value, I believe in myself what I do and in my service and I have faith that I will meet everyday people who I can help out. I was focusing on their feelings more than on words they were expressing. I have not been thinking about myself but about others. Now I can confirm that it is better for you and for people you interact with. Again I have to repeat the best way how you can improve (help yourself) is helping others.
So if you want to feel better, help other feel better. I will continue work on that. My purpose is being happy, improve myself and pursue my dream with goal to help others. Today I had seen great video of Simon Sinek, where he talks about finding purpose in service. When you find time to watch, check out that video. I liked it, what about you?

My first week after break

First week of my second half internship is behind me and if I would have to evaluate myself, I did not do well. Of course I could say myself it was just first week after 1 month break, however I do not. I am in control myself, so it means, I am responsible what happened to me and for my results. I cannot look at reasons which I do not control. I am responsible for my thoughts, emotions, feelings, triggers which make us who we are and how we behave to others and it means our influence to others. This week I will work more efficiently, try to be in control of my thoughts patterns during all day and do not give up at end of day.  Work day has 480 minutes and I cannot know if I succeed in first minute or last one. Only what I know that I have to believe in positive result, have faith and desire what I am doing and of course be persistent. Those are abilities which help me get my goals. Our trainers told us that when you are not doing well, be grateful, that is the best way how to get from that, so I would like to thank for opportunity being here, to my family, friends and people I admire. I want to thank as well one person who I met recently during my holiday because that person is really unique to me.  I set up goal for this week that every day when I wake up I will start day with gratitude. I am looking forward to new week, because it means new people, new opportunities and self development. I attach one video I have seen recently, I think it is amazing because show how world is amazing place.

I love...

...my life. I would like to share with you recipe I prepared today. Because it was so delicious I tell you what was that and what I added there so you can prepare the same for yourself, it is really easy. It was simply just fish and potatoes...

but what matter is that I added special ingredient- desire and passion. I did it because I love cooking and that is why it was so tasty. I realize that the best things are those we do with desire. I know that it is not possible to do everything with like that however I should try more. Life would be better for all of us. This is my last day of winter break and as I was cooking I was thinking about everything what happened to me during that time.

I can say that happened a lot and I can be thankful for everything mainly because I was doing the most of that with desire, passion and love. I met a lot of new interesting people with whom I stay in touch because they became my friends. I did things which I have never done before some good, some bad, but never mind, because I was doing it with love, passion and desire.  I realize that life is beautiful and everything what happened to me either good or bad everything is happening for reason. Sometimes we cannot recognize from where we are if it is good or bad however when you do it based upon your desire, I am sure it will be good at some point. I believe in law of attraction, I am more than sure only you can attract people, things tangible or intangible so it means we are in control what happens to us.

Tomorrow I start and I do not know what will happen in next 6 months, however what I know that I am in charge of it.

Attitude

The thing we don t see, but it is perceived the most. Everybody has it, but nobody talk about it too much. Why is it, that it is so important and there are just couple of people that learn about that and possess it.

For 15 years of my education I did not have one single class where would somebody learn and educate me what is attitude, why is it so important to have it. All I was learning was knowledge which of course is important, however as far you do not know how handle your attitude, all knowledge is worthless. Unfortunately I have possess some level of attitude before I came over here, however I did not know what is it and how can I operate from that.  I have had opportunity and still have develop my all day long.

6 months ago I started my internship program. Everyday wake up, learn, work, training of skills, work, come home evening exhausted, make preparation for tomorrow for 6 days long during the week. Can you imagine that it is not easy, when you work like that? And the worst part of that is when you do not do well at work, when your progress is not the best, when your result are not sufficient and you try day after day. You can conceive that your mind and mental health is screw up. What you can do? You can continue and give up, it means you will admit that you cannot be better, or you can pretend that you have to leave because there is something urgent back home. Those all are ways how you can get out from this trap. Or you can choose way of everyday failing, struggling, self improving, sacrificing and believing in yourself. There is always choice. I believe that there are people with more talent, but more than talent I believe in hard work, dedication and attitude. I believe that you can beat talent with these skills. I want you to assure that for 6 months I made progress, however it does not mean that I am satisfied. I did not reach my potention; there is a lot work in front of me. But what count is that in the hardest period of internship I believed in myself that I can improve with harder work and I relied on my attitude. You can think, how you can work harder than what I mentioned before, however where is will there is always way. I took one extra hour of study morning, one in evening, and some during Sunday. It helped me. Now there is another 6 months ahead me and I look forward to struggle, fail and hard work because I know that is time when I grow.

Attitude is connection of our past experience and expectation. My attitude is straight forward in what I am doing and why I am doing it. It showed me a lot about who I am. People who posses strong attitude, belong to the most successful in their field. What helped me to keep my attitude strong is I answered interpersonal questions like purpose of what are you doing anywhere you are. You should know answer why you do that. Do not do things just because somebody expects to do that. That is not sufficient. I am already aware of hidden power of attitude and only with straight attitude you can do whatever you want. There is no limitation, only that you set up in your mind. I realize that my skills are still just average however my attitude is better than that and it is what help me, empower me and keep me on track what I do. Think right, feel right, and act right.

I like reading and books like Napoleon Hill: Think and grow rich, Og Mandino: The greatest Salesman in the world, Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist helped me a lot. Just check this out and when you find some time grab it and read it. I promise it helps.
