Anyone Familiar With The LAW OF ATTRACTION?
Anyone Familiar With The LAW OF ATTRACTION? I'll guess NOT much. BTW, the LAW OF ATTRACTION does NOT refer OR pertain to romantic relationships only. NOT at all. IF you are a student, you need to get the ATTRACTION of your academic mentors, hoping they will favorably recognize your academic performance. IF you are a worker, you would love to get the ATTRACTION all the way to the top tier CxO-level officers of your organization๐ด๐ท๐ตIF you're single and available, obviously you need that LAW OF ATTRACTION. IF you're an entrepreneur, you would sorely need that LAW OF ATTRACTION to lure your potential clients and business partners. Now, let's zoom-in to the LAW OF ATTRACTION which has gained significant attention in recent years as a powerful tool in our daily life. In fact, the LAW OF ATTRACTION is much sought after these days๐๐๐This LAW OF ATTRACTION is based on the belief that our thoughts and emotions have the ability to shape our reality. Attracting experiences and circumstances that align with our 'dominant mindset'. And by focusing on our POSITIVE THOUGHTS, feeling and beliefs, we can attract positive outcomes and opportunities into our lives. The LAW OF ATTRACTION operates on the principle that everything is made of ENERGY, and that includes our thoughts and emotions๐๐๐And when we align ourselves with POSITIVE energy through conscious intention and visualization, we can begin to manifest our desires. And that involves cultivating a mindset of abundance, gratitude and optimism while letting go of limiting beliefs or NEGATIVE patterns that may be holding us back. Be aware that LAW OF ATTRACTION is NOT a magical solution but rather a PRACTICE that requires consistent effort✅✅✅And the LAW OF ATTRACTION is founded on shifting our MINDSET for SUCCESS. Belief systems play a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, actions and ultimately our SUCCESS. By understanding the power of belief and learning how to shift our MINDSET, we can unlock our full potential and achieve greater SUCCESS in the various aspects of our life. And POSITIVE affirmation is one effective tool for shifting our mindset. These are the statements we keep repeating [to ourselves] to reinforce our beliefs about ourselves and our abilities. Hoping that today, you have the basic grasp of the LAW OF ATTRACTION❗❗❗No one size fits all. That explains why we're here, to share my 2-cents where it's worth it.

What You See May NOT Be What It Is
What You See May NOT Be What It Is
Apparently, there are jobs that may not look like 'PLUM' ones but the incumbent gains enormous life-changing lessons simply by performing the tasks. And that job I'm referring to is the BANK TELLER's job where transactions may either be interesting, depressing or simply a boring one. Nevertheless, What You See May NOT Be What It Is๐ด๐ท๐ตBreaking That VICIOUS CYCLE
Breaking That VICIOUS CYCLE
Let's reflect and look back within our daily life. Do you feel tired of exerting all your energy into trying to achieve bigger and better results BUT all you end up with is the same thing in return? Did you ever feel that FRUSTRATION burning in your chest the more you think about the VICIOUS CYCLE you're trying to get out of? And do you wish you could stop comparing yourself to your peers, WHO seem to be doing much better in life? Well, admittedly, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT but I'm more focused in Breaking That VICIOUS CYCLE๐ด๐ท๐ต
Even taking a positive spin, let us look around SUCCESSFUL people. True, they made their mark BUT try to observe this if it's still trending. When they hit a PEAK, and once they do, they DON'T know how to get past it. Until years after, they might be awakened from their 'deep slumber' and realize that they were NOT doing anything NEW. Things then had become a monotonous cycle and NOTHING you could change things. Then, it leads to trying to escape That VICIOUS CYCLE๐๐๐
And at one point in my life, as I kept trying to remedy the problem [sometimes OUT OF FRUSTRATION] by tackling external factors, I never realized that the PROBLEM was in ME. My internal beliefs were holding ME back from gaining clarity and developing an action plan. So, how can I ever get to Break That VICIOUS CYCLE๐๐๐
At that point, I wanted to advance and reach a bigger stage in my life, those lofty heights made out of ambitious dreams. I became overly ambitious as I wanted to be HAPPIER and MORE SUCCESSFUL than I already was BUT the state of my mindset was holding me back. That realization allowed me to analyze myself from within and pinpoint the exact feelings that were holding me back. Voila, my biggest mental block was FEAR and DOUBT, so those two compelling variables were holding me out from Breaking That VICIOUS CYCLE❌❌❌
Then, things from bad to worse. I never stopped thinking [and OVER-thinking] like all the WHAT IFs. As a result, I started working from a place of despair then even my decisions were fear-driven. And as I couldn't get myself out of that harrowing cycle, my sense of doubt intensified NOT until I realized that I could pursue alternative options to advance my goals and that led me towards Breaking That VICIOUS CYCLE✅✅✅

Why Do We Fail DESPITE Our Best Intentions?
Why Do We Fail DESPITE Our Best Intentions?
Sure I totally agree, everyone of us, regardless of our unique circumstances, everyone of us have our BEST INTENTIONS once we set our mind to achieve a goal. But are we aware that the SUCCESS to FAILURE ratio is pegged to 5:2 wherein on average, for every 5 FAILURES, there are 2 SUCCESSES. So, the disturbing question is Despite all the givens in life, WHY Do We Fail DESPITE Our BEST INTENTIONS❓❓❓Indeed that's the biggest understatement, that 'THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS' because a lot more INTENTIONS are NOT just GOOD enough but some are the BEST ever INTENTIONS one can have in life. Yet, based on the 5:2 ratio, we are miserably FAILING? Where did our BEST INTENTIONS go then❌❌❌Let's take a moment to think of a task you wish to accomplish in the next 3 months. It should be something specific, like repainting your room OR completing an online course so that you can judge definitively IF and WHEN it has been completed. BUT as you think about it right now, how likely would we say it is that you will finish the task by the end of summer๐๐๐
Are You White-Hot And Passionate?
Are You White-Hot And Passionate?
Are You White-Hot And Passionate? BTW, I DON'T consider myself either flashy, boisterous OR kind of a rabble-rousing person BUT I'll pull a fast one to state categorically that DOESN'T mean that I DON'T have the passion, that 'FIRE IN THE BELLY'. That blaze is within, ravishing me daily , burning me at both ends, heating my mind and fueling my creative fumes. I even shared this to my teams that each morning [those moments WHEN I'm on my 'morning prayers', I would wake up ignited ready for a new day that has dawned on me. Was there a morning I DIDN'T wake up that way? Yes when I was really ill๐ต๐ด๐ทIf there is a fact peddled day-in day-out, it is a fact that successful people. regardless of their personalities, burn on the inside, enough to describe them as White-Hot And Passionate. We DON'T need to look far. Look around people you know on first-hand basis. Pick out the successful ones and circle the ones who are NOT passionate in their work? Have we ever known someone at the top of their game BUT was only lukewarm in what they do๐๐๐Thing is, without that FIRE, that BURN that keeps you going, you CAN'T possibly make it in a world with distractions, disappointments, disillusionment and discrimination. Only the PASSIONATE can push past the obstacles thrown along the way, often producing results that 'LIGHT THE WORLD WITH THEIR FIRE'. Even writers all write in unison THAT it is NOT light we need but that FIRE IN THE BELLY๐๐๐
When we're struggling to get out of a BAD place, we DON'T know how it will end. Whether we will break through OR get sucked in. In those kinds of struggles, however, we should then try to consider TRANSFORMATION. It is that FIRE IN THE BELLY to CHANGE, to TRANSFORM, to win that pushes some people to do those 'superhuman things'๐๐๐Many years back when I was quite active in the job market, I ensured that I am able to 'showcase' my FIRE IN THE BELLY' not when I am at work but as early as during those job interviews. Ever mindful that it was a MAKE or BREAK for me, I had to pull out all the aces from my sleeves if only to convincingly get the 'nod' of the interviewer that indeed I was WHITE-HOT & PASSIONATE๐๐๐

Why Coping Is NOT Enough
Why Coping Is NOT Enough
Many of us [that includes me in the past] thought that when we get bogged down with a problem [or even a crisis], COPING is the way to go. BTW, till today, that holds water. When I get hit with a problem, COPING is the immediate next thing to do. So, WHAT's our shortfall? It is our failure to realize that despite COPING, certainly Coping Is NOT Enough because COPING is just a QUICK FIX, to help us get over the hump, only for that moment๐ด๐ท๐ตQuick query: In your past, after you tried COPING, didn't a similar situation repeated by itself [again]? More often, such situations do recur. It's like a DEJA VU, like it's all over again. BUT the question, why do we think we end going through the same gauntlet all over again? It's because we thought COPING is the 'final nail on the coffin' BUT we are grossly wrong on that aspect because we are sorely missing one thing and that's getting into the ROOT CAUSE๐๐๐
For example, helping someone cope with the loss of a loved one can be invaluable UNTIL the person is ready to face the world again. Teaching self-care techniques to a heartbroken adult may ease the pain of initial loneliness and heartache and learning COPING techniques while quitting smoking is essential to one's SUCCESS. This is WHEN and WHERE the NEXT STEPS' should happen after COPING๐๐๐Frankly, COPING skills are NOT a solution. While it's fairly universally agreed upon that COPING skills are helpful, we should never lose track of figuring out the PERMAMENT FIX hoping that that recent exception WON'T recur but if it does, we could deftly handle the situation way behind by just COPING. So, the unspoken and tacitly agreed upon expectations is that after the COPING phase, we should carry on to figure out how to prevent it from recurring, or at the very least, how to manage and contain it, probably with little or no COPING skills necessary✅✅✅
Who's Scared To Live Life On A FAST LANE?
Who's Scared To Live Life On A FAST LANE?
Who's Scared To Live Life On A FAST LANE? Not to scare anyone but this query should NOT push you to cower in FEAR. Instead, this is an up front question we need to address before we unlock our brakes and drive out on the roads. And we all know that anywhere in the world, the metro areas will always offer you the option to take the FAST LANE [unless you opt out]๐๐๐WHO wants to get caught in the horrendous traffic gridlock, anyone? Whether you're enjoying the freeways in the U.S. or crawling through the traffic gridlocks of Asian metro areas in Mumbai, Jakarta or Manila, surely any Tom, Dick and Harry will opt for the FAST LANE for obvious reasons we WON'T waste space in our thread today. Let's swing back to our life. Can we agree that in life, there is a FAST LANE as well? For alignment, when you opt for the FAST LANE in life, either you are that adventurous, competitive, energetic, overly ambitious or so focused with your timetable such that where possible you'd match the speed of sound to travel. On the other hand, let's admit, it is NOT a crime if you're likely that conservative and calculated fellow who would take measured paces lest you stumble flat on your face๐ด๐ท๐ตDo reflect back in your recent years and ask yourself. ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR PACE IN LIFE? Or do you feel you've got enough power [and fuel] such that you'd like to switch to the FAST LANE? BTW, let me qualify here that to live on the FAST LANE does NOT mean that everyone of us is really CUT and Fit to a 'T' to breeze through the FAST LANE. Frankly, there are quite tough criteria that you've got to satisfy up front. AMBITION. ENERGY. FOCUS. MOTIVATION and a battery/power source that may get drained BUT will never get drained [under any scenario]๐๐๐Swinging back to myself, I swear that in my early years, I was so impatient such that I was lurking towards the FAST LANE because what was driving me damn hard was my singular focus on my timeline. To share, as early as my university days, I was so focused on my goals, achieving it every academic term. When I joined the fray in the job market, I realized things were running in a frenetic pace✅✅✅FAST LANEs in life, though, would separate the boys from men. Eventually we will distinguish the 'FREE & EASY' folks versus the ambitious, energized and focused folks. BTW, it's NOT mandatory to drive along the FAST LANE but think about the implications and ramifications if you remain driving in that NOT SO FAST LANE. And in case you're SCARED TO LIVE LIFE ON A FAST LANE, better not❗❗❗Monday, December 18, 2023
The Marginal Difference that Separates FAILURE & SUCCESS
The Marginal Difference that Separates FAILURE & SUCCESS
Many of us think [and I'm guilty of this in the past] that the difference between FAILURE and SUCCESS is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. No sirrrrrrrs. Studies tells the contrary as statistics show that roughly 5% is what separates a lot of FAILURE vs SUCCESS stories that were decided by a Marginal Difference that Separates FAILURE & SUCCESS๐ด๐ท๐ต
So, the statistical data from the studies have shot down the age-old wrong assumption that huge differences separated FAILURE and SUCCESS. On the contrary, a little tweak and twist there would have tilted things in favor of the protagonists who may have failed. With a level playing field and all things equal, this should be a 'shot in the arm' for those struggling through๐๐๐Let's visualize ourselves in the middle of a mammoth crowd and you got to extricate yourself from it. That happened to me and my wife when we attended a political rally where the record count of the crowd breached one million. And that night, our goal was to walk off after all the political speeches and just prior to the concert-like things following the political rally. How we managed to literally PUSH THROUGH that mammoth crowd [and once we extricated ourselves out, we lost no time to find the nearest 7-Eleven to gulp ice cold drinks to quench our thirst]๐๐๐
PUSHING THROUGH when you think you CAN'T is what makes all the difference between FAILING or SUCCEEDING. Pushing forward despite the challenges, the setbacks and the hardships is WHAT makes champions, heroes and the very best SUCCESS STORIES. PUSHING THROUGH is the DNA of SUCCESS, period๐๐๐As an analogy with cars, we CANNOT move forward if our emergency break is still ON. It's as simple as that. There will be outliers where LUCK [or BAD LUCK] will have a hand in the ultimate outcome but those are outliers. In fact, before a situation eventually collapses upon us, there will be multiple tell-tale signs to forewarn us. That gives us more than an ample time to pivot from that level of uncertainty. Do note always that more often, there is just a MARGINAL DIFFERENCE THAT SEPARATES FAILURE and SUCCESS✅✅✅
When Absorption Is Still HIGH
When Absorption Is Still HIGH
When is the rocket launched by U.S. NASA? When are the missiles launched by warring forces? When are bombs unleased? When do F1 drivers drive at full throttle? When do the mountaineers take the final lap to reach the summit of Mount Everest? The common answer is: When Absorption Is Still HIGH. WHY? That's when the full strength is at its peak. That's when the motivation is at its peak๐ด๐ท๐ตSunday, December 17, 2023
Website 101: How To DETECT Fake OR Fraudulent Websites
Website 101: How To DETECT Fake OR Fraudulent Websites
The CYBERCRIME Industry was valued USD 3 Trillion way back 2015 and by 2025, it is expected to be a USD 10.5 Trillion Industry, whew. And even as we speak now, it continues to run unabated, galloping with the huge strides NOT even your prized stallion can run parallel. So, in the midst of our Christmas holidays, why DON'T we spend a fraction of our time for Website 101: How To DETECT Fake OR Fraudulent Websites๐๐๐This is a snapshot of the actual email received by John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff, His faux pas? He reacted [I'll say, he PANICKED] with this alert and clicked the "CHANGE PASSWORD". The consequences and ramifications of this action caused his account to be compromised [Imagine the tons of confidential emails in the Clinton Presidential Campaign that were unduly exposed] !@#$%?
