When Everything Is Overwhelming
Recently I have faced big challenges. I have to do extra work in order to meet my goals and finance my concerns. Here time is of the essence. I am not getting any younger and I noticed I could only do so much. We know health is of paramount concern of everyone. Or we should give the most important priority on health so I chose to rest and forego whatever was on my mind for the past days.
With targets to meet on my personal progress in online marketing business. I have to juggle up the different tasks I have decided to do on a daily basis and I had prioritized my priorities which I deemed more necessary for personal success. So I have to sacrifice some of my time to one to put them on to the other tasks.
I realized I have to trim down my so many activities and junk the others for the meantime and see in the future like a month or 2 if I could return to them and re-start those tasks. All of them are also important to me. But I have to be more lean to be more effective. Otherwise, I would be dragging all of those chosen tasks slower.
I reckoned it would be good to achieve the most important priority much faster because it concerned on earning extra income. And in the Bible it stated, money answer everything (Ecc 10:19). I do not know about other opinion but this is what it is written in the Book. So my priority has to be wise. And this is what we need to be careful about.
The use of time is the key to our success. Whatever is success to you. Time is the sticking point twith regards to result we are looking for. And the readiness of our heart and mind to do the actual work.
We have to face a lot of many things in this life as well. For one, life is never fair. People who have worse character would have the best of worldliness. And sometimes, the good ones are on the receiving end of many agonies and struggle. But that is life. Eventhough, I have to still understand this equation, I have to accept whatever comes to me and make the best of it.
Accpetance of this truth means we are more equip to face life as it is. We need not only ready to take the sudden turns of event in stride, we need to take it with courage, resolve and strength of purpose that in the end everything will be alright. Many times we experience so many seemingly insurmountable hurdles but in fact they were just as they were - illusions. Our mind has the habit of making a mountain out of a mole hill. The attitude should always be - everything shall pass and we should not worry but we should look for the solutions of every hurdle. Positive mind set is a great tool.
Many of us have resolved to create results this year. I believe if we truly use our time and wisely do our homework on our subjects or projects we all are going to succeed. I shall not be surrendering to anything. I am going to move forward with greater fervor and determination to achieve my goals. If I would finish them on schedule well and good. But everyone knows, it might be good on a plan but in application it may not. More often than not unseen issues would pop out like popcorn popping.
A great plan accordingly should be dynamic. A plan is not a good plan if we do not change when it is necessary to change. A smart plan is just nothing if we don't take action. And if we do not treat our plans like real business, our output could be lopsided or half cooked which in any benchmark of excellence is not the way. You may as well stop doing it.
In our life., if we pursue anything we need to give 100% of our commitment so as when the results are achieved whatever they may be, you know you have given your best rather than the knowledge of you only gave less that 100% of your effort. That to me is not acceptable.
Let us finish our goals with full determination, persistence and perseverance. Focus and mindfulness are the ingredients we need to put in our heart and mind in order to see the light of day holding our dreams in reality. All the very best everyone. What can you add my friend?

The answer is really what is your capacity? I have found over the years, concentration is the key. You have to set the goal look at what you achieve when you get it, but then backtrack to how you will get it, there are only so many hours you can work in a day, since I retired my capacity to take on more work has declined, so you have to have a list of priorities. When you mix a drink you put the shot/spirit, ice in the glass you then add the mixer, you could wish to put more dilution in the glass but the drink isn’t the same, so either go concentrate, or dilute and don’t achieve your priority
If you get up tight and pressure yourself too much to go where you want go, there is a chance that your heath will be effected. Whereas, if you run your days at a comfortable pace it may take you longer to get there but there is a good chance you will live longer and you'll need the money longer. Don't kill yourself getting where you want to go.
We are all looking for Liberty 55, but when we are there, we just see that a bunch of our life is behind us and less to come.
You are right, TIME IS A PRECIOUS ASSET, and we don't have enough to do everything that needs to be done.
Thanks Florentino,

We can't change so many events around us but we can definitely effect a change in how we react and respond to them. Ultimately it's our courage and grit determination that helps us learn and resolve things.
Excelling at what we do is very important, and even more is our health and well being and of others in the family. Time is so precious and prioritization of tasks is definitely necessary.
I sometimes like to look at this whole life thing as a game we are playing with ourselves, not in a reckless way, but as a focused and mindful activity that flows like waves and tides in a seashore!
You'll do very well and meet all your goals Florentino. You have everything it takes including experience, wisdom and the right knowledge.
Very deep thought and true! Thank you for your thoughts and vote of confidence in me. I wish you the same for I know you are wise!

Hello. I can completely relate to your post. As a beginner, I am completely overwhelmed. I was having difficulty deciding whether to first respond to all of the wonderful people welcoming me into the community, or focusing on the training. Just the training itself is very overwhelming to me. So if my response is slow I apologize. Thank you.
You are doing right. Focus first on the training. And from time to time join the WA community.
