Today, I was able to confirm something that I have been reading for quite a long time. The significance of a CLEAR GOAL.
I report for work but without a clear goal on what I should do or accomplish today. It is just that it's Friday and that for most people like me, we are kind of "out of mood" for work. And true enough, I haven't accomplished much. I wasn't proud of myself. But all excuses are equal. There is no good excuse or bad excuse. Those are all excuses.
Today, I learned something that I don't want to experience again. From all the books I've read, I should have known better.
I can't get my thoughts straight and I can't work effectively. It was disappointing.
But then I remembered a challenge I put myself into last Tuesday. No complaining and no negative thoughts for one week. I've failed already but I will still try.
Most people will say that positive thinking will get you no where. On second thought, what would I have to lose if I will replace negative thoughts with positive one? I want to be an accomplished person Living the Good Life, hence from now on, I will be thinking that "I am an accomplished person."
Addendum: As I revisit this post, there's something that I realized which needs to be corrected. Yes, it might seem that there's nothing to lose with positive thinking. But thanks to Mr. Jef Menguin, now I realized that although positive thinking may not be that harmful, continuous exposure to it may lead to God fading in the background. And instead, focusing on our own. I stand corrected. Now, rather than saying "I am an accomplished person," I rather say, "If God is with me, who is against me? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "
