    where is the most of ur life being spent ?

    the below is what i got from this coach mike whom i have been receiving inspiring msgs from for like really long time mins ago when i was sitting in front of my com wondering whether or not what i wanted to do is the right path to be on . i take this msg as a divine one , and i decided to take his advice again and to live in the GN of belief and action instead of FEAR AND DOUBT .
     
    yes , get on the ball to see what happens ...
     
    Dear tony,

    Such an important choice.

    So important.

    "Mike, I don't get it, can you explain?"

    Absolutely amigo.

    In every moment, we have TWO different choices we can make.

    Many times, many of us, forget about the '2nd way.'

    Let me explain.

    For the most part we're 'sold' a specific mass mindset.

    Our institutions, environment, and media all have a hand in
    it.

    Included in this 'mass mindset' is:

    Worry.

    Doubt.

    Fear.

    Anxiety.

    Guilt.

    Blame.

    Many times we doubt ourselves too much, worry too much, and
    live too often in fear.

    Many times we grew up in this environment and we forgot we
    have a choice.

    Pick up any biography. Read any success story. Those who
    have unleashed their greatness DID NOT 'live' in this
    mindset.

    Not that they didn't have fears, but they didn't 'live'
    there.

    Understood?

    Great.

    Onward.

    "Well Mike, where did they 'live'?

    Good question.

    They live in a LAND I call 'GREATNESS NATION'.

    When you 'live' in 'GN', your mindset moves to:

    Courage.

    Power.

    Clarity.

    Understanding.

    Focus.

    Desire.

    Belief.

    Persistence.

    Service.

    Let's keep going.

    You in tony?

    Good.

    I don't know about you, but to me, it's very easy to live
    in fear and doubt.

    I've been working on myself for years, reducing the amount
    of time I spend there.

    Let me ask you this question.

    Where do you spend most of your time?

    In the mindset of fear or living in the land called
    'GREATNESS NATION'?

    Do this today.

    Increase your awareness.

    When your shoulders are about to slump, your facial
    expression goes sour and you're ready to get upset, make a
    different choice.

    Choose courage. Choose power. Choose to live in Greatness
    Nation.

    Understand this. Your best self is ALWAYS welcome there,
    got it?

    In this moment ONLY, believe in yourself. Right now.

    Great job! Have a great day.

    Your Coach,

    Michael

    win CHINA ?!

    “WIN CHINA ”

    yeah , it sounds kinda big , it might be  , a big shot that can take myself and my career to the next level where i can possibly hit it big :)

     

    i used to think participating in TV shows like that was really lame , and i never would have imagined in a million years that i would be willing to become one of those who would put himself out there being judged by a bunch of successful entrepreneurs . i know they are big , but they are total strangers ...

     

    however, this is something im gonna do this month and i know this is what i v wanted to do ,  otherwise i wouldnt have paid 4 grand for my new suit even though i know id feel like a fish outta water in it . i mean the feeling is kinda inexplicable and i kinda understand that my subconscious wants to do it and i just let it lead the way ... im hoping im gonna do the right thing that i wont regret .

     

    honestly , i feel like my head isnt just in it , kinda distracted by something else or someone else , i m not sure of , it seems and sounds like something iv been looking forward to , i mean ud be excited too if i told u the reward is like 10 million rmb . kinda huge and amazing huh ? i just feel less excited than i expected , i know its not , definitely not a good sign . maybe deep down inside i realize that the odds of me winning this game is close to zero , hey , dont judge me , its not that i lack confidence or something , i dont know , just feel like its not something you can win by showing the best part of you or what you are made of , maybe it all comes down to damn luck and i just dont think i have it .

     

    those who i shared this news with keep asking me whether or not i have done any prepping for it .honestly , what kinda preparation do you think i can make ? start reading any successful or business related books that i can get my hands on ? or mapping out a business plan that iv always wanted to get off the ground ? i dont know , its just not somethiing you can do overnight . speaking of business ideas , i mean the kinda one that excites me , there has always been only one thing that iv been intoxicated with . which is what i have said before to many of my friends and here . motivational speaker ... im a strong bliever that im a natural and i was born to motivate people and make a positive differnece in others lives . this is life , isnt it , you know this is what you were meant to do , but you need to find a way to start doing it , what would success mean if you could jsut start doing what you think you were born to do . it'd obviously mean nothing .

     

    i know English teaching and training is my forte . i m kinda talented in that regard which i know for sure . like i said , i just cant see myself getting where i wanna get to doing that shit forever , i might have started to feel comfortable being where im at and i know i need to step outside the comfort zone and start doing shit that can actually help stretch msyelf . i like teaching , it can bring in money that i need to handle the basics on a consistent basis , i honestly feel lucky cos teaching on the side or running a business like this actually gives me a lot of time and freedom to explore what im really passionate about , i get to work flexible schedule , i get to sit back and just chill when i really want to . and most importantly , i get to get dinner ready for my wife the min she gets home after work .. and i get to be around my pet dog who needs constant love and attention . i should feel blessed to have all those things that i know most of us have always dreamt of , the kidna free lifestyle , even though im no where near financially free , but im financially ok . this is what my current life is like but i dont feel content , i know it for a fact , or i wouldnt be feeling the way im . most of the time im feeling scary and discontent , cos im not even close to being the guy iv wanted to be .

     

    i know its not easy , and im convinced there is still a long way to go . im not desperate , i just wanna make sure that iv been on the right path . the path that eventually towards becoming a motivaitonal speaker . teaching might be the only thing that is directly related to that , you get uself in front of people sharing with them what you think is important . English is just what i deliver , i mean at least doing that provides me with tons of chances to practice delivering right ? i mean i know there is somehting more and something more meaningful and deeper i want to share with people , and i also wanna help those who might feel lost and empty find and unleash the passion and greatness . i know it sounds like something that is not concrete . but i dont think so at all , i feel strongly that this is something everyone needs to learn , its actually a skill instead that our school neglects to teach ... look at ourselves and our lives , how many of us are living the life they want and how many of us are actually with the ones they are in love with ?  very few ... who lives the life that he / she deserves .

     

    iv been working on it in the hopes that i will be able to share with thousands , or even millions of people out there with something of value that can positively impact their lives couple of years from now .

     

    i know i shouldnt be driving myself as hard as im . id be stressed out pretty soon . i just feel the strong sense of urgency , the kinda feeling you need to have if you wanna WIN ...

     

    if you give up , you dont stand a chance ... so never ever give up Tony...

    feel insignificant ...and lost

    every now and then , this kinda feeling hits me in the middle of nowhere and really gets my button pushed . whenever it happens , i would like to be introspective and think more about tomorrow .
     
    clearly im not happy with where im at and how far i'v gone so far . i should be doing better than im and should have accomplished more than i have . being in a big city like shanghai with nothing handed to me makes me feel like im totally insignificant and lost from time to time . why do i have to rethink the path i have been on and why is it that iv always found myself being lost like im . this feeling sucks .
     
    i always thought i was in the right direction ...
     
    u c ,,, im even having a hard time keeping on journaling ...
     
    im convinced where i wanna get , however , unclear on how to get there ...maybe i really need to and should move myself outta the comfort zone , which is definitely a bad place to be .
     
    im feeling small all of a sudden . sounds pathetic huh ? i know ,,, there is nothing worse than feeling tiny ... i mean really tiny ,,, i know easy doesnt enter into a grownup world . is there anybody who can possibly guide me to the right direction toward the success that makes me feel the opposite ? id be thankful ...
     
    i know i might have been jumping from one idea to another , its not that i lack the ability to follow thru , maybe whatever iv come up with or iv said i would do doesnt align with what my heart really wants to do . iv always dreamt of becoming a motivaitonal speaker , i know that is the kinda person iv always wanted to be . i know it for a fact . im a huge fan of this and a big believer in this industry that can positively make a difference in others' lives . i know thats where i wanna end up . what feels frustrating is i just dont know HOW ...
     
    i remember sharing my passion with a friend of mine the other night , i remember that i said to him the biggest asset that a qualified motivational speaker should have is EXPERIENCE in every area of our lives . he doesnt need to be extremely financially successful , he needs to be convincing and articulate , well spoken etc, a good sense of humor is always a plus . what matters most is he needs to have something of value to share with and help make a positive difference in the world in some way big or small ...
     
    i know i should do something more ,i wish i could have access to anything more related to this industry , i mean anything more than what i can get my hands on now . i want something more concrete and surreal and closer ... that  can get me up and out ...what is it that can accomplish that ?
     
    going to America where there are tons of speakers that i can learn stuff from ?
     
    if i kept living the way im living , i would feel like a piece of shit who needs pumping up instead ... hell no ,this is the last thing i wanna end up being ...
     
    i wanna be someone big who feels signifiant and focused on what he is really passionate about ...
     
    if going to the states is gonna get my problem fixed . how the hell am i supposed to go about it ?  i mean there are lots of shit that needs to be taken into consideration ... what am i supposed to do with all the stuff in China? what about my loving wife and adorable pet dog ?
    what if ,,,i really hate this question ,,, what if i wonder what if at the end of my life ? i dont wanna end up with lots of regrets at the last stage of my life . maybe i should just do it .
    should i ?
     
    my God ,  i need help ...
     
    i need to be done with the way im living my life ...cause im fed up with it , cause its going nowhere near where i wanna get . fuck , im not even close
     
    i need to get my ass into gear and get on the ball
     
    i need to get the fucking ball rolling
     
    i need to stop thinking and start doing
     
    i need to stop whining and start moving forward with my life assignment
     
    its time tony, to step up ...
     
    there has never been and will never be a better time to get it started than now ...
     
    GET TONY outta TONY'S way ... TONY, im sorry , but i really feel the need to ask u to Fuck off ...

    envy (quoted)

    Envy

    Recently, I read an article from Careerbuilder.com about the Seven Deadly Workplace Sins. Two days ago, I gave you my take on Pride. This morning, it’s all about Envy.

    Jealousy is stupid. It is a waste of time and it’s destructive. Nothing good can ever come of it, so there’s definitely no room for it in the workplace. If a co-worker gets a project or a promotion that you wanted, then don’t spend time stewing over it or lamenting that it should’ve been yours. Instead, turn the opportunity around.

    Use the situation to motivate yourself to work harder, to achieve more so that next time you’ll be the one who gets the chance to make the big deal or who gets the big client or the big raise.

    In addition, if your peers see that you are envious of their success, it will do nothing but create a rift between you and that creates an unhealthy working environment. You have to work as a team and that just can’t happen when there’s an underpinning of resentment.

    Use someone else’s success to fuel your own motivation.
