Ever had that feeling of being both excited yet scared at the same time? The step of moving towards the unknown? Or even when you feel that you are prepared, and yet another voice tells you that you may not have prepared enough?

Well, I faced all these emotions the past three months and I will never forget June, July and August 2011.

“IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. ” – Tales of Two Cities, Charles Dicken

There were barriers and challenges placed to derail me . . . and I fought to stay my path

Indeed it was the best of times, and also the worst of times. Let me list down some of the things that happened in those two months . . .

• I finished my first in-camp training as a military reservist.
• My active income was delayed.
• I founded and started up a company with my brother.
• I kick-started a full-day intensive workshop with a great team of incredible business partners and close friends.
• My active income was delayed . . .  yet again.
• I went on a weekend trip to Sentosa, Singapore, and stayed in a resort with loved ones.
• I left an existing company because of down-sizing.
• I was accused by a friend of not fulfilling my part of a deal.
• I found new friends.
• My baby girl said she loved me . . . again!
• My father told me he wanted to quit his frustrating job and retire.
• My works were rejected during a project interview.
• I went on a weekend trip to Bintan, Indonesia and stayed in a luxurious villa with loved ones.
• I volunteered as my mentor’s assistant in a NLP session.
• I saw more than 10 of my books still left on the shelf.
• I was approached by acquaintances who wanted to help me in the development of my company.
• I re-discovered my purpose and created new directions in life.
• My customer ordered a huge amount of products from me.
• My newest book is being released in November 2011.
•  . . . and many more to come.

Having listed down most of the things . . . I now realise that life continues to be great BECAUSE of things that happen to me. And things happen to me because of the Law of Attraction. And things get attracted to me because I take action.

Remember, attrACTION. You need solid action for things to be attracted to you! It’s never enough to just plan, and plan. Because no battle plan ever survived the first contact. But having said that, you need to be just 60-70% prepared with ample training, contingency plans, having a focused-end in sight. You then simply push yourself off the cliff. And SOAR.

It may be the same for you too. Please allow me to ask you, to ask yourself this question,

What do I want to Manifest in my life today?

cheers,
