Last weekend, I went for a short overseas trip to batam with my girlfriend and friends to enjoy ourselves. The short trip refresh my spirit as I tend to start thinking of my progress with the results that I wanted to achieve and whether I am still on track of my 3 promises (goals) that I have set for myself at the start of this year.

After thinking through, I realized that I have been slacking behind these past few weeks as I have procrastinate on my running and some morning waking up habits to read a book.

For a quick update of my 3 promises for this year,
1) Prepare and participate in a 42KM Marathon
- have completed 16km run and need to sign up a next run so that I can force myself to start my running routine again

2) Read at least 15 self-help books
- Have completed 9 books currently, still short of 6

3) Make a consistent 4 figure income online and at least a 5 figure for one month
- only manage to make some CPA income and some clickbank income but it is still not consistent yet

Okay, back to the overseas batam trip, the resort that I went was Harris Batam Resort and I really enjoy myself over there as they have facilities like swimming pool, pool and billard table, table tennis areas, massage and spa, suana, bowling, gym, water polo, bicycle rental and many more. In our batam package, we also get to travel to the town area of Batam and it opened up my eyes when I see some of the slums areas of Indonesia. I feel grateful of what I have now and I should not really complain of what troubles that I’m facing now as my problems are not as big a problem compared to theirs. At the resort, one of the thing that I enjoyed was the live band performance during dinner as the host was quite engaging and fun. I do recommend you to go to Harris Batam Resort if you are planning for a short trip as it will really refresh your spirit and keep you going on your own journey to success.

Cheers

Here’s an update of my current running status, I am running a total of 12 rounds (about 4.8KM) and increasing every week. One of the reasons why I want to increase the number of rounds per week is to listen to what my inner voice is telling me when I’m feeling tired and at the same time training myself to build my belief system to achieve greater limit in my life.

Yesterday, I was running at around 11am which is near noon time and I can say its considered the most tiring run I have so far as the sun was draining my energy faster than expected. However, I managed to go through my target of running 12 rounds around the park without stopping.

During my 12 rounds run, I met a little gal who was learning how to ride a bicycle. Although her bicycle was having 4 wheels, she still seems to have a fear of riding the bicycle as she was cycling very slowly towards her dad. Suddenly, I had a memory recall of the time when I first learned how to ride a 2 wheels bicycle when I was primary 4. I could still recall it as it was one of my own personal achievement to learn how to ride a 2 wheels bicycle on my own. I could relate my feelings of learning how to ride a bicycle to what I am currently learning (Internet Marketing) as it do takes some time to learn how to do it correctly. I felt that the same scenario goes for learning how to cycle as when you do not know how to ride initially, you may feel that its very easy to do so when you see people cycling around you but when you tried it yourself, you find it hard to control the bicycle and you may even fear that you may fall and hurt yourself. However, once you master the skill of riding a bicycle, you will be riding it freely without any fear of not able to control it when you are on it.

You may engage someone to teach you how to cycle and cut short the learning curve but I realized that the most important part is that you must keep on stepping on your pedals to move forward by yourself in order to get the bicycle moving. A very important lesson that I myself learned from my memory recall of how I learn to cycle is that you may be fearful of falling and hurt yourself. However, do not let the fear of falling (failing) stop yourself from enjoying what may come once you master the skills. Visualize yourself that you have achieved the skills and enjoying yourself having that skills as this will push yourself from continuing trying even after a fall.

I will still continue to increase the number of running rounds per week and more updates will be done in this blog if I found any particular interesting learning experiences that I found along the way. Hope you learn something meaningful too in my journey to success.

Cheers
