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

Javier

I have been learning a lot of stuff during the past few years through my pursue of becoming successful in life. The most important thing is that you must feel the success in yourself as success itself can means a lot of stuff in terms of health, monetary rewards, relationship and many many more.

You may have heard from a lot of successful people that reading personal development book aka self-help books help in their progress towards being successful in life. Personally, I totally agreed with this above statement as my journey to success started through reading books.

Recently, I have read one of my mentor blog post on The Power of Daily Incremental. The blog post is about spending 15-20 minutes of your time daily to read books that can help to improve yourself and it only takes 1 percent of your day. After reading and watching the video in the blog post, it sparks my mind as it talks about learning through reading books from your neighborhood library. I am going to share with you what I have learned from the often visits of my local library.

This is a concept that I realized while trying to find the books I want to borrow from the library. So what is the concept that I want to share with all of you who are reading this post that I felt is very important? While trying to find a particular popular book in the library, I will always visit the library to try my luck to see whether someone else has returned the book. However, I did not manage to catch the book in time that caused me having to wait again for the next person to return. I am not willing to spend the money to reserve the book and in the end, before the person returned the book, someone else had already reserved the book and I have to wait again for that person to return before I can borrow. I have this belief that I will be able to borrow the book somehow or rather as the book will never be removed from the library and I managed to get hold of the book after few months of pursuing.

To make long story short, what I’m trying to get to you is that you can relate my above incident with what you are trying to achieve in your life. As all of us know that becoming successful in life is definitely achievable as so many people has already done it before us, if we are persistent and keep on pursuing our success journey, we will definitely be able to achieve whatever we want in our lives. You can definitely cut short the process if you are willing to pay the price (the reserved fees that I did not put initially) but no matter what, if you keep on persist, you will definitely get what you want.

Cheers

P.S This is what I have learned from my visits to the library, if you have any learning experiences too, do share with us here in the comments area.

P.P.S Find out whether you can check the loan status of your library books through the internet, please do not go and check at the library unless you want to borrow other books too as this may be a waste of precious time. (Didn’t know can check from internet until much visits…)

Recently, I have watched this movie called Facing the Giants which is recommended by one of my mentors to be persistent with ourselves in order to succeed in what we want to achieve in our life. From this movie, I realized that we should not under-estimate our own limits as our own belief system is the real thing that is stopping ourselves from reaching our full potentials.

Watch the youtube video below and you will understand what I mean:

It is very important that we must have faith in ourselves or towards some higher power that we will achieve what we are seeking in our lives. The most important thing that I have realized from reading most self-help books is that we must have imagination. When the mind has a thought for something, ideas will be generated and we are slowly attracted to the thing we want in our lives. However, we must really take the right actions to get to the end results that we desired.

Anyway, you can catch the full movie on youtube as someone has uploaded it there and I really appreciate the uploader.

Here the youtube link to Facing the Giants full movie:

P.S. Share with me what you have learnt after watching the movie Facing the Giants. Enjoy the movie like what I did

Recently, I have re-started my running schedule after recovering from some common flu and cough. I have set a schedule to run 2 times a week on every wednesday and sunday night. The results of the running was quite cool as it made me feel more energetic compared to those days that I was ill. I have set a target for myself to increase 1 more round per week until I am able to build my stamina to actually run a marathon in the near future. The effect of adding 1 more round per week is actually quite uneasy for myself in the first place as I felt that I have a limiting belief that I will feel tired after running 6 rounds in the park which is equivalent to 2.4KM (IPPT Running Standard). However, I told myself that I must conquer my mind to achieve something for myself which I can be proud of.

Currently, I have reached the 8 rounds around the park schedule which is equivalent to about 3KM. I realized that I have to rebuild my body and belief system for myself as I felt that completing 3KM is so tiring now compared to my army days where 3KM run was a common thing to everyone in the camp as we did it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have to find back that energy level that I have during my army days in order to strive for what I what to achieve in my life.

Through running, I have learned something that we can fight directly which is the little voice in our head. When I am running, I realized that the little voice in my head will tell me to stop myself to rest for a while and I will feel that your legs starts to feel tired and hurting. However, I just keep on running and think about the financial freedom that I want to achieve. This really boost my energy level to keep me going for another round until I reach the target number of rounds that I should achieve for that particular week.

I will update more about building my belief through running again once I manage to reach that stage where I can take part in a marathon.

Cheers

Javier

Are you a comics lover? Even if you are not a comics lover, you may have heard or seen before a japanese manga comics. I’m actually a japanese animation lover and recently, I start to read about japanese manga comics because I wanted to find out about the story of the comics in advance. Normally, an animation is based on the comics itself unless the producer wants to make any adjustment to the storyline by cutting short on the animation.

In the world of comics, the artists can draw whatever storyline that he or she wants to happen as everything is based on the imagination of the artists. The sky is the limit and any character in the comics can get through tons of hardship and misery to achieve great rewards through years of persistence. The reason why I start to love to read japanese manga is because I can feel the persistence of the character and the energy level towards reaching their goals or mission in life. There is always a personal self belief in the main character of certain character that gives life towards the comics and this normally makes it a great comics for people to read about.

Personally, I love to read a few comics like Naruto, Captain Tsubasa and a few inspiring japanese manga comics. Its very important to choose the right comics to read as it will influence the belief system also. If you keep on reading comics that is showing that rich people are always the crooks, your sub-conscious mind will have the same kind of belief. I prefer to read comics that are inspiring and people who are chasing after their dreams. You will see the persistence in the character and the never say die attitude in them. Therefore, if you feel discourage about your future, go through some inspiring japanese manga comics to give you the energy to move forward and do not worry whether you may have language issue as japanese manga comics is normally translated into different languages. Nothing is impossible to those who are chasing after their dreams and the sky is the limit.

Here is one of the website which allows you to read japanese manga online:
