Who do you want to become?

How old are you? How old are your children? What is important to you? What is your status in the society? How is your relationship with your family? How many true friends do you have? What are those things that matter in your life?  Who do you want to become?

There are dashes/races/journey between the date we were born and the date we died. There are possibilities and opportunities and at the same time there are risks and threats. We must have a sense of what’s possible, a sense of what is it we would want for us. Ensure that those possibilities and opportunities are realized.

In these hectic modern days, priorities in our life often have been misaligned. How do we stay positive and have the right attitude? We need to ensure that we have the time, space and solitude for ourselves but still well connected and plugged with the world. Sound selfish?  Stop worrying and start living and make a difference with our life. Be courageous to acknowledge weaknesses and tap the unused potential. Leave footprints and legacy that others will follow.

Our future depends on many things, but mostly ourself. Though there is nothing wrong to choose successful people as our role models but at some point of time in our life we need to start draw our own, our chosen individual path. We are the ambassador, advocate and champion. Live the life we’ve imagined with a sense of purpose and aspiration.

Dream and Deliver. We can and we must have dreams.  We are responsible for dreaming about what is possible for us, dream really BIG. Thinking and dreaming about the future is integral to what we do, so we must be able to translate dreams into tangible strategies and plans. We must also be able to deliver. Remember that making things  happen is as important to us as being able to dream.

There are things in life for which we’ll never compromise. Health is clearly one of them but we do also need to have a balance life by having all the other aspects of life beside physical and health well taken care of. In order to achieve a balance life we must set goals in every aspects of life - Family & Home, Physical & Health, Mental & Educational, Financial & Career, Social & Cultural, Spiritual & Ethical ((C) 1960 Success Motivation International - The Wheel of Life ^(R)). But we can’t achieve what we can’t aim. Goal setting enables us to aim and eventually achieve successes and happiness. Goal setting and tracking make us always know what to do next. Goal setting is the fundamentals for success in business as well as in personal life. John Goddard set 127 items that he wants to achieve in his life when he was just 15; he accomplished 103 items when he was 47 and 109 items when he was 74.

From sensing to sense-making, it’s very important for us to find time to think about our goals in life, and be very clear in our minds how we want to also push our personal capabilities forward. The past provides experience for us to learn. The future is what we hope to accomplish. However, what we are doing now in the present time is the most important. We need now to start making significant decisions about where do we establish the control tower to drive and manage our growth for the next five to 10 years. Crystalize your thinking by continuously doing self evaluation and setting priorities, develop plan of action, sincere desire, supreme confidence, dogged determination

In the business world, there are new activities, new growth opportunities and new growth directions. Business is fast changing because of markets, technologies and new business models. Look at the Fortune 500 list, it’s a completely different list from the one 10 years ago. In every industry there are many new players. Yes, IBM is still there, Microsoft is still there, but what IBM and Microsoft choose to do today are quite different from  what they were doing five to ten years ago.

In a nutshell, this would be how we characterize what we do. We must be very clear in our minds that we want to make sure that from our dreams to our strategies and plans to what we can deliver, we optimise ourselves by tapping our unused potentials and look at or create opportunities and possibilities for growth.
