Lever Found!!

"Give me a lever long enough & a prop strong enough. I can single-handedly move the world", Archimedes

"The greatest leverage u can create for urself is the pain that comes from inside, not outside. Knowing that u have failed to live up to ur own standards for ur life is the ultimate pain"

Love..Under Circumstances

I believe that a love feeling can be born under the right circumstances with someone you never even thought you'd fall for. All I'm saying here is that sometimes you pass by someone without even noticing him then under a certain circumstance like joining the same book club for example or even coming to rescue you from a hideous danger, then voila it happens.

I don't believe in love at first sight but I believe that life conspires and creates certain situations for you to encounter your right circumstance ;)

My Giant within (Cont'd)

A belief is an emotion based on many references whether it's a TV AD or a friend's opinion or a personal experiences ending to things we've imagined vividly.

So a belief is a "feeling" which lead us to the conclusion: you can easily change it, but there's a tricky thing as well, when you believe something, we no longer question it anymore. If we scrutinize many beliefs we have, we'll find that we unconsciously believed for years what was based on a false set of presuppositions.

A very good example I read in that book:
The "QWERTY" is a set of letters on your keyboard. It spells the very first row of letters on your keyboard. Have you asked yourself, y that keyboard standard is so globally known?. Most people never questioned that set up cos they have been told that this setting is the best in order to speed your typing.

I'll tell you why. It's something I found funny:
The "QWERTY" is actually about the most inefficient configuration!!!!. It was deliberately designed to slow down the human typist, simply cos at that time the typewriter parts moved so slowly in order to prevent jamming if you typed too fast.... lol
The "QWERTY" is been used for 120 years now.

Can you see? how we can, falsely, be holding to the wrong belief for so long, simply cos we took a surrounding reference as our sole guide & we never question or validate that reference.

"All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs"

My Belief Reference :) : "Awaken the Giant Within", Anthony Robbins.

Ready or not?!

Am I ready for tying the knot? Am I ready for a commitment?. I am sorry I am not. Someone actually told me to my face that I have a fear of commitment. May be it's true.

But I know I am ready to make some major changes in my life, ready to take some serious steps but still sorry no marriage involved. It's just that I've encountered many happenings that shaped my mind concerning marriage. I am convinced I am not a marriage type material. I no longer compromise you see, I don't sacrifice anything, I don't show my feelings that easily either. I think it's fair enough after seeing all those married couples around me and after being introduced to a very ugly face of betrayal & deception. I think it's flattery to have many admirers though :)

On a happier note, I believe now I am mature enough to be more independent, may be take my shot abroad. I hope I can make it, that can be one of my dreams coming true.

So sorry again I guess it will be a one girl's show for a while. I wish you happiness.

Living the moment

I am afraid I am not living my moment. I either look at the past much or hope for a better future. I should learn that to live is to enjoy the current moment. No use there in the past and the future won't be a breakthrough. I will live my moment from now on.

My Giant within

I've been reading "Awaken the Giant Within" for Anthony Robbins, it's a self-help type of books. I'm actually still in the first chapters.

It's all about how to create a lasting change through three steps:
1) Raise your standards
2) Change your limiting beliefs
3) Change your strategy

Wanting to change is not enough, it's the commitment that we all fail to keep. Now moving to a very important aspect: Emotional mastery, according to Robbins Virtually everything we do is to change the way we feel. Too many of us leave ourselves at the mercy of outside events over which we may have no control, failing to take charge of our emotion. I liked that part much.

I think I'll write more about that book as I read on.

The must have Regrets

The complex me continues to shine I guess. Am I right or wrong?
I’m wondering, but since many people gave me that comment on being complex then I must be one!

I no longer fight people wrong beliefs since I get really confused at times. Relocating the right beliefs is such a hard job indeed.

I witnessed so many people alter from being totally honest people into totally mischievous ones. But does it happen gradually or all of a sudden, it doesn’t matter. My point is many people fool themselves falsely into believing they are taking the right path, and it’s so easy to convince yourself by the way. At the end of that falsely taken road you have to see the right one, after you getting a good hit I guess.

When does regret fit in as a good thing to do?, regrets are always considered a waste of time but to me I see it as a stand point you need to recall things you were fooling yourself and yes regret it much so you won’t do the same mistake twice. If you haven't had any regrets yet, then you are still fooled.

I end this entry with this do3aa:
(اللهم ارنا الحق حقاً وارزقنا اتباعه وارنا الباطل باطلاً وارزقنا اجتنابه)

Happy Anniversary

Just marking today as a happy anniversary & looking back: life has made me a tougher person & it showed me that I've gained a lot.

الحمد لله رب العالمين
