Stephen Covey in his popular book, 7 habits of highly effective people mentioned about "Begin with the end in mind". The End or the vision as others call it are what gives us hope, help us stay on track especially when we are feeling down and things are not moving the way we want it to be. This concept of beginning with the END in mind may appear common sense yet in real life, it is not commonly practised. Many of us struggled in our journey to achieve what we want, be it career, relationship, money, love and often we beat ourselves up for not reaching it. We may say things like :
If only I am more hardworking, I would be able to..............
How come I can't be like John, he is so calm and steady...........
That guy is successful because he has good network, no big deal !!!
Had it not been her looks, I am sure she won't be the top salesperson
Little did we realise that these words said reflects our inner thoughts - our sense of self worth and esteem. We believe that success is out there and those guys got lucky, that's all and you are merely waiting for your luck to change. Is that true? Deep down within us, there is a stinging sense of envy, bitterness and even anger with ourselves. Putting the blame on others make us feel better, albeit temporarily. Desmond has observed these recurring patterns in many people, including himself before he became a relationship coach. He realised that was an easy way out, venting at someone to relieve stress and unhappiness, making negative comments like "IF ONLY" and not taking concrete actions to change one's attitude.
Don't wait for that "some day" to come! Time is far too precious to waste it and there are plenty of opportunities, dreams and great ideas awaiting to be tap on.. Today is your day!! Seize the moment!! Say to yourself:
I am successful in your career, family and love life!
I have the job promotion you always wanted!
I have the desired partner in your life!
I am great at communicating with people!
I have written that book you always wanted, travel to that country you wished and live the kind of life you wanted .................
The list goes on. But will you ? Competence is not lacking in most of us but it is the person who says; I will and go on to get things done while the other guy who says I can but did nothing that falls behind. Great Leaders have visions and are bold in pursuing what they believe it in. They falter and make mistakes as well. Yet it is that fighting spirit of not giving up that keep them going till the end.
The founder of EIMI Group, Desmond Chua had his fair share of roller coaster rides in both his career and relationships, facing rejections, disappointment, betrayal and had experienced near death incidents twice in his life. He firmly believes each of us has something valuable to contribute to the world and not merely exist as a digit of the population statistics. It is this diversity and cross-pollination of ideas and services that we offer that make this world a vibrant and exciting place to live in.
Desmond has a simple mission : he wants to help people to lead a life filled with joy, love and fulfilment. Through his workshop, books and coaching sessions, articles he wrote, he hopes to inspire more people to be aware of their inner strength and beauty. At its appointed time,they will reach the "AHA" moment as if awaken from a deep sleep and go on to conquer dreams and satisfy their deepest desires. They will leave a legacy behind and continue to tell stories of their own success to their children, friends and loved ones............
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow
for other's good and melt at other's woe.
