We grew up choosing the educational course that promised would make us most money and potential advancement. We just didn't follow our passion in life. In the end many ended up miserable and unfulfilled.
One of the things I've learned from people who are truly successful is that they are passionate about what they do. The greatest sportsman and actors are passionate about their craft. So the lesson they teach is find what you are passionate about and just do it. You won't have a problem focusing because you'll be doing what you love.
People who are passionate about something, spend as much time around what they love as possible. So to them, work is no longer work, work becomes fun, and who doesn't love to have fun.
Find a quiet place by yourself, close your eyes, and focus on what you are passionate about.
What would you do all day long if you could, if you are thinking about sleep, your passion for life isn't strong enough.
Discover your passion and you'll find your fortune.

Be passionate about what you do
Many of us when we were young were passionate about everything that we do. We loved painting, playing, reading our favourite books, running, and using our imaginations to create fabulous, fantastic worlds.
Next time question then is why, as we get older do we find it so hard to focus on fun?
What is the event that changed us as we grow up?
Personally I believe what changes is that many adults have forgotten how to have fun. That includes me. Most of us take life so seriously that we forget that the journey is a large part of what makes the goal so precious. If you find no joy in the journey, there is a good chance in time you'll find no joy in the goal.

Motivation at the street
A former colleague of mine has decided to go ahead to set up his own business. He left my present company about 2 years ago to pursue a career in IT which is a total stranger to me sometimes.
He was always the brightest learner in my department.Quick to learn, blessed with good memory and a passion to provide good customer support to my project team at all times. Everyone of us likes him and it was sad to hear him leaving the company at that time.
Recently I met him on the streets and we chatted over coffee. He had since set up his own web design company as he felt there is growing web demand here in this country. I did applaud his decision to go after his dream but he seems a little lack of confidence at this time as he fears of falling on his face and having to crawl back, defeated.
I told him nobody really failed in life. We all get what we go after – without fail. The difference between positive and negative thinkers is that the positive thinker goes after what they want, while the negative thinker, more times than not, accepts whatever comes along.
So all of us need to believe that we can achieve and have that passion to go for it. Just be prepared to face the tougher challenges on the way to living our definition of success.
Quite strangely, I'm surprised I can give such a pep talk to someone. Maybe I can be a motivator now!

Striving to improve
One thing I have learned of being positive is that you can attract more friends. And most amazingly, most of the people around you are positive-minded even though there are some cynics who always like to retort you when you make a positive forecast of something.
A couple of years ago, I was very negative person. People dislikes me I guess and I know that. That's why I became more negative. Somethings I felt I was ostracised. However, through Marie Callas, I gradually looked into my behaviour and mental process and decided that I need to change something so that I can be at peace with myself.
What I learn from Marie Callas was that when I was thinking negatively, I forced myself to think about something good that has happened to me recently. Come on, I strongly believe no matter how bad your life is, there ought to have something little spisodes in life that cheer you up, even for just a few minutes. Yeah, focus on that! It's the life energy that you should tap on and you go on from there.
If you can, paint these success stories in your mind. We all need to remember these little waves of optimism and positive energy. The more you do it, the better you will get at it.

Wishes and more wishes
Recently I received psychic Marie Callas' latest letter. I looked through with great interest becauuse this is something I have not seen before.
In this letter, Marie Callas seems to understand my feelings because she says through her, I can fulfil seven wishes. Everyone has the wishes in their mind so do I. My wishes are to have more riches, peace to my family, and peace to the world.
I shall not go into the details of each wish as it is very personal and I don't want to reveal them here. Wish has to be specific. It is better than you can state the amount that you need, the time, the place and visualise your wishes in great amazing clarity as if they are right in front of you. Please do not give vague wish as they will not come to you as clear as you want to be, because the heaven does not know what is it that you are looking for, hence you may experience disappointments.
Marie Callas says she'd help me to get my 7 wishes come true. I wrote them down on a the paper and return it to her together with my cheque. I feel great and peaceful after that because I trust Marie Callas.

First Malaysian to reach space
It's really big news here filled with patriotic pride and achievement as a nation together!
Yes, we have our first astronaut.
After months of planning and training, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be launching to space soon from Kazakhstan with astronauts from Russia. He will be embarking on a ten-day mission and will return on 21st October.
“It’s a small step for me, but a great leap for the Malaysian people,’’ Dr Sheikh Muszaphar.
There is intense media coverage among all the TV stations here and you also watch the launch over Astro.
Despite all the negative stories recently, this is really a big positive news for all of us. It's nice to read something as inspirational over the papers rather than those depressing criminal exploits.
Proud day for all Malaysians.

Create the life you most want and value.
"Life sucks!"
How often we hear that?
A lot of times, don't you think so, especially when you yourself are feeling that way, you'd realise many people are sulking over their own states of life too. Well, what do the mean when people exclaim that?
My understand would be that they feel unfair when someone else they know happen to have the luck to get the "good" things in life, while they have to slog it out without avail. I know, because this common human emotions.
Now the good news, thanks to Marie Callas wisdom!
We have the control of our own destiny, only if you are hungry enough!
Where our power lies is in focusing on what we do want rather than wallowing in what we don't! We are in charge of what we think about, talk about and do. That's the truth.
This world is getting faster and faster, especially in rapidly developing country like Malaysia, more people are going to be left behind, more chaos are appearing in the society, just read what's reported in the papers. No point drowning yourself in sorrow and expect sympathy. Instead, your life is not your circumstances.
You decide how to respond to circumstances and create the life you most want and value.

A quiet stream nearby
How I wish I have this stream at the back of my house where I can hear the flow of the stream and look at the clear water full of little fish when I'm feeling bored.Our interaction with nature is getting less and less in this hectic life hence it will be good to have something natural with you at touching distance with travelling far to enjoy it.I remember when I was young, my grandmother's house had something like this nearby her old house before it was torn down and replaced by an highway. Sad isn't it. Really miss those worries free days in the childhood. Even during days,with heavy rainfall, the stream wouldn't flood, unlike now, it floods easily. Somewhere is wrong with the man and the nature definitely.

Creating Abundance
Creating abundance in your life, means taking responsibility for what you are attracting into it. When you turn, "responsibility" around, it asks the question, "What is your ability to respond?"
We are instantly attracting to us, whatever we focus on and respond to.
Positive and negative thoughts from us, are sent out into the universe, every which way. The law of attraction is not built to censor the positive, or negative. It simply works on one main principle. "Like, attracts like."
Begin by not engaging your negative feelings with frustration and anger, or rage.
Stop putting your energy into, what you don't like, don't want; and begin responding to your positive thoughts, with intention. In this way, you will begin to create abundance for yourself. It's not what happens to you, in life; it is taking responsibility for how you respond to it. This is the real power, to create abundance in your life.
Most of us, believe money would equate to, abundance. And yet, money, by itself, is nothing more than a tool to acquire a new home, or car.
Begin defining, what abundance equates, to you. Keep the list and focus on it three times a day. It's ok to change the list as you go over it. This is normal.
If you want a new house, then begin defining what kind of house you really want. Get specific, then focus with intention, and believe you will have this. Let the law of attraction begin working for you.
Learn to create abundance, by practicing these three steps everyday.
