3 weeks into my sabatical. No work....No stress.....and NO INCOME..!! well its my own doing..and i guess i am prepared for it. Can i seriously do this for 2 years..?? YES I CAN!!! hehehe. But at the same time i want to achieve things. I want to learn to do sales and be successful at it. I want to wait at tables and provide excellent service (I miss that!!). I want to start an online Biz so can start earning income without leaving home much. I want to learn broking to earn big money and learn the ropes of bisnes...AND I want to open and run my own Sports Conditioning Centre successfully.......HHhmmmmm...
What to do...What to do..?? What to do..??
Sigh...well i guess i just have to take a step back and start writing down my goals. After that do what i always do.
Wait for the RIGHT TIME for such opportunities to happen.
People always say that opportunity comes once in a lifetime and that it should NEVER be overlooked and to grab it with both hands when it comes.
I don't think so. Sad for those that feel and believe such words. I much prefer to believe what Sir Richard Branson says. "Opportunities are like buses, they come one after another. Just hop onto the one that will take you to your destination."
I am going to take my break.....I am going to travel the world and write about my experience and i will do all that i want to do when the time is PERFECT..!!! It has never failed me before..and it will never fail me in the future.
Keep the faith.

You quit !!!???
I quit. Yes, thats what i tell ppl when they ask me if i am still working with my former employer. And their next question would certainly be,"You QUIT!!?? But Why!!??".
And my answers would be the same. I want more time, i want to set up my own business, i want to travel. But the real answer is...I am sick and tired of working. I NEED A BREAK!!! Don't get me wrong, I love what i do, I enjoy helping people get better from their aches and pains to finally get back to their normal way of life and activites. But its downright tiring having to manuevre thru the endless audits and checks and beaurocracy. I can't take it anymore. So...what did i do...I quit.
It was a bittersweet experience leaving my job, the work i do and the colleagues that had grown to be good friends. I love the lot, but my life is important and it needs its sustenance. I need to travel, i need to read, i need to grow, and most of all, I NEED TO REST.
I am glad i left, but at the same time i am sad to leave. Well, some things have to be sacrificed for others. I made the choice and will stick to it.
Now, it has been 17 days since i left the job that i hold dear. And i am enjoying every minute of it. It feels great to have nothing to do. I can read, go about doing what i want to do, go to the gym, relax, day dream and plan ahead for trips around the world.
People will be asking,"how do you sustain a living?, how do you earn an income?, you have that much savings?". All i can do is smile and stay positive. I have made plans on alternative ways of earning an income and am doing everything in my powers to be successful in it. I am grateful to be blessed with someone that has the knowledge to earn a living without working, in the traditonal and formal way, and she has agreed to be my mentor.
Not only is she my mentor. She is my inspiration and i aspire to be as successful as she is. I could not have found a better candidate to be my life partner. All this in another update.
For now, i have something which i feel everyone should follow and absorbed into their lives. Make it a living promise to yourself. Better still, make it a lifetsyle :
NEVER LET GO OF YOUR DREAMS!!!
Have the belief that you can achieve anything you desire and that believe will manifest into reality. Aspire for something greater than the present and it shall be yours.
"Seek and you shall find ; Ask and it shall be given" or and another thing
"WORK SHOULD NEVER BE LIFE, LIFE SHOULD NEVER BE WORK!!"

What a year...!!!
What a year it has been..!! 2007 was full of happenings...exciting and mundane...highs and lows. I have travelled up the high mountain of success and confidence and to the low valleys of sorrows and despair. It was really a time of soul searching and discovery.
NOW!!! 2008...is and will be unlike 2007. Every new year, all of us make new resolutions and most of us do not hold fast to it. Hehehe..me included....UNTIL NOW!!
I realised that, resolutions should never be made at the beginning of a new year nor should it be made at the end of the old year. ( So passe)..It should and must be made...when we..as the fickle creatures with minds that we are....feel and believe strongly about the change we want and desire in our lives. That means having passion for something we believe in. It could be anything. A new habit..breaking an old habit. Being more patient...being more friendly. Quit smoking... Start exercising.
It may not all be good in other's eyes..but its our lives. We should, as much as possible dictate how we want to live and how happy we want to be, living it. Barring emotional or physical pains to others, of course.
I have found my passions and lived it to achieve my dreams and ambitions in the past. Now I will embark on another quest to fulfill my passion and desires. It took me 2 years to formulate and plan. 2 years to prepare. And 2 years to decide if it was really something i wanted.
2 years on...i am now without a job. I am no longer practising what i love so much. No longer doing what i left the airlines for. No longer doing what i worked so hard to achieve. And it was worth every ounce of mental and physical energy to get where I am now. Now comes the hard work and belief that i can achieve what i set out to do.
It has been a long year indeed, and the new year does not promise me anything. What the new year does is give me the same 12 months that everyone else gets with the same holidays and "timely" bills to be paid. such is the economics of life. What is different though..is ME. Like the catch-phrase..."You can't build S_CCESS without U". And thats what i am going to be.
Successful....wealthy...stress free...and happy. And all this boils down to one thing... Passion.
However, everyone has a different understanding and definition of success.
That will be explained in another time and place.
For now..i am glad to be back blogging..even though my last blog was only 3 sessions.
Till wee meet again....very soon.
