C’s Focus

I really cannot afford to be undecided and losing focus. I need to crank up my project so I can reap the rewards faster.

Today, I’ll focus on creation, building and all activities that will form the foundation for revenue generation. Of course, I still have to take a few minutes, ok.. a few seconds rest and I have to have lunch and much times in the afternoon

Ok, back to work. Just need to document my activities today so I won’t lose …. ok you now.. FOCUS!

Wow! I’m in my usual self again- losing focus …

For the past 2 months, I’ve been doing a project that has a target that in 2 months, the project would start to show progress and start producing revenue. Well, for the past week, I lost focus and have been trying to incorporate new processes that I have not planned nor taught about for project execution. With my project’s progress, I know that has a big impact.

Ok. Time to exert more effort to stay in focus. No more experimenting (for now) but just follow what I have in my plan and then tweak or improve on it at a later stage of the project.

Back to my old plan ….

Now I now how it is to “work” for you passion and not work for money. Working for money is good. It pays the rent and pays your day-to-day expenses. But working for your passion goes beyond that. It goes beyond explaining.

Why so? Why would one person work for his/her passion till the wee hours of the morning? No need to take a 15-minute break, no need to take a weekend and still work as perfectly sane and productive as usual. I cannot and dare not explain.

However, I should also take caution. Working crazy hours, even for my passion might still be destructive. I need to balance my life between work and personal life. Or is there something to balance? Is my work also my personal life? Have I been merging my “work” with my personal life?

I will also take some time to rest. Soon.. very soon …

It’s September 11, a time for remembering not only the horror that took place on that day four years ago, but also for the heroism of people of all walks of life, from all nationalities living and visiting the US.

An ordinary and typical morning, attending a conference call in Midtown Manhattan turned into a day of disaster, horror, fear, pain, our great loss and lives forever changed.

Let’s all remember the victims of this tragic event.

This is a new day for me- professionally and personally.

I’m out of the corporate world, officially today.

Out of the world that I have been in and lived in, for the most part of my adult life.

Don’t get me wrong, my corporate life has been blessed and I’m grateful for all the opportunities and experiences that the corporate life brought me. But I just feel that my life should go on …

Go on- go forward as I’ve wanted it to be …

Pursue the “why” -

…… that will make my life full
…… that will bring benefit to the society that I live in

It’s a funny feeling- a mixed feeling of relief and anticipation of

…. relief - that I may not be able to have the time and energy and focus
……… anticipation - on what I can produce outside the box of a corporate office…

Out of the box of processes and procedures…
Out of the box of doing things most for the sake of profitability …
Out of the box of doing things what I’m supposed to do
Out of the box of what’s politically correct and what’s not …..

It’s a little scary to be out in the world with no other talent or experience aside from what I learned within my box.

Is there life beyond my work?
Is there life beyond my comfort zone?

This new journey will tell that story… this journey will show me…

In the meantime, I need to get back to reality.

I need to pack all my worldly belongings - sort them out -

Throw or give out things I do not need ..

Pack things I need for a simple life …

Save things I need if I need to get back to my former life ….

Who knows? This might be the journey that I’ve been wanting to do all my life …
