@Soul Doctor: I hope okay lang mu contribute pud ko sa question above.
@jlodarl: My suggestion to you mam is to write a personal mission statement. Do you have one? Your personal mission statement summarizes your deepest values and principles, what's really important to you, who you really want to become, and what you really want to do and accomplish.
I've learned a lot from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" ni Stephen Covey. Like you, it's a challenge for me too, to write my own mission statement and to set goals and act on them; to be constantly motivated and passionate about my dreams and plans, etc. It's a day to day challenge, but I like it hehe... So I suggest you pick the book up, if you haven't already read it.
Anyway, I really believe having our own mission statement is very important. We won't have any sense of direction and purpose if we don't have one. Organizations, for example private companies, have mission statements, without one they won't have any direction, they will fail in the venture.
After writing our own mission statement we must plan and set goals based on it. It helps a lot also if our goals are specific and time-bound. We must clearly picture them out and set deadlines, and each and every day we must do something to achieve that particular goal. "We don't have to do a thousand things. We just have to do something," said Anthony Robbins. So we must do something, even just one thing, on a daily basis.
If dali ra ta mapul-an sa ato goals, we must evaluate them and try to see if they are still aligned to our mission statement. Stephen Covey said something like if we are not able to do something about our goals consistently, if we are bored or if we lose our drive to act on our goals, that is probably because we haven't really taken our mission statement to heart. The only solution is to have discipline. That means we have to become "disciples" of our values and principles. We must have a burning "yes" to our dreams, goals, values and principles (our mission statement) for us to be able to say "no" smilingly to the things that are not important in our lives.
Just my two cents.
