White and Blue



Its 11 o’clock in the morning, the sun is brightly shining, no one should be whining if the winter snow is not happening.  Indeed its a beautiful day!  The sun is up and sky is blue and clouds are no where to be found.  The snow left in the roofs  with a clear blue sky is an excellent combination.  Picture perfect and IG worthy as my mentor would call it.  I can't resist to take a shot with my phone cam.
The winter storm just passed and left a tons of snow and made driving a challenge.  We should be thankful for we survived another day of endless blowing of snow.  Few hours ago, it seems that it never ends yet it did.  Not shown in this picture is the extreme cold alert at minus 15 degrees Celsius with minus 25 degrees wind chill.  It is brutally cold! It is not even officially winter yet but what we have is the temperature suited for deep winter.
Indeed, picture gives us an idea, some form of perspective but it is not the complete scenario.  It is just the outer appearance and we see the picture subjectively.  People living in the tropical countries would think it is very cold but at the same time they have no idea how cold it is.  They may start to envy and covet this experience and want it for themselves, if possible, in the near future.  Though they are living in a paradise, They desire what is ours as much as we desire what is theirs.  They have no idea how cold it is right now but nevertheless they dream a white Christmas just like what is played in the radio.
For us living here in the Northern part of the globe, it is a bit different.  In as much as we are used to the winter and the snow, the extreme cold wind feels like it penetrates the deepest bone marrow even with the best winter coat that we have.    It is just too much.  Even though the weather is extreme, the sun gives so much hope and sky displays a bright beginning for the day.  It is a gift and a beautiful one.  There is a story behind every picture but there is also something to be thankful in every story.  The cold weather as brutal as it seem,  is being lighten up by the bright sky in blue and white snow removes our winter blues every time the wind blows.

Excellence is Not an Act

Image
D id you ever excel on some things but fail miserably in other things? If you do, then you are just acting.  Congratulation! You just discovered that you are an actor or actress and you’re good at it.  You take the role of that field where you excel and your acting on it quite fairly.  As long as you keep your position where you’re good at, then you deserve to be recognized as a great artist, a star in that field. H owever, excellence is not an act, it is a habit.  People are getting in the wrong notion that succeeding in certain area of their lives makes them successful and yet they fail miserably in other things.  This is the reason why a lot of so-called successful people are in depression or into drugs or living a double lives because they may have excelled in their profession or career and yet they lost their quest mostly in the most important things in their lives. R eal successful people excel in almost every area they put their hands int...

The Number One Reason Why You Don't Succeed

Image
Have you been into self-help materials but still find yourself in the same situation, the same place, same financial status year after year? Maybe you’ve been wondering what is wrong with you when all the success formulas don’t seem to work for you. I felt the same thing until I’ve discovered why some self-help books fail: the number one reason why you don’t succeed. I can tell you hundreds of ways to the path of success but this is also what tons of books teach people and I think some of them missed one thing. Self-help materials teach you steps to achieving your goals in life; answering the question “why some people are successful?” but fail to provide the answer as to “why some people are not?” Just like some authors point out the habits of successful people; I think it is also important to figure out the behavioral patterns of unsuccessful people. And the number one factor that affects one’s failure is feelings. If your productiveness depends on your mood...

The Power of Morning Routine

Image
I've been reading a lot of self-help books for the past ten years and let me tell you there’s just no single perfect formula that will work for everyone for each has different age, experience, lifestyle and challenges. However, there is one technique that really works in all walks of life, and that is the power of morning routine. Not so long ago, I started listening to Terry Savelle Foy and her first podcast I’ve ever watched was “5 Things Successful People Do Before 8am”. I just found myself engrossed with her motivational and inspiring podcasts that I even made her part of my morning routine. In fact, I haven’t stopped until now. I still listen to her on a regular basis, along with some other motivational speakers and apply their tips about being successful. I also realized that as you go along with your self-improvement journey, aside from learning about great people who are successful in achieving goals, you will eventually come to a point when you will create you...
