"If I wrote a note to God"

I absolutely love this song....it is so inspirational. To all of you who are struggling....don't give up. This song will lift your spirits up.!

There are no failure-just experiences and your reaction to them.

I had a set back and I didn’t do too well in one of my exams. As my inspirational videos indicate there are several ways I can handle this setback. Yes, I had my moments of sadness and disappointments. But I also have choices in how I choose to move forward. I can choose to continue to wallow in it or choose to pick up, go on and learn from it. Enclosed is a video that inspired me to look at the glass half full rather than half empty.

Set back and failure is part of life but your reaction to them will determine the success of reaching your goals in the the future. The key is how you choose to handle it and how you choose to deal with it. It’s important to acknowledge your disappointments but also important not to wallow in it for too long.

I acknowledge that I won’t be gifted in every subject in my program and that I will struggle in some of the subjects. But I know that I can learn and push myself to do better. My attitude in how I choose to deal with failure and set backs in the program and in my life will determine the success of reaching my goals.

Who I am today and in the future is a reflection of my thoughts. And I choose to think that I will overcome this and I will learn from this. I will also choose to think that I will do much better in the exam I will rewrite. I need to believe that I will succeed and do well.

Know that set back and failure is a part of life. How you handle to deal with it is the key to success. I choose to deal with my set-back with a positive mental attitude. Spending more time studying the subject, will ensure that I grasp the concepts, in turn it will give me the knowledge and confidence to do well in my job.

Take the Time to Renew yourself

Hello from Denmark

I’m on a vacation de-stressing after four months of continuous stress. It is important to de-stress your body, spirit and mind in order to renew yourself. That is why time out and vacations are so important. It can be as simple as a three day retreat but it has to be absolute stillness, where your body, mind and soul is totally relaxed.

People who do not take this time out, are more than likely to develop post traumatic stress symptoms, all sorts of diseases and ailments. There are many benefits to de-stressing the mind, body and soul. Research have proven the benefits are endless and the bottom line is you cannot get away with not de-stressing. It is medicine that is needed to help renew and rejuvenuate your vibrant body, mind and soul. Many successful people have this as one of their secret receipe to their success.

Denmark is a beautiful country and I’m embracing the culture. I’m just going with the flow and not stressing too much about anything, especially my diet. I am a vegetarian and since I have been here I pretty much let that go. But I am OK with it and I am not sweating it too much. I want to experience the small window of opportunity and embrace their culture to the fullest. Some things are just not worth stressing over and for me, I let my diet go. So far, it has been a wonderful experience.

For my next goals, I’m looking at seeking part time employment while pursuing my MBA and at I found myself stressing out about it. Even my prayers began to sound demanding and stressful. Than, I began to realize I just needed to let go and put my life and trust in my higher power. Instead of pleading in my prayers, I changed the tone to surrendering each day to my higher power and the universe in employment opportunities. I needed to put my trust in knowing that my higher power is looking out for me and pray more for guidance and direction. When I did that, I felt the load lifted, and it was the most amazing feeling. The stress of just letting all the worries go was unbelievable feeling.

I know it's not easy for many, especially in this difficult economic crisis and many people are suffering. But faith always seems to help me in times of distress.


This does not mean, I don’t visualize the type of work I want or that I can't create affirmations. I still have to do these activies. I just need to trust and believe that my higher power/universe is working to create that perfect job for me.

I send blessings to each and every one of you :)
