perhaps it is after all

they say that you can do anything you set your mind to. how true is that?

there's so much i want to change; so much i want to do. why then is it not happening? why do i still fail?

... my first job was at a language centre where i taught english. moving upwards, i ended up as the 'right-hand-girl' of the principal@director who also is a master trainer in NLP. so, i sort of picked up some skills and facts from my time with him. my point is, we always tell students that they can do anything they set their minds on. "just think it, and it'll happen". "tell your brain what to think" ... so on and so forth.

so does every great leader and nation-changer in history; people who brought change, people who caused revolutions, discovered and invented life changing facts.... they all say the same thing. it's all a matter of the mind.

a wise boy also once said that, if we purpose in our heart...then it would be so.

if it is indeed so, why then the daily struggle between our mind and hearts?

i can do anything i set my heart on? ANYthing? really?

ok .... let me think.

perhaps the key lies not in a mountain-trembling-oceans-roaring declaration. perhaps, it's just a matter of 'allowing' it to happen. maybe if i do it step by step, little by little, i'll get there.

i wake up. i make up my mind to do it. i try. and if i fail, i sleep, and i try all over again the next day.

perhaps that's what it is. a lifestyle of moving towards the goal? a desire in the heart to give my best for it?

simple? yeah ... perhaps it is after all
