Create the life that you want

The difference between a winner and a loser is the capability of the former to create one’s life blueprint.

Most of the time people hate contemplating about life and their action, but ironically, they always wonder why life’s so hard. And when asked what’s their life’s all about? They’d either make fun of you thinking you’re some kind of retarded or they don’t know the answer.

Life isn’t really hard if you know how to play it ’cause just like any other sport, life has its mechanics and tactics that you can learn for you to result as a winner and happy.

Habit 2 of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is entitled “begin with the end in mind”

Begin with the end in mind is like writing your own Eulogy. It will consist of things that you want people to remember about you. Like what kind of attitude did you have? What kind of relationships you’ve built? What kind of work and contribution you’ve left? And what kind of advocacy you’ve supported?

Discover that life can be your own blueprint, as always, Life’s a choice. Ofcourse, there are things beyond your control but despite those, it all comes down to your OWN choice.

Everything in life has 2 creations:

1. the blueprint
2. the result

With the blue print intact, we see what we want to happen, like how big the house, how many bedrooms and if it has garden or pool. On the other hand, the result is the output. The actual house you were able to build.

The same thing goes to our own life. Most people feel lost with life because they don’t have a guide, a blueprint to look into. That’s why everything they do is based on the current state or other people’s opinion and standards.

Each of us has our own unique blueprint, a unique purpose and mission.

If you’d contemplate about it, most of things have. Companies, schools, athletes, organizations, etc. Everything has their blueprint, a mission statement, that’s ruled to be a basis on service and operation. Sad to say for most follow these standards but most of the time we don’t set for ourselves. And now I understand why people cannot answer what their purpose is.

Although our blueprint is something we can do, but it can’t be done overnight. It’s continuously built and revisited but the core value is intact.  It will guide you in your decision making ‘cause you have principles and values to base upon.

Once you have this, slowly you’d be able to see a clearer picture of what your life is all about. Plus, you’d be amazed to see the change you’d have that’s in line to the blueprint you’ve created. Don’t wait for your own funeral before you realize what you really are and what your life is all about.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. – Oliver Wendell Holmes
