The Process

The PROCESS:

1. PROMISE
God starts off with a word of assurance to enable us to see beyond the natural...

2. PROBLEM
The starting point of PROMISE is the problem. 

3. PEACE - This will take enable you to focus better on the positive than the negative. Brings the best out of your energy.

4. PRESSURE - if peace brings out the best out of your energy, pressure brings out the best out of you.

Pressure exposes all the goods and the bads. This helps you identify what is to keep and what to let go.

One classic example is flying a Chopper with people, animals, furnitures and cars. You have to know who needs the transport above all. You have to know what to put first and what is last.

5. PATIENCE - This is the ability to be productive while you wait for the end result. This in particular add better results because this is when you have a chance to put more in for greater result.

6. PERSEVERANCE - This is important to have. This is when your character is tested. This is when everybody and or everything may fail you but you know it is your character that wants you to keep going.

7. PROVISION - The end result. 

Bring Your Time Back

It happens all the time when Mr Hero wants to demonstrate how things are done. How one problem which no one can fix could actually be fixed by a special person, and that is Mr Hero.

We forget sometimes how Time flies so quick that we do not realise how much we have lost versus how much we have invested.

We call it "Sunk-Cost Bias". This is when you have invested so much and the results are yet to happen. Rockets upon rockets have been launched and you have lost billions and it is just no right to quit when you feel like you are almost there. That is when, it is just way too late to quit and say, "I've wasted my time and money".

Some of the points I've learned from Greg McKeown Essentialism book: page 168-170:

1. Don't Rob People of Their Problems.

They won't learn until they know they have to fix it.

2. Boundaries are a source of liberation.

Once they know you won't help, they will know they have no choice but to stand and sweat it. This is when your boundaries are up and you get your freedom back to yourself. Freedom to choose your time for something more essential.

4. Know your Dealbreakers

Acknowledge and be aware of those times you are violated because of someone's request even when you are not doing anything at that point in time. Most deep thinking happen when you have a clear mind. And so it is important to know if someone's request is a Dealbreaker or not.

5. Craft Social Contracts

The best part of what I have learned from this reflection is this. In our day and age, we are well surrounded with social media, online networks, friends both cyber and face to face. It is just fair and reasonable to agree on terms where both parties will benefit. I always believe that someone can do something for someone. Each individual will have to be willing to sacrifice so you can get the best out of each other.
