My Daily Motivational Process


People ask me fairly often how I've kept myself motivated daily and regularly post quotes every 2 ~ 3 hours for the past 2+ years that I've been using social media. It's quite simple actually. I begin every day with the following commitments:

1. Gratitude. Today I am thankful for all the wonderful things in my life: my sight, my voice, my hearing, my experiences, my brain, my existence, my health, my home, my family, my mastermind brothers, my friends, my colleagues, my customers, my business, my home, my mentees, my mentors, my advisers, my successes and, yes, my work. 

2. Creativity & Learning. Today I will seek opportunities to think and do something new and different and thereby changing the world for the better. I read positive quotes and schedule posting of those quotes that resonates with me. I also seek to learn at least 1 thing everyday. 

3. Planning & Prioritisation. I plan my day every morning before I leave home. I review all my projects, tasks, meetings, todos, calls to return, emails to follow-up, etc. and I prioritise which needs to be completed today, tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.  

4. Resourcefulness. Today I will become strong by overcoming obstacles with persistence and flexibility while asking for help and support within my circle of influence and networks. 

5. Enthusiasm. Today I will permit myself to become excited in anticipation of whatever might happen. YeeeeeHaaaaarrrr!!! I meet people, I share my passion on what I do and how I make it into a business and how the business is an extension and an expression of me.  

6. Perceptiveness. Today I will look beyond my preconceptions to see the truths that I missed before. 

7. Appreciation. Today I will remember the miracle of conscious existence, which is all too soon over. Life is short, I can die at any moment, I will live life to the fullest and seize the day. 

8. Sensitivity. Today I will remain aware of the emotions of others and how they interact with my own. 

9. Relaxation. Today I will spend at least 30-mins to 1-hour doing something that's just because I enjoy it.

10. Happiness. Today I will do my best to remain happy, regardless of the circumstances of the hour.

11. Power. Today, I will use some of whatever power I possess in the service and for the welfare of others.

12. Health. Today, I will take action to ensure that I'm in better health than I was yesterday or the day before. I meditate, rest my mind (state of no mind), walk and do light exercises. 

13. Wonder. Today I will sit back and marvel at the unexpected, without which life would be boring. I enjoy watching the clouds, sun-sight and sun-clipse, smelling the rain and marvel at the magnificence of life. 

14. Playfulness. Today I will express, at least once, the joy of the child who still lives inside me. I make fun of myself, crack jokes and laugh a lot with whomever I meet daily. I also disturbs my friends and jokes with them via Facebook. 

What are your thoughts? How do you motivate yourself daily towards your grandest vision and desired outcomes?

OpenProj - FREE alternative to Microsoft Project I wanted to share with all of you about Projity's important announcement last week at LinuxWorld. Projity announced the release of OpenProj, a FREE (yeah, another FREE software) and open source replacement of Microsoft Project. OpenProj is available on Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac and is interoperable with Microsoft Project. The best thing is, it even opens existing MS Project files! How cool is that? I read on OpenProj website that OpenProj has been downloaded on an average every 35 seconds around the clock at http://www.projity.com since they launched and made the software available last week. OpenProj is now in the 99.99th percentile for activity on Sourceforge.net and is quickly becoming one of the most used open source solutions worldwide. The OpenProj folks are expecting about 11 million worldwide users and in my opinion, this has been an excellent start for them. MS Project has been a key strategic solution for Micro...

High-speed wireless video transfers 100X faster than WiFi

IBM is looking to change the way you watch video. The company today is announcing microprocessor chipsets that can wirelessly transmit high-definition video between computers, televisions and handheld devices in the time it takes to push the Play button. IBM will do this by teaming with MediaTek to launch a joint initiative to develop these ultra fast chipsets that will let users rid their homes and offices of the cumbersome wires needed to connect their HD-TVs to set top boxes and or other devices. The companies will be developing millimeter wave (mmWave) radio technology -- the highest frequency portion of the radio spectrum -- 60 gigahertz rather than 2.4 gigahertz -- and digital chipsets that enable at least 100 times higher data rates than current Wi-Fi standards, IBM said in a release. Users could upload a 10 gigabyte file in five seconds with the new technology versus 10 minutes using current Wi-Fi technology. mmWave wireless technology can be widely used at home and...

Keep your mail servers off blacklisting sites

Keep your mail servers off blacklisting sites and avoid being flagged as spam! by Moonshi Mohsenruddin, CEO CommGate, Inc. Greetings! This blog will be shared by my fellow team mates - Mr. Tan Hock Chye, Technical Manager, Mr. Ramesh Raman, Chief Technology Officer and Mr. Abhik Biswas, Chief Marketing Officer of CommGate. We will be posting alternately, in attempt to bring mind blowing technology thoughts to you on a regular basis. If you would like to read more about who we are and what we do, please do check out our profile on our corporate website. These days, it seems like every other email servers/hosts are tightening the screws on their email servers just a little bit more in order to battle against spam and viruses. Generally speaking, having more servers out there tightening their security and policies is a good thing. However, if you do not follow some basic precautions on your own email server(s), valid email from your hosted email domains may start to be flagged as spam...
