It has been a fabulous weekend spent for me at Money & You over the recent weekend (24th – 27th July) in Kuala Lumpur. Just like every single time that I review it, I have new distinctions and new discovery. Life between each Money & You gives us a space to realize, apply and relearned the principles learnt. And when I returned to the safe environment of M&Y again, I would get new distinctions as my life episodes have changed and move on.
Well, this round, I have a very interesting distinction. That is in the area of Creativity. Being a web & digital designer, I often face challenges when my mind just went blank and simply have no creativity at all. All the ideas are adaptation from references of other people’s works and I never uses them cos it is lack of my style and originality. And the worst is I start to “condemn” myself for my inability to create! This round, when I went back to M&Y, a flip chart really “speaks to me” and awaken my creativity!
The flipchart is the Mastery flipchart. it makes me realize that I have forgotten to “stop condemning myself” and push myself ahead and let go of past incidences.
Mastery Flipchart
Step 1 – Removal of mediocrity and commit to excellence (Need to constantly review myself)
Have I been staying in an environment whereby average is the aceptable for too long?
Am I surrounding myself with people that will ask more of me then myself to consistently improve myself? With these 2 questions, I sincerely need to make sme changes to my environment. Cos ” For things to change, FIRST I must change”.
Step 2 – Removal of resentment towards Masters and really learn from them
Probably I might have reple masters from my life in many ways. Its time for me to really listen.
Step 3 – Develop compassion for self (Forgive myself and give myself a break)
A Master, rather than condemning himself for his “ordinariness”, will embrace it and use it as a foundation for building the extraordinary. Time to start using “Thank you for sharing”!!!
Step 4 – Remain open and receptive
Keeping my heart open to receive new ideas and staying positve allows me to attracts new ideas to me. Thus helping me to become more creative in al areas, not just in designs alone!
Well, this really has been a great weekend and having myself taking new steps to achieving Mastery! Hope you all will be able to constatly remind yourself to achieve Mastery as well!
