Three Things

While I was on my way to Commonwealth, I have come up a simple guideline on how to make my life accomplished as possible as I can. Inspired by the bulletin posts on friendster and notes on facebook, I think I have come up something not-so-bad.

I call it THREE THINGS.

1. What are the three HIGHLIGHTS in your life at the start of the year up to the present?(It should be something that made you smile, something memorable, something you have accomplished, or, something you are proud of.)
2. What are the three CRISES in your life at the start of the year up to the present? (This should be your problems that you dread so much)
3. What are the three CHALLENGES that you want to make it happen in your life?
4. What are the three THINGS that you want to make it happen in one year? (Now this will be your future plans and your dreams - the realistic ones)

Here's mine:

HIGHLIGHTS:

• I passed my all trainings in HAL with flying colors
  
• I get to know who my real friends were
• Finding that "someone" who made my life (more, if it's acceptable) complete.

CRISES:

• my papers (including medical)
• visa
  
• payables

CHALLENGES:

• pass my US visa
• pay all my dues as soon as possible
• get on M/S Amsterdam and start a career!

THE FUTURE:

• see myself back in the Philippines with more wisdom (and funds too!)
• back in the arms of the people I love and be able to spend quality time with them. (Aaron, family, friends, my honey)
  
• a complete house renovation

In the meantime, I am thinking of my answers if it is enough. It's not but I had to start somewhere. As I have learned from Stephen Covey's book, "First Things First," if life seems to curl out of control, we need to list down our life as specific as possible and realize why are these important. In this way, we will be able to patch the holes in our lives step by step. Once you're done, you can make another list. Thus, making your time valuable and stress-free.

Now I'm done with mine... So I am challenging you to do yours.
