Year 2008's Reflections

The year is almost coming to an end. I'm going away to Cambodia to celebrate my b'day with a bunch of conscious beings, in a nice holy-type place. I'll be visiting temples and buddhist statues. What a way to spend my b'day, and counting down to year 2009!

Here's a recap of what I wrote in 01 Jan 2008:

Theme for year 2008

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!

2006's theme: Love, Wisdom & Courage

2007's theme: Performance, Effectiveness & Results

2008's theme: Integrity, Relationships & Discipline


INTEGRITY: Honoring all my words and promises. When I say "X", "X" happens. Having a clutter-free life and walking each step feeling clean. Being a source of Light and causing others to be source of Light in their world.

RELATIONSHIPS: Build deep, meaningful and fulfilling relationships with the people in my world. With my loved ones; to work on patience, space, love, acceptance and championing their growth. For my clients; to work on building lasting relationships, creating value, transforming their lives and championing their growth."

DISCIPLINE: To enforce integrity and ensuring my foundation is solid. To keep hitting "X" and scoring critical wins in my life. Chop wood, carry water and climb hill consistently to increase the speed and precision in getting my results. To embrace humility and inspiration in my beingness. To ensure I work on all areas of my life and be a well-rounder. To immerse myself in joy, magic, good health, good fortune and love in every tasks I take on.

I'm always very cautious about what I wrote as my theme for the year, because it is damn scary to observe on hindsight how life has been governed by the 3 themes. For example, I saw how I worked my ass off in 2007 as I gun for effectiveness, performance and results. In this year, so many incidents popped up to remind myself on my integrity (or lack of) and discipline (or lack of). I shall have fun mulling over my 2009's theme over at Cambodia.
