My 6 MISSION I-M-POSSBLES

[shivraj]

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing. ~ Unknown


This time I am taking different approach to my 30 days trial which is starting from 3 september 07 and end at 2 october 07.
My 30 days challenge will consist of 6 missions each of 5 days with specific set of goals.I call them Mission I-M-POSSIBLE 1 TO 6..

This will be kind of The 'Quantum Leap' Approach where you tries to force intense activity by setting a goal that will need a 'quantum leap' in activity to achieve it.

I never compare myself to others as it is surest recipe for unhappiness . currently what is impossible for me may not be impossible for others.. I compare my previous level to my current level and judge wheather I am making progress or not.
so,
Objectives of MISSION I-M-POSSIBLE are :
1) To redefine word IMPOSSIBLE to IMPROBABLE and to POSSIBLE.
2) To do something that I thought Impossible to do for me.
3) To break my physical, mental, spiritual limitations without any injury.

“The difference between the possible and the impossible lies in a person's determination.” ~Tommy Lasorda

[shivraj]

I failed miserably last 2 days.I was so lethargic to do anything planned. I was artificially stretching my mind and body with the sheer use of willpower, I underestimated the power of subconcious mind.
I was stretching rubber and after loosing grip on it, rubber obtained it's normal size... water level reached it's normal position
After lots of soul searching I found that I was missing following things
1. Big picture of life.. my long term goals, short term goals
2. My values to live by. Priorities in my life.
3. Not decided about my Ideal life

Even after failure of 2 days I am not discouraged. Both success and failures always teach you something.I have learned my lessons.

It's all start over again for next 30 days with the understanding gained.
I have to put my mind on the things helpful for my goals and off the things which I dont want...

First thing is I will prioritize my values, goals, drives
I'll set goals for my life....List of my long term,short term goals
Clarity of purpose ..
No matter what happens I will fullfill my promises(Goals) with myself and God.
I will never entertain any distractions, as a young man I have lots of distractions around....

Most important promise I make with myself is I WILL NEVER LIVE MEDIOCRE LIFE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.I WILL LIVE LIFE OF ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

My Values / motives in Life:

1.Self Mastery/Self Actualization,Supremacy, Inner Happiness and peace of mind in all situations
2. Life Long learning,Knowledge and Growth
3. Creativity ,Imagination, Fulfilment of dreams
4. World Class Professionalism
5. Preparedness for opportunities, Entrepreneurialship
6. Warrior Spirit, Never say die attitude
7. Open Mindness and flexibility for change
8. Zeal, Enthusiasm
9. Reliability
10.Honesty
11.Love
12.Fluency
13.Philanthropy

My new 30 days trial begins from tomorrow(10 september 2007) and end on 9 october 2007, this time I will be successful no matter what !!

I agree. Nice mind map.

[persephonevii]

At first I thought 'Wow, that's crazy and impossible. Can he even do it?'

And you did. Congratulations so far. That's amazing, I especially like that quote from the Navy dude about rising above human nature. I really, really liked that quote. It hints at the belief/truth that humans are something more than rather intelligent beasts with an ultimately dull biological destination/destiny.

Well done, shivraj!
