8 Ways to Value the Journey, No Matter Where You Are in Life

Every phase of life has benefits. Make the most of where you are today because life is short.

“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.”- John Burroughs

Today will be the last day of the year 2020. I’m glad it’s going to be over in hours because many things haven’t turned out well for me. Nonetheless, I’ve learnt so much in these 365 days and am truly grateful for my loved ones supporting me throughout.

Reflect. Reset. Restart.

We often get caught up in the little things that don’t matter and neglect paying attention to the people and things that matter the most. We basically stop enjoying the journey in life.

You can change that. The secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of everyday. It doesn’t matter how old we are, what we’ve done, or how much money we have. Our journey is a personal one-full of lessons and reasons to be happy. When we stop comparing ourselves to others and realize how full our lives are, we can appreciate our individual value.

It’s important to value the journey, wherever you are in life. Here are some ways to be satisfied-happy, even-with how things are unfolding:

1. Show gratitude. Find something every single day that you’re thankful for. Big or small, it all matters. Tell people how much you appreciate them.
2. Be committed. Set your goals and stick with them. They may need some adjusting along the way, but you’ll keep your focus on the prize.
3. Cherish your friends. Be around people who love you, not your success. Nurture you relationships and be a true friend without judgment.
4. Keep on learning. The world is changing rapidly. Whatever your interests, continue to pursue them. Or, try something new!
5. Don’t multitask. Trying to do more than one thing at once causes burnout and keeps you from focusing on the present.
6. Balance your life. Easier said than done, but essential. You can’t enjoy your age and stage unless you can leave work behind sometimes.
7. Make family first. Spend time with your family and kids. Go to games and performances. Nothing says I love you more than taking the time to be involved in their lives.
8. Take time to travel. It opens your mind, makes you more tolerant, and helps you appreciate what you have at home.

Every phase of life has benefits. You can always become richer but today is the youngest you’ll ever be again. So, take the most of where you are today and enjoy the journey because life is really short.

One thing that I worked on which was vitally important for my growth is Mindset.

I had to learn to think like a millionaire before I could become one, I had to learn to think like an entrepreneur instead of thinking like an employee.

I had to stop blaming other people for my problems and start taking responsibility for my life. I was a professional blamer up until this point. I walked away from blame and I took responsibility not for what happened to me but for how I responded to what happened to me because life’s going to happen to all of us.

If it’s always somebody else it has to change in order for me to be happy and successful then I am probably never going to be happy and successful because the world isn’t going to change to whatever I want things to be.

I decided I was going to set up my life so I would be happy or successful with or without someone else or something else changing. That’s when my life began to change. It’s a mindset thing.

I had to learn to stop being so impatient with my expectations because the biggest challenge in network marketing is the expectation gap. I’m expecting things to be easy but they are hard. I’m expecting a lot of different things.

Then, I learnt to trade expectation for appreciation, and just be grateful for the opportunity that I was presented with. Learning how to be grateful instead of resentful and learning how to understand the laws of entrepreneurship.

The laws of entrepreneurship is this; you’re going to be underpaid for a significant period of time and then you’re going to be fairly paid for a short period of time and then you’re going to be overpaid for a very long period of time.

You have to be willing to trade the underpaid for the overpaid and most people are not. Their mindset can’t handle that. That’s why most people quit after a few months because they cannot handle it.

There’s a side of foundation you build and the other side where the skyscraper is. But if you’re not seeing the skyscraper while you’re building the foundation, you’re not supposed to.

So let’s begin by thinking differently, develop skills and get rid of the limiting beliefs in the mind.

Choose. Your. Hard.

Marriage is hard.
Divorce is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Fit is hard.
Obesity is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Becoming rich is hard.
Being broke is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Paying for wellness is hard.
Paying for illness is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Planning for future is hard.
Making no plans for future is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Working for yourself is hard.
Working for others is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Succeeding is hard.
Failing is hard.
Choose. Your. Hard.

Life – it is never easy.
It will always be hard.
But we always have a choice.

If you want to take the first step – I am waiting for you.

Choose. Your. Hard.

There’s no such thing as a ‘bad rep’, only bad company, they say. Well, there are gazillions of network marketing or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies in all parts of the world to join, especially with the help of the Internet today. Vast number of these companies consider themselves ‘supreme’, having that ‘supreme’ reward system or producing that ‘supreme’ products in the universe.

If you are an amateur and being exposed to the network marketing opportunity prematurely, you will be baffled with plenty of choices if you begin to explore around various companies. It will further aggravate if you log onto the Internet and seek to hunt for the finest company to join.

With the overwhelming amount of information nowadays, you have no idea which information to depend on. It will be tougher if you unaware of what is your comparison standard. This eventually will cause fair amount of unnecessary strain when things do not turn out as you intended…

Some of the common challenges in the network marketing circle are:

1. You spotted a great product and opportunity, but having a tough time to get the business started.
2. You attempted to introduce your business or product to your family and friends, but experience great difficulties to get an audience who are willing to hear out.
3. You have worked on more than one network marketing business, and none seem to succeed as you originally dreamt about.
4. You have a nice group of team members, but pretty much all of them are consumers only. Apparently, you are the only one running the business.

The purpose of my blog is to share with you some of my mistakes when I first began my journey so you can make it to the top much quicklier and maximize your opportunity today!

Busy times, shall continue next week!

It seems to me that the Internet is filled idiots, haters, fakes and misinformation. Such is exactly why snake oil would sell years ago along with all other false advertising.

I have somebody who told me, “Gary, what’s the cheapest price you can sell me Purtier? The others are offering this and that price.. your website is great, can you help me please…”

Let me clarify this for the last freaking time, the ownership of fake or unofficial Purtier websites like purtier.info & purtierplacenta.com.sg do not belong to me, period. Please go ahead and buy their products if you trust its authenticity and credibility of them, I look forward to hearing from you soon (got good lobang, why not?!).

As a global distributor and leader of Riway International group, I’m clear about doing the Right things and doing the things Right in order to succeed in this industry long term.

I’m so sorry, the Internet is full of danger in today’s world but I choose to see the positive side of it nonetheless. You can actually get incredible information and useful resources in a few seconds. Resources that can educate, entertain and expand your horizons.

Be careful, be healthy and be safe.

Is Forex Trading legit in Singapore?

A commonly known fact is that a remarkable amount of forex traders fail. A well-known figure in the Forex world is that 90% of Forex retail traders fail and many lost more than simply money. Some publications quote failure rates as high as 95%. Irrespective of the true number, having interacted with thousands of traders over the years, I can tell you that those figures aren’t very far.

The reason many forex traders do not succeed is that they are undercapitalized in relation to the size of the trades they make. It is either greed or the prospect of controlling tremendous amounts of money with only a small amount of capital that coerces forex traders to take on such vast and fragile financial risk.

While foreign exchange (Forex) investing is a legitimate endeavor and not a scam, plenty of scams have been associated with trading forex. If you have 2700 USD/S$3688 and are looking for an active investment that is 100% safe health business which is predictable and has potential to grow 2-3 times yearly, would that interest you?
