Tic tac

Can you feel that?…a big change is coming…i can feel the breeze and the calm before the storm. The quietness…suddenly it all becomes silent and i feel as if everyone around me stood still forever…Im getting ready for the big moment.

I’m scared, but who wouldnt be?.

He who takes the risks will gain what others wont.
He who leads the way, will set up the path others will follow.
It wont be easy, but the rewards will be worth it.

I know I can and will suceed.
Im certain and positive about the future.
Willing to play my cards and put all my chips on the table.
The stakes are high and so are the rewards.

I am a risk taker. At this very moment, i define myself as one cos i can and I choose to.

This is my time and i’ll do something about it.
Where others have failed, i will succeed.
No doubts, i’m going into it head on.

I might fall, but im ready to take the hit.
Right now, i feel as if noone could stop me.
My fears are fighting my burning desires inside my mind, body and soul.
Im scared, but i’ll face the next 3 days.
Head up, big smile…lets go for it boys!…Lets run the show and fuckin’ do it!.

Take 1. Action!

Easy sunday morning talk

I spent last weekend in Barcelona.

I went with my mate Sam on saturday morning, got there in the evening and after leaving our stuff in the hostel near plaza de cataluña we went to a sushi bar. Quite good.

After getting ready, we went to this fancy club. Nice music, hot girls…and a very posh ambient…

Got home at 6, but it was really 7 am, because of the summer time change. We had only 3h of sleep since we had to leave the hostel before 12…so we woke up, packed our stuff and went for a breakfast

After 2hours of sleep in the car, we went to meet THE MAN: Randy Schroeder. Incredible experience!

Ride back home and in bed at 5h30…3hours before getting up and back to work the next day.

Its 2am and i cant hold myself now…but the trip was worth it. I felt alive and the smile on my face will last for a long time

Just Do it

No matter if you start the wrong way, it doesnt matter if you dont have everything you’d like to have when you start something. The first step is a must in every run.

People need a first push sometimes to get to where they really want to go. They are unsure of their own skills, their own thoughts and always look for approval of another person.

What should i do next? Should i take this job? Should I buy this? What do you think?

The fact is, it doesnt really matter. If YOU believe is worth, you’ll buy it or you’ll do it or you’ll get to where you want.

Whatever it is, make it happen for you… Just do it!

Time Consuming Social Networks

I bet more than one person who might be reading this post today is into some kind of social network. Badoo,Hi5,Wayn,HC,Tuenti,BP…

People like to get in contact through the web. Its quick, its safe, its fun and is time consuming.

I’ve found myself in the past days sleeping less and less and i was wondering what was keeping me out of my regular schedule…What was i doing different than before that was taking so much time out of my life?

I started to “log” on every activity i had been doing, and i’ve come to the conclusion that the social networks are a big part of my life now timewise. I take a look around, stay for a while, maybe a chat or a mail here or there…a minute here becomes and hour…and before i realize, im hooked up, looking at people’s photos or comments.

Its fun, i wont deny it. I like it and i do it…but i’ll take it easy from now on cos sleeping more than 6 hours a day has become mission impossible for the past 3 weeks now.

I’ll see you around…gotta update my profile

Monday morning

Today i had this feeling when i woke up at 7. A feeling it was summer already.

The Sunshine, birds singing, the fresh air…just wonderful. I dont know if you’ve noticed, but its already bright early in the morning and till late. Its great and i love that.

My mate Sam came last night from Teruel, and im happy for that . I see changes comming ahead, and that feeling makes me happy.

New situations, new expectations. That’s what i am always hoping for. And this morning, I had this new feeling again. A happy one. A happy mid-july morning feeling, long forgotten…And i love it.

Have a wonderful Monday you all!

Shit Happens

What do you do when everything that could go wrong, does?

Yesterday was certainly a crappy day for me and things turned out the wrong way, and everything that could possibly go wrong did. It was Tuesday the 13th. It might not mean anything for most of you, and it certainly doesnt mean anything for me, cos im not a supersticious person, but “more than usual” shit happened yesterday.

I wont go through all the stuff, cos i dont think there is any point on complaining about something its in the past and there is nothing i could do about it to change it. Its all the way back there, and im here.

So here is the thought that came up to my mind this morning as i was waiting for the bus: Wrong things or unplanned things, just happen in everyone’s life.

There are high chances that at some point during a walk, you might step into a dog shit. What do we do next? Wipe it off. Of course. When you step 5 shits in 100 meters, that’s crap (haha). It could be seen as bad luck, but the fact is, it can happen and this fact might not have anything to do with how you feel or where you are walking. Shit just happens from time to time.

As i was saying…what do you do after you step a shit? Wipe it off. You look for a piece of paper, branch or you simply wipe it off in the ground. And what do you do next? Do you stare at the shit? Do you talk about it? Do you complain? Well, maybe you swear for a while, i do too, but the next thing is keep on walking. We never look back, say 100meters after and take a look to see how the shit looks like from that far…at least i dont.

Life aint easy as a walk, and it also involves more than just “right foot-left foot” with balance and rhythm, but either way, shit can happen. And let me tell you that, if shit hasnt happen to you yet, it will. And if you think it wont, maybe you already stepped into a few already and you are just not aware of that.

Which brings me to my second thought: Some people need to wipe ALL the shit to even start moving again. Other people dont care; they just keep on walking despite the smell or the “walking-on-shit” feeling.

I like to take a middle point. Always wipe the shit off, but never taking too long. Swear for a while if I feel like it , get back on track and keep on walking…the remaining bit of shit I didnt wiped, will come off as I walk.

What do you do when everything that could go wrong, does?: Put a smile on your face and keep on going

5 hours

That’s the average i’ve been sleeping for almost 2 weeks now and im starting to get tired…Dizzy at 12 am…I think my body wont hold any longer.

Anyone interested in experimenting with sleeping dissorders and how they affect daylife activity, please feel free to contact me!

What’s next?

Feedback can be just the starting point. What to do next? Depending on your personality you’ll wait or you’ll move. Depending on the situation. Depending on how you feel…depends on so many things…

When things go fantastic, nobody has problems. When feedback is smooth and good, everyone is happy and knows what to do without doubts.But when things turn black and we start to worry…what would be the best thing to do?

“The best thing to do” aint always what we need. In fact, people sometimes delay taking things into action because they think “its not the best thing to do”…well, while people try to find out “the best”, the situation can turn into a worst thing, so my thought is: Whatever you do, do it quickly. Think about it and DO IT. Take action as soon as you can cos thinking about it wont get things done. Start, and then correct yourself along the way.

Edison didnt come up with the light bulb on his first try. But he got started at some point and made his way to the goal. He took the first step to one of the greatest and most widely used objects in our world today.

To get to “the best”, you have to start with “something” and from that starting point, improve and get better day by day.

FeedBack

The fist time i heard about this word, already some time ago, it to describe how to make an electronic circuit stable. Feedback made an amplifier work constantly in a way without varying too much from time to time.

When i comes to human relations, feedback is key. In a way, also makes relationships stable. In fact, as it turns out, feedback can tell you a lot about how your relation with another person is going.

We’ve all felt “left out” or “ignored” at some point in our lives. Thats normal. And didnt we get this feeling about “hmm…things aint going too good now”. Im talking about friends with whom you’ve talked for a while almost everyday and suddenly you stop talking or they stop talking to you. Then you get the feeling, right?

Feedback also applies when meeting new people. It shows the grade of interest the other person has towards you or towards what you’re saying. Its important to them and they pay attention. They respond. And you get their positive feedback.

I find feedback very useful. You get the message quickly and saves you time. No words needed. and you actually get the feeling subconsciously even before you get it rationally, which makes you not be so shocked when, for example, someone breaks up with you. You can never say “wow, i didnt see this comming!”… If you’re sensible enough and open to your enviroment and the people surrounding you, you get the “i dont know…something’s not working quite alright here” feeling. So, in a way, you’re aware and warned of the comming future even before you know.

Feedback is just a part of a bigger picture called “Emotional Intelligence”. A terminology that people started using it not so long ago and that is has become so important nowadays. At work, at home…

Its a very interesting subject and i’d love to hear/read some of your comments about it if you feel like it. I normally dont write direct questions in this blog, but this time around i will. What do you think about feedback? What do you think about Emotional intelligence?. I’d love to know..and if i dont, “i’ll get it”. I’ll get your feedback

The Best Strategy In Life

As the Monty Python song goes… Always look on the bright side of life

Make a difference. Be positive.

Why do people like to see the dark side of things in their first approach? What makes them behave that way?

I really wonder what moves these people who are always seeing things from a negative point of view. They always think about which things could go wrong or how could this or that go wrong or what’s wrong with this or the other thing…even before getting started!

That’s not the best approach to any situation in life. I mean, one is basically putting oneself in an inestable and disadvantaged position voluntarly. This is what i cant understand. Why are there people out there who would possibly want to put themselves in such circumstances?

My answer is “People who are afraid of being successful”.

For me, a person whose first approach to any situation, statement, activity or whatever is “what’s wrong here?, what can go wrong in all this?” is not a prudent person (you know, people who ask themselves…so what if this happens, or what if this other thing happens…), but a person who is always trying to come up with an excuse just in case things dont work out. They are literally looking for a way to fail.

Being and keeping a negative attitude will keep you out of living amazing experiences in life, i’ll tell you that. Being positive has always been the best strategy to follow if you want things to happen for you.

Just imagine if the inventor of the airplane’s first thought was “what if I fall?”. What if Leonardo’s first thought when he thought about a new gadget was “what if this goes wrong?”…He would have never invented anything or better said, he would have never become the successful genius he is now because the idea of failure would have kept him from doing anything that involved a chance to fail. A way to go wrong.
Dont take me wrong. The “what if” questions are VERY important, but they’re not the first thing to think about when you start a new thing.

As i see things, the right approach, the thought i always try to keep in mind when i face a new situation is “How can i make this work for me?” “How important can this be for me?” “What can I get out of this?”…and im not talking only about material things here…i’m also talking about life-experience.

If i think the effort is worth the rewards, then my next step is “ok. Lets do it. How can I start, how can I turn it into a good thing for me…and what can i expect to get”

AND THEN, after you’ve gone through these first steps, is time for a deeper research and evaluation of risks, hopes, odds and chances…”what if this happen?…Do i care? Am i ready to take it? Can i afford the risks?…what if…what if…”.

Starting with “What if this happens…what’s wrong with it” is a complete waste of time if you’re not even interested…And you know YOU KNOW if something interests you or not within the first 10 seconds of interaction.

If you’re not interested for whatever reason, you might as well invest or use your time in something else. Why bother? Move on to the next thing, and keep on looking for something that clicks that “ok. Lets do it” feeling inside you.

Its been a short week…

Its Sunday 0:19. In fact, its Monday already…The race already started.

Lately, weeks seem like run races for me. The watch sets the start and the end and i’m in this game where i have to fill everything into 7 days of 24 hours. As much as i can and as well as its possible.

How i do things one week will determine how things will go on the next one…or not? Does it matter if i mess up one thing at a certain point? I think it does. Whatever we do have good or bad consequences. There is no action without a consequence. Even inaction has consequences…

Inevitably i have to think that times goes by quickly when one has a lot to do. I think the opposite law applies when, for example, you’re in a boring situation and just want the time to pass as quick as possible…and it never does. In fact, minutes seem to last for hours. I know, cos i’ve suffered many boring classes

What’s my point with this post? I really dont know. Im writing as i think. An exercise of getting thoughts out of my system to leave some empty space for new ones to come, stay for a while, and then go again.

Its been a long-short week. I havent stop doing stuff, which made it long, but all the stuff i did, i raced against the clock to get it done. Its strange. I fill up a blank paper every night, with things i should do or people i should talk with the following day. And all throughout the following day, i cross the things i’ve done. And apparently, i never get to cross all the tasks i intend to…

I try to keep a balance between my goals and what i can really fit into one day in a realistic way. But i never manage to do it. Well, sometimes i do, but most of the days i dont. This leaves me with a strange feeling which i can describe with just one word.

Its something between sucessfullness (cos i see all the things i’ve done), and failure (cos i didnt get to do all). Its really a challenge for me everyday. I challenge myself to try to do my best, even if i sometimes know its impossible timewise. But the challenge its there. Always. I decide wether i want to take it or leave it.

And that keeps me awake and i love it.
