Don’t spend your weekend. Invest it.

Iaca vine weekendul si ne pregatim de…orice NU inseamna job- relaxare. Binemeritata relaxare…

Inainte de a te relaxa, totusi as vrea sa iti pun o intrebare:

·         Ce ai facut tu pentru tine saptamana asta?

Care crezi ca este cel mai bun lucru pe care ai fi putut sa il faci, doar pentru tine?

Te-ai oprit pentru o clipa din tumultul cotidianului pentru a trage aer si a te gandi doar la…tine?

Fiecare dintre noi are cel putin un vis- sau l-a avut pana la un anumit moment, daca nu a stiut sa il pastreze. Ei bine, acum vreau sa te intreb ce ai facut tu pentru visul tau saptamana asta?

Ne dorim multe in viata la prima vedere, dar daca ne-ar lua cineva la bani marunti…nu stiu cati dintre noi ar sti sa spuna exact ce isi doresc cu adevarat si mai important decat atat, ce fac sa realizeze ceea ce isi doresc cu adevarat.

Sa va zic un banc dragut:

Santier. Echipa si…Dorel. Vine ora mesei. Toata lumea isi scoate mancarea si la fel procedeaza si Dorel, pe care il si auzim zicand..” Of, Doamne, iarasi sendvis cu ton?”

A doua zi la fel, Dorel tot nemultumit:” Iarasi sendvis cu ton?!?!”

A treia zi, ce credeti ca aud colegii la ora de masa ? “Deci nu pot sa cred, m-am saturat de atatea sendvis-uri cu ton!!!”

Un coleg vine la Dorel si ii zice “Mai Dorel, de ce nu ii zici sotiei sa iti faca altceva de mancare?”, la care Dorel raspunde

“A, nu, ca imi fac singur sendvisurile”.

Morala: cate ne facem singuri cu mana noastra si tot nemultumiti suntem? J

Trist dar adevarat- eu cel putin ma recunosc in cateva situatii J.

Ceea ce vreau eu sa spun face referire la doua lucruri extrem de importante:

1.       Nu uita niciodata sa visezi

2.       Fa ceva sa iti atingi visul!

Sper ca sunteti alaturi de mine cand spun ca visele se pot implini- eu de cate ori incep sa ma indoiesc de chestia asta ma gandesc la o replica de film care mi-a ramas in minte si care ma ajuta sa nu renunt :“inch by inch”. Ca sa fiu funny, iata poza care ma reprezinta- va invit sa ghiciti personajul J.

Ei bine, mergand mai departe cu ideea, sunt de parere ca, pentru a-ti putea  realiza un vis, orice fel de vis, ai nevoie de tine. Dar de tine in cea mai buna varianta a ta. Si chiar nu ai nevoie de un “tine” care sa iti spuna ca nu conteaza visul tau pana cand ajungi sa il uiti, ci ai nevoie de un tine care sa te ridice in fiecare zi si safie capabil sa te aduca cu cel putin un inch mai aproape de visul tau.

Daca vrei sa fii cea mai buna versiune a ta ai nevoie de o schimbare- incepe sa investesti in timpul tau, in loc sa il irosesti, pentru ca cel mai bun moment in viata intotdeauna va fi acum.

Si ca sa incepem cu pasi marunti, iata ce iti propun: o ora pe saptamana, pentru tine. Tu cu tine. Invata, alearga, fa acel ceva care te poate aduce acolo unde iti doresti sa fii. Important este sa incepi. Vei vedea ca acea ora/saptamana se va transforma intr-o jumatate de zi lucratoare pe luna si la final de an vei avea mai bine de 6 zile lucratoare in care ai facut exact ceea ce ti-ai dorit.

Acum gandeste-te asa: compania ta te intreaba care este visul tau in viata, si iti ofera bonus un training de 6,4 zile in care vei invata sa faci ce iti place cu adevarat.

Suna realist? Nu prea, nu? J

Dar daca iti zic ca depinde doar de tine sa devina realitate? Pentru ca este cat se poate de usor sa incepi sa o faci si pentru ca “pofta vine mancand” J.

Deci, daca nu ai facut nimic pentru tine saptamana asta, pastreaza-ti o ora pentru weekend J.

O seara frumoasa sa ai!

Don’t spend your weekend. Invest it.

Here comes the weekend and we are ready for anything that is …NOT about our jobs J- just pure relaxing time…

Before you relax, I would like to ask you a question:

·         What have you done for You this week?

What do You think is the best thing you could have done, just for You?

Have you stopped for a moment lately from your everyday life just to think of…you?

Each one of us has a dream (at least one)- or had one. Well, now is the time for you to ask yourself what have you done to make your dream come true this week?

We have many wishes on a first view, but if we had to point out clearly what exactly is that dream we wish for, I don’t know how many of us would have an answer to that and most of all, how do we plan to make our dreams come true.

Let me tell you a nice joke:

Building site. The team and…Dorel. Lunch time. Everybody eating, Dorel complaining “ Not again, tuna sandwich!”

Same story the next day, Dorel unhappy “ Again, tuna sandwich?!?!”

The third day…same story, You guessed right :” I can’t believe it! Tuna sandwich!”

“Dorel, why don’t you ask your wife to make you some different food?” a colleague tells him.

Dorel answers:” Oh no, you see, I make my own sandwiches”

So, how many things do you think we make with our own hands?

Sad but true- I recognize myself sometimes in this story…

What I’m trying to say refers to two important things:

1.       Never stop dreaming

2.       Work to make your dream come true

I hope you agree dreams can become reality- everytime I start to doubt that I think about a movie scene that helps me not to give up:” Inch by inch” (short oneJ ). To be funny, here is a representative picture of me J- guess who am I, can you? J

Well, further on, I feel that, in order to achieve any kind of dream, the first thing you need is You. The absolutely best You.  And you really don’t need a stopper you, but that kind of you that can challenge you to get out of bed every day and have another inch gained for your dream.

If you want to be the best version of you, you need a change- start investing in your time instead of waisting it, because the best moment in time is always NOW.

And, to have a start, here is my proposal to you: one hour per week,  just for you. You2you. Learn, run, do that something than can get you there. The important thing is to start. You’ll then see that that hour a week will soon become more than 6 working days per year. 6 days for YOU alone and for Your dream.

Now think about this: you company asks you about your dream and offers you a 6,4 training days to learn how to achieve it.

Sounds realistic? Not really, huh? J

What if I tell you that it only depends on you to make it become reality? It’s easy, just start doing it.

So, if you haven’t done something for your best version this week, save an hour for the weekend J

Have a beautiful night!
