“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

How many of you thought I wasn’t going to meet my stated goal of 8 posts this month?

I’m sure there were at least a handful of you. This month presented a good opportunity to write about this topic, a time when I would be stretched so thin that I might actually fail and have every excuse to do so. But there are no excuses. It does not matter that I got sick twice this month, that I had to host 2 friends in my apartment from out-of-state, that I was doing continuing education, or going to a Tony Robbins seminar, that I was working more than I’ve ever worked in my entire life. When you decide on a personal standard, you must commit to it, no matter what. No exceptions. There is not a human being on this earth who has ever done anything of note without setting a personal standard and committing to it.

I was at the “Unleash the Power Within” event last week, and it was outstanding. Rather than regurgitate the syllabus which would be unfair to Tony Robbins, I’m going to write about the incidental lessons that I learned.

Cloud mountain

“If you always put limit on everything you do, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
-Bruce Lee

Most people view life as a mountain they have to climb. Their hope is that once they’ve reached the top, they can then take it easy, forever. For most, the summit promises a wife and kids, a stable job, and a big house where they can just relax for the rest of their days. After they have “made it,” there is an expectation that nothing will change. They cling to this expectation, but when it is smashed to pieces by reality, they are thrown into an emotional whirlwind. However, for the few that choose to take the journey to mastery, to excellence, to a lifetime of learning, the path bestows growth, happiness, and purpose. The world always moves, always changes, always evolves. As it does, those who have chosen to seek mastery will move, change, and evolve with it.

Page Update

Posted in Asides, tagged , on December 16, 2012| 2 Comments »

Hey all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have updated my mission statement, which is now called “My Journey.”  You can access it through the navigation menu, or if you are in a lazy mood, you can just click here.

I spent a lot of time writing it and a ton of time thinking about it.  I hope you enjoy reading it.  I think if you’ve had a similar experience, you’ll definitely find it worth your while.

Love

A. T. Bui
