Powerful Lessons You Can’t Afford To Ignore
閱讀時間約 16 分鐘
It is so simple but people are still looking for the “secret”.
Twenty more years went so far in my life.
I’ve been living a life with default mode — consuming pieces of information from others, from the internet.
It made me anxious, made me feel I am useless. Slipping through a whole bunch of time — struggling, thinking, talking, lying on the couch, yelling, burn out, and still DO NOTHING.
Inspiring stories are everywhere.
Inspiring means something, someone or some stories make you think then do something.
Most of the time, people including myself just feel inspiring then forget to take actions, apply learnings, ideas into our own game, our own life.
We all default to pursuing a better version of ourselves. Becoming better and better.
How? Start taking action.
So, let’s start with the small experiment.
On Experiment
I am the guy — Thinking ambitiously but with tiny action.
Every time I thought it’s time to change. Here are words in my head — I’m lazy, I just want to stay at home, do nothing, I feel tired easily, forget it, I can’t do it.
Changing is slowly add-up, small tweak, it takes time, it’s a continuous process.
How could we start changing?
Giving yourself a chance to start any short-time period of the experiment.
There was a time, I binge eating, whenever I feel stressed out, I eat randomly to comfort myself.
You know what they said — To destroy is easier than to create, to build.
Getting fat, more than 220 pounds is easy to predict until I can’t stand it anymore.
Time to change. I start a small experiment for only one to two months.
I started back to the gym and adjust how I eat.
Guess what?
Small wins could build up confidence and it would expand to other areas of your life.
After that, I wrote emotionally, document this journey and lessons learned.
It resonates with people, mo matter friends I knew, or strangers on the internet. This experiment gives me a chance to see what’s possible.
On Consume vs. Create
Consuming inspiring information is great, but before that, I want to create more. I don’t know why, maybe creating is something wired into humans.
When talking about creating, I mean producing everything from you.
Not strict to any specific form.
It could be writing down your thoughts, emotions, ideas, write it then show it to your friend, to the world, or simply just write it down on paper, in your lovely notebook.
It could be recording yourself, your voice. Telling a joke, an inspiring story, or acting, publishing on the internet, putting it together as a video or podcast, whatever you want, or simply upload it, share it with friends without any editing.
It’s not about what medium you leverage, it’s about actually creating something.
In the past, in the morning, I usually scrolling the phone for no reason, consuming news or feeds on social media. Turns out, it makes me feel anxious or even worse, jealous.
Now, I want to live a life with more intention.
I want to take back attention. Focusing on myself.
Stop scrolling the phone. Start creating something, anything.Creating before Consuming.
On Goals vs. Systems
I read a book named “ How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life” written by Scott Adams.
It’s been six months now, I hit the gym, training every single day. Thanks to this book.
You know what’s really inspiring means? Like I said in the beginning, it makes you think then do something but most of the time, people just feel inspiring then do nothing.
This book obviously inspiring me.
I really excited to share one of the great insights from Scott Adams.
Please be careful reading on, because it would slowly change how you see things, ultimately might change your life.
It is powerful.
A goal is a specific objective that you either achieve or don’t sometime in the future.
A system is something you do on a regular basis that increases your odds of happiness in the long run.
If you do something every day, its a system. If you’re waiting to achieve it someday in the future, it’s a goal.
If you achieve your goal, you celebrate and feel terrific, but only until you realize you just lost the thing that gave you purpose and direction. Your options are to feel empty and useless, perhaps enjoying the spoils of your success until they bore you, or set new goals and re-enter the cycle of permanent pre-success failure.
All I’m suggesting is that thinking of goals and systems as very different concepts has power.
Goal-oriented people exist in a state of continuous pre-success failure at best, and permanent failure at worst if things never work out.
Systems people succeed every time they apply their systems, in the sense that they did what they intended to do.
The goals people are fighting the feeling of discouragement at each turn.
The systems people are feeling good every time they apply their system.
That’s a big difference in terms of maintaining your personal energy in the right direction. — Scott Adams
What’s interesting happen to me personally is, I know we, people have different emotions every single day. My approach is not to be a robot or ditch the emotions entirely.
My approach is knowing emotions does exist, emotions would coming to me sometimes randomly, but it’s okay.
You probably feel more exhausted after working all day long than the other day, then you think, you don’t want to go to the gym or don’t want to do something at that time.
You know yourself better than anyone, you either sleep, wake up earlier, avoid working out after working all day long.
The point is to adjust your lifestyle to properly match the systems you intend to build is your own responsibility.
Keep complaining, making more and more excuses to make yourself feel better is totally wasting your time.
On Perspective Shift
The most powerful things I observed, learn from the insight — “ Goals vs. Systems ” is more beyond it — Perspective shift.
I start seeing hit the gym as a routine, a habit, a default mode.
I start seeing building muscle is not just for growing it — It is a way to help me develop the ability to focus at the moment, an alternative way to meditate, a way to bring me more inner peace.
Once I actually change the perspective, I start focusing on different things, it accidentally becomes my own habit, a lifestyle.
As they said, a well-known adage,
Perception is reality. How we see something becomes our truth, which can sometimes be self-limiting.
Changing perspective is the most powerful thing in the world, it would ultimately change your life.
You want the secrets to life, to success?
Stop wasting time, you won’t find it out until you start living it.

隨著理財資訊的普及，越來越多台灣人不再將資產侷限於台股，而是將視野拓展到國際市場。特別是美國市場，其豐富的理財選擇，讓不少人開始思考將資金配置於海外市場的可能性。

有朋友問說「要怎麼自我覺察」、「如何更了解自己」等問題，這是個很棒的主題，因為認識自我是隨時進行的功課，不分歲數、無關處在哪個階段。
Heibon曾經分享過幾項自己努力執行的事情，例如將看過每本書摘錄自己的心得、隨身帶著一本小冊子，有靈感便自由書寫、100天練習，隱含想法可連結《原子習慣》核心概念
改變自己不簡單，通常在「立定志向，信誓旦旦，從明天開始，一切就要變得不同」之後，過幾天就不了了之。或者我們會不承認自己立即需要改變，以及低估了惰性的力量，導致不知如何有效進行改變。
《零阻力改變》要告訴讀者的是—想要改變行為，需要找出妨礙自己進步的弱點，量身定做策略來跨越障礙。
當有一個體重基數大的朋友無法減肥時，如何克服自己的內心障礙，從小事做起，堅持下去？本文分享了「微習慣」的概念以及作者史蒂芬蓋斯的故事，提出從小做起，一點一滴進步的重要性和行動的力量。
今天這本書不只是2019年必讀，我覺得它根本應該納入人生必讀。無論你的起點在哪裡，想要改變什麼，增進健康、金錢、人際關係等等...這本書給的四大法則都能完整解惑，倘若你真的這輩子只能讀一本對自己有幫助的書，就是它了《原子習慣》。
是(being) 而非 成為(becoming) 也不是改變
要培養好習慣是不容易的 但這本書教你怎麼一步一步獲得好習慣
他教會了我很多 希望對你也有幫助
說到減肥瘦身，大家第一個念頭一定跟我一樣，就是運動、節食來做一些改變，當然想到這些我就有點懶的減肥了，畢竟人生苦短這個不行那個不行這樣實在太辛苦，但是終於還是被我發現懶人瘦身法，只要你在生活注意這些小細節，那麼你就可以慢慢的減肥成功!
這本令人驚艷的習慣改變書介紹了彈性習慣的七步驟、三個階段和四大支柱。通過每天執行不中斷、最多九個達標、每日記錄成果、培養的習慣不超過三個等關鍵方法，幫助人們建立健康的生活習慣。運用彈性習慣充實每一天，享受更多自由，並在穩定與靈活中找到成功的關鍵。可以搭配數位工具來規劃和提醒。
《 The Secret 秘密》一書裡提及，「你當下的思想正在創造你的未來」。
雖然書裡頭有一小部分內容，我覺得是在胡扯（比方說減肥也能靠想的就能瘦），但就吸引力法則這件事來說，我還是多少願意相信。
通常我們無法成功養成一個習慣，很多情況下是因為我們想要做「大」的改變，當改變不大的時候，就乾脆放棄。這也是我們常常失敗的主要原因，我個人過往也有不少類似的經驗，例如在年初時想說要開始來每天寫日記，也去買了自己喜歡的日記本跟筆，然後就開始寫。前面幾天動機很高，也會將每天的想法、工作的心得都如實的寫下，
