Today I was Praised

Today a friend praised me

It is a little sad that when people praise you, the level of happiness is not the same as the level of hurt or sadness you feel when you are criticized

So because I should learn to be more happy about that praise, I will write about it

I was praised today.

A friend told me that a nice guy like me would not have trouble finding a girl!

And actually! I am quite happy! I just read that message again!

Sometimes I wonder how far along the journey I have come, and how long more there is to go.

The journey to becoming a real man, that is.

So many mistakes. But none of which I have regretted. For they have taught me so much. Without those teachings I would not be what I am today, so I am grateful, not regretful.

That day, last last Friday, in the Rotaract general meeting

I read a note out loud to the whole room. In front of 20 members.

The note was about my goal to get married by the age of 25. To be able to improve myself financially and also in terms of personal development to become a better human being.

Yes. I said it to all my members.

And because I said it I have to do it. Otherwise I would be a liar.

It was actually a little bit embarrassing to read it... It's the note that I would read every night before I sleep! And in the morning after I wake up!

I knew that it had an impact on a few of them in that room. I know that, a few of them understood the power of reinforcing your mind mentally consistently.

Yes. I got my message across. And I was happy.

Now everyone is waiting to see if it would happen.

Would Danny Siah get married by 25?

Would he?

Does his methods work?

Will it come true?

If I believe in it 100% then it would come true

If it doesn't happen it just means I did not do it correctly

So I must keep trying. Persistently. To make sure I get it done right.

To the few who understood my meaning that day. I hope you write down your goals and read them everyday consistently.

It will surely help you achieve what you want out of life. Do not underestimate the subconscious mind. It does things your conscious mind could only dream of.

And so I was praised today.

And I am happy.

What a wonderful thing to have someone have an impression of you that would let them say such nice things about you?

I will do my best in all my undertakings. I hope that I can learn how to love her properly. Despite all hardships and tough times, I'll learn to make things work and last. I'll read lots and lots of books. And I'll make sure I become as good as I can be as a man, in order to increase the odds of getting married at what most people would consider, a young age of 25, in a first relationship.

Odds are slim. But odds are always odds. They don't beat miracles.

So as long as there is a chance that it will come true I will continue to believe. At the back of my mind it will happen.

Every night before I sleep after I have read those goals. I try my best to picture it. Me getting married. Burn the image into my mind. Feel it. Sooner or later. It will come true.

It must. Because somewhere in the future.

It has already happened.

Goodnight =)

p.s. I was praised today
