I’m not sure why I’m bothering seeing that I failed at this year’s resolutions which was to lose 10kg. Instead I’ve put on 2kg. How the hell did THAT happen? How depressing is that?!

BUT.

If we don’t have goals, then we have nothing to strive towards and we’d be left behind making excuses for everything under the sun. You know how some people talk about doing this and that and everything else? Well, it’s well and good to have all these fabulous ideas, but if no action is taken, what good are they? Is anyone paying you to talk? What I recommend is making a realistic goal sheet for this year and make it measurable. So instead of saying you want to lose weight this year, say you want to lose 5kg by June 2011 and this is how you’re going to do it: By running 3km 3 times a week and keeping a daily diet of under 1500 calories. And then JUST DO IT.

My goals? Well, T1 officially starts big school – STANDARD ONE but she’ll be doing Standard Two work and I’ve just had a look at her text books for Math and holy shit. We never did what Standard Two students do now at Standard Two! Next year, T1 will be doing 3 digit math, multiplications and divisions, fractions and mass. She will need to calculate grammes into kilogrammes and estimate the weight in g or kg. I cannot imagine her doing that. At all. But she may surprise me. Surprise me, please T1.

2010 was a challenging year for me. I lost my helper in 24 hours. I had a baby to care for and had to see that T1 thrived in her new school. My husband lost his job. My mother was and still is ill. My health wasn’t exactly rainbows and care bears…..

2011 will be better. I anticipate more challenges as T1 moves on up in her competitive school career, the Hubs works harder in corporate Malaysia, and T2 being school-less because there just isn’t a good enough school out there anymore. I know what you’re thinking. She’s only a baby!!! But better a baby in school than with me. I’m only joking……..LAH. My mom’s cancer is growing and as the clock ticks, my fear escalates. I wonder how much more fear I can really sweep under the carpet. It’s practically waiting to explode into a dust of fear fluff.

So as I told my fated brother, next year I am going to GO WITH THE FLOW and look into the good in every bad. Go with the flow because I don’t need the extra pressure. I already have 5 ongoing projects that are happening that will keep me busy. Very busy. And I want to practise looking for the good in people. It only takes a simple effort of everyone to do this to make this world a better place. Together we can make a difference. Thus I shall take the lead.

What about you? Any resolutions for next year??? Think about it!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
