A One-Sentence Journal

The idea of writing a few long (& “quality” that worth reading) articles a week is intimidating for me.

I’ve tried & failed.

In fact, I procrastinate! At one point, there were more drafts than published posts on my blog.

That’s also why the idea of “one-sentence journal” by Gretchen Rubin is so original, refreshing and practical.

Updated on Mar 30, 2016: I’ve kept my one-sentence journal (online – on this blog) since end of 2014 until now. Though I might have missed quite a few days in a month, “one-sentence journal” helps me create a good habit of jotting down my thoughts & keeps me going until now as it’s so easy to summarize my day (what I’ve done, learned and achieved) in one sentence. In 2016 in particular, I’ve forced myself not to skip any single day.

Lately, learning from Steve Pavlina, I’m writing down more about ideas & what I’ve learned than about my daily routines (What I do or Where I go) but the purpose doesn’t change. Update: Learning from Stefan James, I now add about what I’ve achieved (“magic moments”) into my journal too.

A few days ago, I re-read what I wrote for the first time. Guess what? It’s fun & I feel good reading what I wrote – though some of them sounds quite funny & silly to me now.

Since then, I decide I’ll print out the journal at the end of each month (I’ve kept these journals private as it contains some private thoughts that I prefer others not to read). What a way to reflect what happened in my life!

Progress equals Happiness – Tony Robbins

What a piece of advice that I’ve learned! What a habit that I’ve built! Thank you Gretchen & the article (I forget which one) that brings me to your article 🙂

10 songs that keep you motivated for life

Music is amazing. It helps us chill out. It raises us up when we’re down. It motivates us to move forward. Sometimes it’s simply a lovely reminder of love & beauty…

With hundreds of beautiful inspirational songs like Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) (Kelly Clarkson), Firework (Katy Perry), Imagine (John Lennon), Human (The Killers) or I believe I can fly (K. Kelly) out there, it’s really challenging to pick a top-10 list  – a welcome headache though 😉 But among them, there are ten – 10 songs whose lyrics and titles always give me, and maybe you too, a good feeling & an extra lift that help me stay the course.

Speakers on? Volume up? Ready? Alright, here are they:

10. What a wonderful world – Louis Amstrong

…I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world!”

9. Shame – Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow

…What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
And that’s how they stay
Oh, what a shame!”

8. I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz

…No, I won’t give up

I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make

… I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough

God knows we’re worth it!”

7. Because We Can – Bon Jovi

…I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

Because we can our love can move a mountain
Because we can if you believe in we
Because we can just wrap your arms around me
Because we can we can!“

6. Stand By Me – Ben E. King

…No, I won’t be afraid, oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me!”

Here comes the top 5…

5. My Way – Elvis Presley

I want this song to be played at my funeral!

…I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and every highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows – And did it my way!”

4. When You Believe – Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston

This is more than just a song. It’s a lesson – a big secret to be precise!

…We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miracles
When you believe

…Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe!”

3. Better man – Robbie Williams

This summarizes what I always wanna tell myself, “you don’t need to be better than anyone but yourself”. Just be a better man!

…I know I’ve been taught
To take the blame

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing all I can
To be a better man

I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But love is all around
But love is all around!“

2. We are the Champions – Queen

Each and anyone of us is a champion!

… And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through

We are the champions – my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting – till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions – of the world!”

1. Rule the world – Take that

Though I really like the cover by Gary Barlow & Michael Buble, I decide to pick this original. It’s just too good to me – sang by the sexiest voice of the sexiest man & whose lyric is simple yet so inspiring. One of my favourite songs ever!

…Yeah, you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me, girl, we can rule the world
Yeah, you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side, we can rule the world!“

You’re beautiful – James Blunt

Oops is this the 11th song? :O Nvm, I just leave it here for you. Remember. You’re beautiful! <3

Ps: This is a full youtube playlist of the above 10 songs that you can watch them all together.
