Shift your mindset, shift your life!

We can live upto 150 years old!
Dr Susan Lim, Chairman and CEO of Stem Cell Technologies (i), a leading adult stem cell biotechnology company headquartered in Singapore; Was interviewed in Channel News Asia. She said that we can live upto 150 years old! Bravo, I like that. If you have not read my earlier blogs, I mentioned that I walked out of a Seminar several years’ ago with my mind shifted!
According to the Seminar Speaker, Marshall Thurber, we could live up to 120 years. From a retiring mindset, I walked out all zesty to do something different! I believed that I could live upto 120 years and it was a turn around of my thinking.
Dr Susan Lim’s interview reinforced my believe and it’s all very exciting. I hope men and women experience the same shift in me. Life just begun! Where do you see yourself 3 yrs down the road? 5 years down the road? If it is too long for you. Think about what are the things you have always wanted to do and have not done. Be a child again!
What do you want your life to be about? If there is something you wanted to do and have not done thinking it’s too late, it’s too difficult, it’s no use, think again!!
Six months’ down the road, what are the List of 50 things you want to do?
- Climb the highest building in S’pore?
- Swim 2 laps non stop?
- Participate in your children’s school’s Cross country run?
- Join the public speaking club e.g. Toastmaster’s Club?
- Trek to a waterfall?
- Learn to sing
- Take up a new course for a career change
- Do your own business
How to live a long, strong and joyful life?
Since I walked out of that Seminar and knew that I want to live a long, strong and joyful life, my mindset was shifted. I knew I want to get out of my comfort zone. I do my research and read ferociously.
- Trekked to Jerangkang Falls, Tigers Fall & many others in Malaysia
- Climbed up the 60 storeys Republic Plaza,
- Cycled 40km organised by OCBC
- Swam from Esplanade to the Merlion
- Went night cycling with my children,
- Climbed Mt Aspiring in New Zealand
- Climbed Mt Kinabalu
- Enjoyed the 4-wheel drive into the jungle & camp there
- Set up my Mindset Coaching business
- Attended loads of Seminars, Courses, talks and got myself re-educated again.
- I realised I value myself, I am worth it!!
- And many more
From too difficult to Just do it!
I did all the things that I have no idea that I would do before. They were all too tough, too much work, challenging, no use, all the negative thoughts. I have learned to trust, let go and trust. Just do it!
I also realised today that it has been six years already. If you have not started to get out of your comfort zone, shift your mindset, one thought a day, start today, three years from now, you will see, feel and experienced a new ‘you’. Guaranteed!
