The Classic Car Coin in detail
By: Farsight Automotive B.V.
Tags: Investing, Classic Cars, Tokenization, Blockchain, Token Sale

Formerly reserved for an exclusive circle of investors, the Classic Car Coin has managed to open up the market for classic cars to the general public.The focus of this ambitious project is the development of a broadly diversified portfolio of historic cars, which show a high value growth potential.

The focus of this ambitious project is the development of a broadly diversified portfolio of old- and youngtimers, which shows a high value growth potential.

Interested investors have the opportunity to buy shares in the entire portfolio as well as in the company behind it, the Farsight Automotive B.V.

More than just a business idea — physical assets as security

Each Classic Car Coin represents a share in Farsight Automotive, which is responsible for the development, administration, maintenance and distribution of the portfolio. In contrast to most company shares traded on the free market, the main part of the value of Farsight Automotive is not based on existing licenses and technologies or even on a mere business idea, but on physical assets: the historic cars.

Traditional rights, modern technology

The Classic Car Coin is a fully regulated security token, which offers many analogies to the classic company share in terms of rights for investors. Each Classic Car Coin represents a share in the company. Associated with this is the possibility of dividend distribution, which can be initiated by the resolution of the annual shareholders’ meeting. Additionally, a voting right is granted. The weighting of the votes is based on the amount of shares held. Major shareholders thus have a greater influence within the voting rounds that have been announced.

Advantages of the Blockchain technology — maximizing efficiency and transparency

The use of security tokens has two main advantages over the classic construct of a stock issue. On the one hand, the efficiency of the cash flow, both in the issuance of company shares and in the distribution of dividends, can be significantly increased. On the other hand, the use of the blockchain technology allows a precise tracking of the Classic Car Coins issued, the dividends and the distribution of the company shares held — and this completely anonymously. Thus it is publicly visible when which company shares are transferred. For reasons of data protection, however, it is not possible to assign the shares to specific persons.

Kapex Price Oracle (Part
Tags: Cryptocurrency, Defi, Ethereum, ICO, Token Sale

🔥 Join our telegram group & subscribe to the whitelist: kapex.io/white-list 🔥

Kapex Price Oracle is predicting an asset price by evaluating various factors like its supply, demand, mass media, Legislative changes, Total Addressable Market (TAM), Percentage of token market penetration, Turnover rate, Number of coins in circulation and more other factors.

It should be noted that within the framework of the native protocol, any crypto-asset serves as a means of exchange, accumulation or unit of account. ‍

KAPEX Oracle protocol uses the following formula: M х V = P х Q where:‍

M (Monetary base) — the size of the asset’s monetary base in stable coin;‍

V (Velocity) — token turnover rate for a certain period of time;‍

P (Price) — the price of the provided digital resource;‍

Q (Quantity) — the number of resources provided.

To evaluate a crypto asset, KAPEX Oracle need to find the value of M through the formula:‍ M = P x Q / V‍

M is the monetary base, calculated in dollars and necessary to support the crypto economy of the token. In the bitcoin example the annual average M, due to the inflationary nature of this asset. Taking into account the constantly growing monetary base is necessary when working with young crypto assets, which can be classified as hyperinflationary.

P is a variable that denotes not the price of a crypto asset, but the price of a resource that this asset provides as part of the operation of the crypto network.

As for the Q variable, this is the number of resources provided.

The variable V shows the token turnover rate, in other words, how many times the asset has passed from one user to another in a certain period of time. Using the formula M x V = P x Q, we can calculate V, which will be equal to P x Q / M.

In addition to the variables of the exchange equation, TAM, and the percentage of penetration of the crypto asset into the market, KAPEX Oracle also considers two components that affect the value of the token — the current utility value (CUV), which reflects the level of value and use of the token today, and Discounted Expected Utility Value (DEUV), which reflects the expected value of the token in the framework of investment speculative activities.‍

The current Kapex Oracle model has four sections:

Section A displays the number of tokens in free circulation;

Section B defines the economics of the protocol using values from the exchange equation;

Section C predicts the percentage of adaptation of a crypto asset in the target market;

Section D discounts the future value of the crypto asset to its present value.

Part 2 is coming….

Mooner Token Allocation Event

We are almost two weeks into our token allocation event and what a journey it has been to get us here. The amount of planning and execution from the team in Singapore and our exclusive Partner Global Alliance has been instrumental in getting us to where we are and where we aim to be.

Mooner App Pte Ltd, decided early on that the development of Mooner App and the token allocation event of Mooner Tokens be kept separate. Though both are intrinsically intertwined, the best way forward for us was to have our focus not be digressed. Boy, are we glad too that we decided on this collaboration.

Staying true to our core, to enable, all videos and additional material that Global Alliances needed, we put them together with the best effort we could. During this journey, personally i would say that they have helped us grow our talents and knowledge. Their structured approach has helped us pave out a better way for us to do things too.

The development of Mooner App has been moving along at a much faster pace with the motivation and renewed energy team Global Alliance has unknowingly brought to the table. We are excitedly testing and improving the user experience with our developers. There is absolutely nothing better than seeing the app on our very own devices, rather than a bunch of screens and imagining the entire flow.

We are also ecstatic to integrate a renowned crypto payment operator within the app. This means, paying directly into our users’ and service providers’ bank accounts when they choose to withdraw MNR. With the fact that they operate globally, scaling globally will be tad much easier. We have some ways ahead but an announcement is due once all the details are finalized and testing goes as planned.

You can view progress of our token allocation event here on BscScan or search Mooner Coin. To participate, do get in touch with Global Alliances, they are our exclusive partners for token distribution.

TOP 10 LIQUIDITY POOL— How WISE Token‘s massive liquidity provides investors with security, stability, and huge growth potential!
Tags: Cryptocurrency, Altcoins, Crypto, Bitcoin, Token Sale

How does WISE Token manage to provide massive liquidity for its investors?

WISE Token has developed a simple solution to this problem. The smart contract (audited and unchangeable) transfers at least 95% of the money from the pre-sale to Uniswap on 31.12.2020. Subsequently, the LP token is burned by the contract. For the investors, this creates a liquidity pool worth millions of dollars that cannot be withdrawn from the market. The liquidity remains ownerless and blocked on Uniswap.

What advantages does WISE Token achieve for its investors with the large ownerless & locked liquidity?

LONG-TERM SECURITY

WISE Token creates a highly liquid market for its investors, where every investor will be able to realize his profits and investments at any time. The constant availability of the exchange pairs also prevents price jumps (slippage).

The liquidity is available to investors independent of any system. It is completely decentralized and free from any third-party influence. The liquidity level protects WISE Token from market manipulation by large investors. This creates trust among investors and provides long-term security for your own investment.

ASSET-BACKED CRYPTO

With the transfer of over 95% of the collected Etherum, the WISE token becomes an ASSET-BACKED Crypto. Behind each WISE token is a correspondingly high equivalent of Etherum. This gives the WISE token high stability in case of sales pressure and at the same time provides an enormous price sensitivity for price increases. The smallest increase in market capitalization leads to a direct rise in the share price.

All in all, WISE Token sets new standards with its massive ownerless and locked liquidity and solves the usual problems of the young crypto industry. It gives every investor the security of being able to dispose of his invested capital and profit at any time. Only this security can turn a cryptocurrency into a long-term success.
Multi Farming powered by Kapex Protocol
Tags: Eth, Cryptocurrency, Presales, Defi, Token Sale

We’re bringing Double Farming back and making it even easier.

All DeFi projects strive to create the perfect product but they all are very similar to each other. How many Uniswap or Curve clones already exist? Why do you need to make 100 coins that have the same meaning… There are 99% of DeFi projects with such tabs: Staking, Farming, Loans etc. Boredom!

We have developed a completely innovative farming model and called it Multi Farming. What is it? Let’s figure it out.

When faced with staking and farming in the DeFi space, your options are always limited. This is beneficial for today’s platforms. On the one hand, beginners do not yet know what is what there and experienced users are just already used to staking one coin. We have developed a Multi Farming system that will allow you to stake a coin on the Kapex platform, receive a reward with a higher percentage than your competitors, and also be able to stake tokens that you have not yet received. Very confusing, I know. Let’s go straight for an example:

You have decided that you would like to stake 1000 USDt and receive 20 KPX as a monthly reward. Great choice, good percentage. As soon as you have staked 1000 USDt, you have the opportunity to stake 20 KPX that you do not yet own and already receive a reward in one of the 5 main coins: DAI, USDt, USDC, ETH, UNI.

How it works?

By staking USDt, the system blocks the given number of tokens on the smart contract. Our AI system calculates your estimated APY and exposes the estimated amount of KPX remuneration. This amount will be displayed in your system and will change every 15 days. You can stake instantly and receive interest already in the stable coin.

Example:

User 1 staked 1000 USDt at 24% APY. The Kapex AI system has calculated that the monthly remuneration will be 20 KPX per month (at a price of 1KPX = 1USDt), taking into account the deduction of two percent risk. After signing a transaction in one of the convenient wallets, the user can instantly stake 20 KPX and receive rewards already in DAI, USDt, USDC, ETH, UNI. Every 15 days, the system will recalculate the monthly remuneration and only change your restake volume.

Multi Farming is exactly the missing link that was so lacking for the perfect functioning of DeFi platforms and increasing earnings without any additional movements.

Kapex creates DeFi products that make our users’ lives easier and more profitable.

Aluna Token Private Sale, ALN IDO Cancelled
Tags: Presale, Aln, Private Sale, Aluna, Token Sale

The ALN public sale, originally planned for 15th to 29th December 2020, is cancelled. These tokens will be sold in a private sale starting 7th December 2020.

ALN Public Sale: Q2-Q3 2021

The permissionless nature of smart contracts and decentralised exchanges means that there is no way to enforce geo-blocking or KYC on IDO platforms such as Mesa and Bounce.

In light of recent regulatory developments, the Aluna team has decided to cancel the IDO until further notice due to regulatory risk.

There will be no ALN IDO on Mesa or Bounce in December 2020.

The 5,000,000 ALN originally allocated to the IDO will be sold via private sale starting 7th December 2020.

A new public sale is planned for Q2-Q3 2021.

ALN Seed Sale Successfully Concluded

Our seed sale which started mid-2020 has completed and was oversubscribed.

10% of the total ALN supply was sold in the seed round, between $0.04–0.08 with 6–12 months vesting which starts when public sale ends.

Our flagship product is now live, and we will be announcing our strategic partners in the next few weeks.

ALN Private Sale Details

5% of the total supply (5,000,000 ALN) is available for the private token sale.

Private sale price is $0.08/ALN with 6 month linear vesting (by block) from exchange listing. Minimum contribution is $10K and KYC is mandatory.

❗ Important Note

There are multiple scammers impersonating Aluna’s brand and team members on social media. Please note that our admins WILL NOT PM you first. Beware scammers with similar usernames, and do not send any money to anyone who says they need funds urgently or promises to pay you more.

ACXT Token Burn

ACXT Token Burn

Burned Amount

We burned the unsold tokens in the cACXT convertible sale as promised to our community. The total number of tokens burned was 280,198 ACXT.

The contract address of ACXT:

https://etherscan.io/token/0x7bE00ed6796B21656732E8f739Fc1b8F1C53DA0D

Andy promised the community that the unsold cACXT will be burned.

Future Buyback & Burn

While this is the first token burn for ACXT, this is not the last. Every quarter, we use 50% of the maker fees received to buy back ACXT from our secondary spot market and burn the tokens.

ACXT Applications

Other than token burn to balance the ACXT supply, we provide a few ACXT applications to help expand the token’s utility value.

Firstly, we have the Liquidity Farming Program where market makers can earn ACXT by providing liquidity to ACDX.

Secondly, we grant ACXT holders the right to involve in exchange governance.

Thirdly, we offer ACXT holders exclusive trading privileges.

Lastly, we empower ACXT holders to earn additional ACXT by staking ACXT.

From token burn to ACXT staking, all of these helps to broaden ACXT’s utility value. Unlike typical tokens, we hope that our exchange token can bring true values to the holders. Functional, understanding, and trader-friendly!

Hello my friends!

I took some time off this past week with my family. Sometimes you have to ignore the fear that society has been telling you for the past several months. That also doesn’t mean to get careless when you’re out.

Recently, I put together an article which you may have seen. I just want to share it with you.

With 2021 days away, you need to get focused. Set some goals. I think setting goals gives you the desire to pursue something each year.

The hardest part is staying focused on your goal.

Maybe you need to keep a journal or your progress.

Find someone else to join you on your goal.

Post your progress on social media to have your friends keep you accountable.

If you missed the article, here it is below.

1. Say good-bye to FEAR.

2. Plan like you are playing to win a chess game. Don’t play chess? Scrabble works as well.

3. Keep building your emergency fund in case your city runs into another round of the virus spreading.

4. Learn to invest if you haven’t already. Investing is one way to build your reserves. Government and work retirement plans are very unpredictable.

5. Work off the virus weight you put on. A healthy body is a great way to avoid getting sick.

6. Cherish and spend time with your loved ones as best as you can.

7. If you are in business or a writer, you need to focus on the next 12 months. Figure out what you can do that is different to set you apart from your peers. What you did in 2020 was good, but you need to make 2021 better.

Enjoy your week and have a Happy New Year!

Looking forward to seeing you again in 2021.

Tom

After a crazy year, it’s nice to look forward to the one that’s quickly approaching.

I had so many plans and goals for 2020. We worked our tails off, and we did get a lot accomplished. With the world-wide pandemic, it shifted our priorities and brought was was honestly important to light.

Some garden beds were quickly established, a chicken coop erected. Freezers were stocked and the pantry was filled.

We got through the shutdown and before we knew it, we were back to work, trying to get used to the ‘new normal’.

Then we got slammed by not one, but two different hurricanes.

Once again, priorities were shifted and we worked towards pulling through, and doing what was necessary.

What Comes Next?

2020 was a year of reaction. We had to react to what was thrown at us and spent all of our energy just trying to sludge through. Well, the time of reaction is coming to an end.

2021 is going to be a year of moving off the path I’m currently on and forging a new path straight towards all the goals, all my wants and desires, coming true.

The goals I had for this year that weren’t accomplished will be moved to next year. They will be improved and added on to.

What Did I Learn?

2020 helped build the foundation of what I wanted to accomplish. I’ve had time to adjust and learn my surroundings a little better. Because of that, I can hone my goals in tighter.

I’ve learned what is important, and what is extra. Some of my goals from this year I realize needed to be more thought out and not as important as I once thought they were.

Some of my goals because of changes made beyond my control, became unreachable. That sucks, but that’s life. I’ve got to be realistic about what it is I can do and how important it is to me.

As I plan for what I want to do and all the things I want to accomplish in the next year, I will carry the successes and lessons learned throughout this year and hope that by learning from the past, the future will be brighter.

I didn’t fail this year. Failure would be giving up and that’s not something I did. The things I did not succeed at, I will retry a different way.
Why do we only ‘start’ but not ‘continue’?
Tags: Start, Learning, Goals, Habits

Do you feel like sometimes you want to do or create something, you already start at the beginning stage, however, you tend to not continue to be doing it regularly? For example; you start exercising for one week but stop for months. Or start your blog writing but stop it after publishing a few articles.

Please do share why and how to stop being this

2020 Yearly Personal Reflection

December is the time to look back at the year and see how it went before looking at a new year and new goals.

Yes, it was a weird year. But no, that’s no excuse to just call it a “weird year” and move on. Your actions define who you are, even in years like this.

Also because, what if it happens again? What if this is lasting for another +2 years? What are you gonna do then? Just let life happen without you designing it?

No matter how it went, it’s good, at the end of every year, to take the time and do a small check-in. Grab a journal and a pen or anything you like to write on and follow along through the following questions.

Be as honest as you can be, this is for you and no one else. As usual with journaling, you’d be lying if you were anything but brutally honest.

This is my own way of reviewing the areas I think are most important, feel free to follow along or edit as you go.

HEALTH-BODY

How do I feel? Do I have high energy every day?

If yes, what I am doing right?

If not, what could be the cause?

Could I have done more to be healthier and fitter?

HEALTH-MIND

How do my emotions match what I want to feel every day?

Have I practice gratitude?

Have I scheduled enough time for myself this year?

Could I have done more to be more tranquil?

FAMILY

Am I the best husband and father I can be?

Have I spent enough time with my girls?

Is my wife happy?

What have I done to make my family happier?

FRIENDS

Did I make any meaningful connections?

Am I showing up for the people in my life?

What could I have done more to be there for them?

TIME

Am I running my day or do other people run it?

Does my calendar match my goals?

How much time have I spent reading and growing VS playing?

How many series have I watched this year? For how long? Was that the best investment of my time?

Could I have done more to spend my time better?

WORK

What were some successful moments this year?

What went wrong?

What did I learn?

How do I spend my time outside work?

Could I have done more to be in a better position?

FINANCES

Am I where I set out to be at the end of the year?

Where did I spend money intentionally and where did I waste money?

Are there some expenses I could have cut?

Could have I saved more?

Could I have done more to be in a better financial situation?

CONTRIBUTION

Have I helped my friends when in need?

Have I helped strangers? How?

Have I inspired others where I could?

Could I have done more to contribute to other people’s lives?

For every NO, write WHY and what you could have done differently. For every YES, write what are you doing and think if you want to continue or how to improve.

Hopefully this yearly reflection will make you a little bit more aware before entering the new year. It is also very useful before setting new goals.

Indeed, a few minutes here and there of an activity adds up. Looking at those minutes from a goal perspective, even when taking just 20 minutes a day to work on your goal is already a wonderful step towards reaching that very goal! Keep your steps digestible and attainable to increase motivation and to keep that momentum going.
Don’t wait for Horoscopes to tell your future… Create one…

It’s a feel-good factor for a lot of people to read their horoscopes every morning to check how their day looks like. They are so excited to read it and at the same time, they blindly believe it. Though it’s great psychology since you live in that positive energy it actually works for you.

I think it’s a placebo effect though, which is good if it's working right, however in the long run one needs to take the charge and ownership of their own life and results. Our thoughts define us and it’s our thoughts that guide us through. Where do these thoughts come from?

Well, what you think is precisely what you have been believing, your journey of self-growth comprises of your learning over the period of time. These learnings primarily come from your upbringing and then your surrounding but along with that, every individual has self-discipline. It’s the discipline that helps to form the character of an individual.

Everyone has dreams, but not everyone focuses on achieving them. If we ever sit ourselves down to ask ourselves “WHAT WE REALLY WANT?”, we may get our answers. Some may take time to get there; it is a continuous effort that one needs to take to visualize themselves, implement, and work towards it bit by bit.

Even one step taken towards working on something is a step closer to achieving what you desire.

Yes, life is only finite but it’s certainly not short. It is easy to dream with closed eyes, but if one really wants something, it needs to be worked on with open eyes. Dreams do come true but there are no free lunches; hard-work and perseverance are required to experience the dreams for real.

Everyone is born unique, no similar people will experience the same good stuff mentioned in the horoscope. If you are ready to create your blueprint, you will not need to keep a check on your horoscope.

The next time you want to know about your day and your future, simply be aware of what has been worked on so far.
Daring to Face Your Blank Page — Daily Quote
By: Jo Hawk
Tags: Quotes, Blank Page, Motivation, Goals, Writer

It appears innocent and unassuming, fragile, thin, and benign. The blank page is a pop culture icon, and it is formidable. It induces anxiety, fear, panic, and feelings of inadequacy. The blank page reduces creatives to blithering idiots, incapable of action. Alaa Al-Aswany says writing is the “conflict between what you want to say and what you could say.”

Perhaps we should shift our thinking, channeling Michelangelo when he said, “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block before I start my work. It is already there; I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.” Maybe our story is already there, written, and waiting for us to release it.

Staring into 2021, with its unlimited possibilities, we can find ourselves frozen, afraid to move. The train wreck of 2020 has increased our level of hesitation, adding threats of impending chaos, the sensation of lacking control, and the feeling of standing at the edge of a cliff overlooking a sea of the unknown.

Yearlong goals seem too optimistic, yet I can’t abandon my goal-setting practice. Targets are like a story outline that serves as the structure for our lives as we take bold strides forward. So, this year, I plan to create bite-sized goals, and I am adopting a 13-week strategy. Step by step, we advance, aware of an ephemeral dream, an imagined destination, and an image of what we want to become.

What path will your goals create in the new year?

I have been struggled a lot to find effective ways to achieve my goal.

I am sharing 7 steps which helped me a lot to transform my life drastically.

𝟳 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹:

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Do not be trapped by dogma- which is living with the result of the other people’s thinking.

Don’t let the noise other’s opinions drown out your heart and intuition.

1. You should find out the goal that you want to accomplish is related to your passion. I would like to warn you if you set goal against your passion, there’s a high chance to fail.

2. Make a list of skills that help to acquire your long term goal.

3. One by one work on that skills & practice for perfection.

Don’t rush to learn a new skill.

4. Make a fixed schedule in a disciplined manner as per your routine.

5. Prefer baby steps or domino effect (short terms goal), don’t try to hit your goal in one shot.

6. Get rid off negative mindset people & try to make surrounding yourself with optimistic people.

7. The last & most important point is “ Don’t Quit till the accomplishment of goal ”.

More than 98 % of people quit before reaching the border to accomplish the goal.
I Can’t Hear You

When communication grows awry.

A: Hello.

B: Hey Sarah. It’s Mia. I need to ….. yesterday but …….. I was going to ……

A: Ugh. Hello?!.. I can’t hear you. You’re breaking off.

B: Can you …….. in two weeks ……. Thank you.

The phone drops abruptly.

Bad connection is always a bummer but it’s a perfect illustration of communication mishaps.

There’s a quote that says,

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” — George Bernard Shaw

The person on the broken line believes they’ve relayed information. But the receiver is left bewildered and will probably spend the next few hours or days deciphering what the conversation was about. What could have possibly happened yesterday? And what’s happening in two weeks?

I find that sometimes, we have full on conversations in our minds and draw conclusions without any verbalization. Most conversations we have with ourselves are never really intended to go beyond the periphery of our minds. But that’s just the problem because it’s no longer about what we’ve said, it’s about we don’t say — or better yet, what we think is obvious and clearly communicated but to the other person is amiss.

It is just a dead end, looking for the REAL goal of a University: to seek a career in which you really need a University to work. Otherwise, courses like these are sufficient. Money and University do not go hand in hand!

Step 1: Recognize Priorities

I often hear people saying they are working hard to achieve their dreams, and that’s really appreciable.

But the question arises, are you working hard in the right direction?

I bet every day you must be doing a lot of work, ranging from small household chores to big tasks in your to-do list, but how often do you ask yourself that “is the task that I am doing currently, taking me any close to my dreams?”

I have seen that most of us love being busy, after all, it gives us a sense of pleasure that we are working hard, and satisfaction that we are not wasting time.

But, are you actually differentiating between productive tasks and unproductive busy tasks?

If your aim is to become a programmer, but seeing others code, reading from books, and dreaming about a software engineering job is all you do, you aren’t going to make any good progress. If you want to become a coder, coding should be a priority for you.

The same thing is true for everything, once you have your dreams clear, ask yourself, what are the things that bring you closer to your dreams, and what are the things that make no difference.

Learn to identify the productive tasks, spend time on them.

Learn to identify the unproductive busy chores, get them done quickly.

Here’s how Amy did it

Amy knows she wants to get the role of SDE (Software Development Engineer), and she also knows that to do so, she needs to be good at data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and other core subjects.

But sadly, her college keeps on bombarding her with tons of assignments and exams.

Fortunately (unlike many), Amy has understood what should be her priority and has started taking action.

She plans to spend more time doing competitive programming, and less time on college assignments (of course, she doesn’t plan to ignore the assignments, but she knows she can get them done real quick).

Here’s how Jimmy did it

Jimmy knows that if he wants to be a successful content creator, he needs to expand his reach over various social platforms.

Earlier, Jimmy has tried putting lots of content on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Medium, and YouTube.

Much to Jimmy’s surprise, the content on LinkedIn and YouTube gets much more engagement, and the content he puts on Twitter gets almost no engagement.

The reason might be anything, but this is a signal for Jimmy to start making more attention on LinkedIn and YouTube to scale his content (and later on, he can bring attention to his Twitter handle as well).

Amy knows her priority is learning the skills that can fetch her a job.

Jimmy knows his priority is putting more content on which platform
Make Your Dream as Big as You Are

Tags: Dreams, Life Lessons, Goal Setting, Goals

Posted By: Randy Gage / December 27, 2020

No one who achieved a breakthrough accomplishment did so by holding tiny, incremental dreams, the kind many people label “sensible.” If you desire to do something remarkable, you need bold, daring, and imaginative dreams: Dreams that create a compelling, almost magnetic pull upon you. The dream must be powerful enough that you throw the sheets off in the morning, eager with anticipation to go for it. Magnetic dreams like this help you create the right goals for yourself and provide the map to guide you to bring them to fruition.

If your dream is created for virtue signaling, to appease someone else, or to fill in the space in a workbook, it will have no magnetic pull. As soon as you face serious resistance in achieving it, you’ll likely crumple like a cheap suit. You want to build a compelling dream that pulls you toward it, through the difficult times.

It doesn’t serve you or the universe to play small. Humility is a virtue, but false modesty or holding back from your highest good is anti-prosperity. Muscles that aren’t exercised will atrophy; dreams, visions, and desires operate in the same way.

Your dream needs to be as big as you are.

And that’s really big. Because you don’t want to create a dream for the current version of you. You need a dream big enough to tantalize the future version of you, the highest possible version of yourself. If your dream isn’t contagious, courageous, and outrageous — you’re just not being realistic.

If your dream doesn’t scare you a little, create a bigger one. Because the bigger you make your dream, the bigger your dream makes you.

Peace,

On setting goals for the new year
By: Genevieve Bosah Ph.D
Tags: Trust The Process, Goals, New Year Resolution, Goal Setting, New Year

In a few days, we will usher in a new year and for many, the new year offers an opportunity to start afresh, make resolutions, dust up forgotten goals we made the year before and try again.

I don’t remember when I started to question the yearly ritual of goal setting, it might have been out of the frustration of constantly abandoning them after a few months in the new year or as the painful reminder of unaccomplished goals that stare one in the face at the start of a new year.

Perhaps, instead of merely setting goals as we normally do each year, why don’t we take stock of the ones we made in previous years and interrogate why they fell by the wayside? Instead of whipping out a new journal and making grand plans, why don’t we pick up the old one and carefully examine what went wrong? Why don’t we rollover goals that we made in the past and keep them as objectives that we need to work towards.

One other issue I have with “setting goals” is the what next question. So, what happens after that goal has been met? I think there is a lot of fixation on the goal and not the process. The process is much more important than the goal itself. When we set a “goal” to achieve something or to become better at something, what have we learnt about ourselves in the process to achieving this goal.

I remember after examinations in school, a few friends and I would discuss what we did right and what we didn’t do well. We discussed alternative solutions to the problems that we could have taken and how to avoid failure in the next semester. I do recall that it was very painful process and someone refers to it as tortuous exercise. Indeed, it was. It wasn’t/isn’t pleasant to over one’s errors but it is necessary.

The benefit of retrospection is clarity. Clarity on how to do things better. Clarity on how to do things differently and clarity on what to avoid.

I am not advocating avoiding goal setting altogether but to shift focus from just the goal to the process in attaining the goal.

Wishing you a happy and productive new year.
