I keep on starting and leaving the habits. So its time to accept no way I am going to implement all the 5 habits.
Still,I am in a better position than I was a year ago.Atleast better disciplined and knowing about myself more. After a long time doing a journal entry, has been very revelaing. Like bring in front of the things , which i just ignore and going through the life in a sleepy routine. So my mind is bubbling with thoughts of improvement in my lifestyle and mindset. I begin to slip away when other pressures are coming due to past commitments.I am not doing anything drasctically, just watching the difference between the reality of me and the ideal me and there is quite a lot of gap.
Usually, I always quote like I am doing the job thats why I am not able to do this and that. Just looked into the hard facts is that the truth. So here is what I come up with.

This had been a very revealing fact to me. So, why I am not doing things matters to me then. Because, I don't want to work to go my goal place, I just wish to go there.So, Job is definitely not an excuse. After doing this started logging my daily hours.I don't want to look into the hours still a month is over.So lets see how it goes.

Got a 11% hike .. Heeyyyy..
.. Skipped for promotion although I am more than eligible for that..
.. I think I am very bad negotiator.. Even if I put slight efforts on the job I can come up quite easily with good hike and good positions. I am restricting my growth in my job.For the past one month, I was thinking whether people take me for granted because I never ask for anything, except for a stable location. I have been doing work outside my project. Maybe thats what reflected in my hike. I think I am very underpaid when I heard about the position of the people with less knowledge than me. I have to rethink my entire career and give it a different look. I know this is not very ERE
. I think the return on investment will be very high. So going for it.
I am identifying myself very much with my job. This spells a VERY VERY BIG problem. So have to work on that part too. This may be due to lack of interaction with the outside world other than job and family circle. I am not actively searching for friendships and opportunities. I am just accepting whatever life hands over to me.I am grateful to where I am , but stilll....
August is going to be a big month for me in case of finance, as I am planning to shuffle and pay debts to a large extent..
