The 13 Day Challenge

CHALLENGES ARE WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING, 

OVERCOMING THEM MAKES LIFE MEANINGFUL

You see our Christmas break turns out to be from December 20 to January 5, it is a long period for a break considering the previous stats on the number of vacation days we have. So I decided to make these days count by doing something very interesting. I challenged myself to complete a list of random tasks. I call it the "13 DAY CHALLENGE" All the challenges are easy to do but technically all of them are things that I usually don't have time to do. The challenges lies in completing all of them while not missing out on the fun of Christmas and other festivities. Finding the TIME to do it is a priority that I can't disregard. ENTHUSIASM is another thing to consider, how can I get the best out of it if I don't have the right attitude towards each task. Most especially I need to have the DETERMINATION to make each challenge a success. 

This is a page taken out from my NEW 2014 Planner that was given to me by a very special friend. I'll always keep it in my mind.

The Difference between the Impossible and the possible lies in a Man's Determination

 If you just take the chance and make the most out of it, then you'll be one step ahead to making all your dreams a reality. You just need to take baby steps first. My way would be starting from simple tasks and learning from those experiences, using those lessons by applying them in my future endeavors.

THIS IS THE LIST OF MY CHALLENGES

* READ A GOOD BOOK*LETTER MAKING FOR LOST PALANCAS*FINISH ALL SCHOOL WORK IN ONE DAY*JOG EARLY IN THE MORNING*PLAY IN THE RAIN/ SHOWER IN AN ARTIFICIAL RAIN*MAKE MY OWN BLOG *WAKE UP EARLY SEVEN TIMES*PLAY A BASKETBALL GAME WITH BROS*DO A MAJOR MOVIE MARATHON OF 7*ORGANIZE ALL MY FILES*MAKE THREE LIFE POEMS* SLEEP AT THE ATTIC/ HAVE A CAMPING*PREPARE MY PLANNER EXTRAVAGANTLY *TWITTER CHALLENGE *CHRISTMAS SPEECHES FOR MY FAMILIES                                                                                   Simple and Satisfying. Brief but Meaningful. Easy but Time-consuming. Challenging and Interesting                   

I have a Confession though, as of this moment I have only managed to complete 12 out of the 16 that I have. Though I am not able to complete everything but I did manage to start those FOUR tasks. I'm looking at the brighter side in things, I mean I have a lot of days ahead to complete this unfinished challenges. One thing I learned is it only takes a pen and a paper to remind you of the things that you could do and what you could have done. Completed or not, at least I know that I have it in me to challenge myself...to have that determination to complete it...and the openness to growth that whatever experience it brings forth to me I'll take it as a lesson that I can apply to achieving my bigger dreams.
