Last night we had our monthly gathering with peak staff members at Mary & Jane's house. I absolutely love these people. Every time I hang out with them, my heart just goes warm and fuzzy.
Later on in the evening, Santa showed up! He went around the house and threw tinsels everywhere. Then he gave everyone presents and told us a story. I must say, each gift was quite uniquely hand made. I got a little tea cup, and I must say, probably the most thoughtful Christmas gift I've ever received.
This year definitely feels di
fferent. When I went down to Palm Desert, I noticed how there were evergreen trees with ornaments all over them. Yes, they were pretty and all, but something didn't seem right. It looked so out of place. I'm in the middle of a desert and there's evergreen trees? That's kind of weird. And so I thought, how materialistic everything has become during Christmas. Yes, I'm sure we've all heard of it before, how Christmas is about being with your family, not about the gifts. You see, I'm the Christmas decorator in the my family. Each year, the first week of December, I'll put up the tree and on the same day there would be presents pu
t underneath it. But this year, it's December 10th, and my tree still isn't up yet.It makes me wonder if maybe my Christmas spirit is slowly fading, part of my growing up? However, I'm glad we had our peaks party. It made me feel like I'm home again, like when I was a kid. I sat on Santa's lap and we used crayons and did some colouring too! It was a picture of Who-ville =)

I was at church a couple of weeks ago, and Father Scott said, the day that we learned the word "tomorrow" is the day that turns our world around. From that day on, we learn that we can set things aside and leave it for "tomorrow". It becomes such a habit for all of us, including me, that we learn to procrastinate. Instead of getting something done today, right now, we'll leave it for tomorrow. When tomorrow comes along, we'll say we'll do it tomorrow. This trend just keeps on going, and we just end up not getting it done. Or, we'll leave it to the last minute, when it's almost too late sometimes, then we get upset about it, wondering why we didn't get it done earlier. Currently, I'm suppose to be "studying" for my final tomorrow, but I'm constantly on Facebook and blogger. I was just browsing around on Facebook, reading the live feed from my home page. Looking around, I found out that we all set ourselves up for failure. I see how people are complaining, "fuck my fucking life, I got three finals tomorrow". And it's always the same thing around the same time at different periods during the year. Question is, why don't we learn from it, and fix it so that it doesn't happen again next time? Wouldn't it make our lives just that much easier?

I was just at Never Work Again, a seminar held by Peak Potentials. It was held at the Hyatt Grand Champion Resort & Spa in Palm Desert. I was amazed by how many people were at the event. There were over 700 people attending, who all traveled from all over North America, and some even from all over the world. This course opened up my eyes to so many opportunities towards passive income streams. It was definitely worth the trip down.
