https://bit.ly/8SecretsZYX

Z: Outcome - It is great to begin with the end with mind! Figuring out who, where and how you want to be should always be your north star.

INSIGHT #2:

Find your Y - It is imperative to know yourself more and find the true meaning of your life, it will then help you align yourself with that of your north star

-Sean Paul Baldemeca, M22 MARKMA

INSIGHT 1: There should not be a choice between Health, Wealth, and Happiness, but all should be given focus, and the time is NOW. This can be achieved by the 8 steps of ZYXWVUTS (an inverse alphabet that represents the secrets that can be revealed by Prof!)

INSIGHT 2: Comparable to Simon Sinek who starts with “Y” or Why, our amazing Prof. Bong advocates to start with Z or The End, because Wealth, Health and Happiness can be achieved when we start with the end in mind.

Insight 1: Health, wealth and happiness should always come together. It may be challenging to get all but if you start with the “Z” or the end in mind which is the starting point in the 8 secrets to health wealth and happiness then this is acheivable. 

Insight 2: Acheiving your goal is helpful if you actually start with Z and Y. Oftentimes, we also forget about the X which are things we cannot do. Knowing the X is also important because this helps you keep in track of your end goal. ZYX should always come together when planning and this is also applicable at work not just in life goals.

Insight # 1: Clear Focus on Goals (Z) - The concept of Z represents the ultimate outcome or goal that individuals or organizations aim to achieve. This aligns with Stephen Covey's "End in Mind" habit and emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision or mission. By defining Z, individuals can set a non-negotiable endpoint and work towards it relentlessly, ensuring that their efforts are directed towards a specific purpose.

Insight # 2: Prioritization and Sacrifice (X) - X represents the sacrifices and prioritization required to achieve the desired outcome (Z). It signifies the things that individuals must give up or avoid in order to stay focused on their goals. This aligns with the idea that success often requires discipline and the ability to say no to distractions or less important endeavors. By understanding and embracing X, individuals can allocate their resources and efforts more effectively towards achieving Z.

2. Strong reason (Y) - The purpose of an action should be its core. It inspires and unifies people to accomplish the task.

It's important to have a clear, specific vision (Z) of my goals. This vision should be SMART - specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Additionally, define my "why" (Y) - a compelling reason that motivates me towards my goals. Aligning my vision and motivations creates a path to achieving what I want.

Insight 2: What Will You Not Do (X)

Focus and prioritization are powerful. Identify and minimize distractions that take time/energy away from my goals. By consciously prioritizing and directing efforts toward goal-aligned activities, I can make progress on what matters most. Eliminating distractions enables focus on the vision and motivations previously defined, ultimately leading to the health, wealth, and happiness I desire.

Insights:

• Achieving balance among health, wealth, and happiness requires self-awareness, adaptability, and conscious decision-making. It involves making choices and trade-offs based on individual priorities, values, and circumstances while striving to integrate these three dimensions harmoniously into one's life.

• Finding your "Z" encompasses a process beyond typical goal setting. It involves defining your ultimate goal ("Z"), understanding your motivations ("Y") through identifying your "Whys," which bolster your determination and perseverance, and finally, strategizing and executing the necessary steps ("X") to achieve your goal. This planning and action phase ("X") often demands the most effort and may require sacrifices along the way. Ultimately, reaching your "Z" requires a combination of clarity, resilience, and disciplined action.

This short but powerful phrase encourages to start any endeavor by clearly defining one’s ultimate goals and desired outcomes. By having a clear vision of the destination, one can better align their actions, decisions, and efforts to ensure they are moving in the right direction. This stresses the importance of setting goals and creating a roadmap before diving into tasks, projects, or life in general. It helps individuals stay focused on what truly matters and increases the likelihood of success by providing a sense of purpose and direction.

Insight 2: IF THE Y ISN’T STRONG ENOUGH, WE WILL GIVE UP

If the motivation behind reaching your goal isn't compelling enough, you're likely to quit. The strength of one’s purpose plays a vital role in sustaining the commitment needed to overcome challenges until the desired outcome is achieved.

Insight 1: Health, Wealth, and Happiness are equally important and we must choose to have all three NOW since the synergy between these three creates a balanced and thriving life and focusing on one aspect alone may not lead to sustained well-being, as they often complement and reinforce each other.

Insight 2: We should start by considering our ultimate goal or the Z. This strategic approach helps provide a roadmap for effective planning and serves as a guide for prioritizing which tasks and actions to take in order to achieve Z. Y serves as our motivation and it provides a sense of purpose to attain what we want, and the X are the things that we should cease doing in order for us to achieve our Z.

Health, wealth, and happiness are interconnected, but their importance varies for each individual. But we can achieve all three now. While striving for balance, remember:

• Prioritize well-being: Invest in healthy habits, meaningful relationships, and experiences.

• Make wise investments: Choose what truly enriches your life, beyond just wealth or perfect health.

• Practice gratitude: Appreciate what you have, fostering a positive outlook.

Life is a journey, not a destination. Focus on making thoughtful choices and finding a balance that works for you.

"Starting with the end in mind" means envisioning your desired outcome first, then working backwards to create a roadmap for achieving it. This provides clarity, motivation, and efficiency.

To do this:

• Define your goal: Be specific and detailed about what you want to achieve.

• Set guiding principles: Align your goal with your core values.

• Break it down: Create smaller, actionable steps.

• Be flexible: Adapt as needed, but stay true to your principles.

• Review regularly: Track progress and adjust your plan.

Start small, share your goals, and embrace the journey. See failures as learning opportunities and don't give up! This practice can help you navigate life with greater purpose and success.

Start with an end in mind. This is somewhat related to the "BE*DO*HAVE" mindset that I learned a few days back. The ZYX+ mindset/model could unlock new possibilities to persons aspiring their positive futures. With this in mind, the only limitation for anyone could just be the extent of their imagination, and time. So, it is important to start now.

Insight #2:

Your "whys" should be stronger than your excuses. This somehow translate to - "you are the master of yourself". Your biggest adversary are the doubts in your mind. You must discover and protect your deepest reasons in order for you to rise up every time you encounter hurdles on your journey.

Insight 1: We can be healthy, wealthy, and happy now. We just have to start with a clear goal (the end in mind) and have strong reasons for this goal - stronger than any excuse we think of.

Insight 2: To choose just one or two between being healthy, wealthy, or happy is a disservice to what we all can really do about our lives, because in order to be truly complete and content, we must aim to achieve all three, and one of the ways is to follow the 8 steps to success of Prof Bong.

- P Roberto, MarkMa M22

When discussing and choosing over health, wealth, and happiness, we should not prioritize one over the others; instead, we should strive for balance. You cannot truly be wealthy and happy if you are not healthy. Likewise, you cannot be wealthy without being healthy and happy, and you cannot be truly happy without being healthy and wealthy. Balance among these aspects is crucial, and we have the power to achieve them with the right goal in mind and perspective.

INSIGHT 2

Always determine your Z, Y, and X. 

Z: What is your precise goal, objective, and desired outcome?

Y: What is your “why?” What motivates you and drives your actions?

X: What are the things you can sacrifice? And what will you prioritize to be able to achieve your goal (Z)? So that you can fulfill your motivation (Y)?

Sharing here a link to Taylor Swift's song that touches on happiness and balance while achieving your goals. It may be about enjoying the carefree spirit of being young and having fun, but it also conveys a sense of balance between responsibilities and enjoying life. The lyrics express the joy of living in the moment, making memories, and embracing the happiness of being true to oneself. It is a celebratory anthem that captures the essence of finding a balance between work, play, and personal fulfillment.

Insight#1

Let's BE happy now mindset is all that counts to push forward to "Do" and ultimately to "Have"! All forms of challenges are bound to happen in everything that we do, such a thing is inevitable so why not be a winner now act like a winner now and do the work and fulfill everything you wanted!

Insight#2

I wanted to emphasize on the "T" because we already know the definition of the ZYXWVUS. T keeps us grounded, it defines how urgent our goals are, our commitment of time defines our progress where we are and accomplishing beyond or before timelines defines our achievements

A dear mentor and friend of mine, Sir Pagsi, once shared, "Ang masakit at mapait ay nagiging kaakit-akit depende sa 'yong "Bakit"". I've always used this to remind myself to always have a good understanding of my purpose and my "why" in order to keep myself on track and driven in life.

INSIGHT 2: Start with the end (Z) in mind.

For a brief period in my career, I've already tried doing things without the end in mind. I realized that I was unproductive and I didn't feel fulfilled as I was when I had a clear goals in mind that I worked hard to reach. So this served as a great reminder that starting with the end in mind can make life better.

Having health, wealth, and happiness is hard to achieve at the same time, but using XYZ as a guiding principle will help me achieve it sooner. With this, I can get better and better every day.

Z means I must begin with the end in mind. I must set clear goals and objectives for each aspect of my life and then work towards them with intention and purpose. It should be SMART goals and actionable steps.

Y provides me with a strong purpose of doing the things to achieve my goals.

X reminds me to choose my priorities and things I must sacrifice to achieve my goals.

Insight #2

The Story on the other 5 secrets to success is important because it’s a powerful tool for achieving our goals. Stories inspire us, teach us important lessons, and make us feel connected to others. When we hear about someone else overcoming obstacles to reach their goals, it motivates us to keep going too. Stories also help us imagine what success looks like, making our goals seem more real and achievable. Also, they boost our confidence by showing us that others have succeeded, so we can too. When we share our own stories and listen to others, we create a supportive community that motivates each other towards success.

INSIGHT 2: It is crucial to articulate WHY do we want that outcome or the Z because this will stand as anchor that is stronger than whatever excuses that may potentially arise as we navigate ourselves towards that outcome that we desire.

INSIGHT 2: I shall utilize the Z-Y-X-W-V-U-T-S framework to set goals for my own health, relationships, and personal growth. Break down big goals into actionable steps and make these realities reachable within this year.

-ISAGANI S. CARREON, M22 MARKMA

Insight #2: The concept of setting boundaries highlights the significance of discipline and prioritization in the pursuit of goals. By identifying what they will not do or tolerate (X), individuals can effectively manage distractions and maintain alignment with their vision, thus increasing their chances of success.
