As I’m writing this post, David Cook’s (American Idol 08 winner) “This Is The Time Of My Life” is playing on full blast.

It’s a hell of an inspiring song, if you haven’t heard it yet (where the hell have been?), go to Ares.com and download it.

When you’re finished downloading, put on your headphones and ramp it up at full blast.

You’ll feel the same too.

We’re now smack in the middle of ‘08.

To be honest, this year didn’t really go as as expected.

Times are tougher as we approach the year end.

With cranky weather, the recent spike in oil prices, consumer & commodity goods, raw materials ever increasing, sales for a good majority of businesses falling, economy topsy turvy, we can’t deny it’s a challenging time for us all.

Despite everything, let’s strive ahead and keep on moving forward, there’s still a good 6 months more before we’ll be saying goodbye to ‘08, which obviously means there’s STILL time.

I constantly ask myself, out of the many goals I’ve set for myself back in January this year, how many have I achieved so far?

Yeah, I’ll be the first to say it, unfortunately, not many.

Nope, no excuses too.

What about you?

How has it been on YOUR side?

How many have you proudly striked off with a resounding “yes!” and how many of the things you’ve promised yourself to achieve, to get it done, getting them handled but have failed to do so thus far?

If you’ve got a bunch of them down striked off happily, my hats off to you. (how’d you do it??)

But if you have not, again… there’s still time… before the year’s race is over.

Let’s all promise ourselves to stop messin’ around, start catching up and sprinting like MAD towards the finish line and end the year with a BANG, shall we? (Or is it just me? lol).

SURE can.

SURE will.

I’ve done it several times before in the past, and hopefully (fingers crossed) I can do it again this year (or is age finally catching up? ekkee.. OF COURSE not-lah!)

Rite on, let’s do it!!!

Push.

Push.

Push!

Here’s to wishing you all the best in whatever dreams, whatever goals, whatever you’ve wanted to get ‘handled’ this year…

Have faith, it CAN be done!

Song Lyrics (Chorus <– the best part):

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time

“This is the time… this is the time of our livessssss…”
