Some of us live with the mentality, "one day at a time," and others with a definite long-term plan. Whichever way we choose to look at life the goals we work for are to be successful for when we are ready to "kick the bucket." But, what if the world was to end this year, would you change how you view life? Would you:
- say thank you to those who always have a place in your heart
- would fix loose ends with a friend that hasn't been so smooth?
- worry less over the frivolous things and focus on things that make you happy
- lose the ten pounds been telling yourself you would
- learn a new language
So, why wait?! As a society we forget with the fast pace lifestyle to slow down and take care of important things, sometimes even more important than the work that we haven't slowed down for, that matter and mend the loose strings. We need to step away and this START of the year make a list wether mental or written to set priorities that we will make time for even if work/school seems to be taking us full throttle.
The reality is, in fact, that the world is available of millions of opportunities and there isn't just one person who can master all. The realization that we together is the only way that this world can function is important to see... sometimes we are under the influence that because we are capable of doing things well we are better off doing tasks ourselves, when eventually we need another's knowledge, contacts, and references to move forward. The need for jealousy is only a fight fought within ourselves, and life is as complex as we CHOOSE to make it.
We hear leaders sounding optimistic and simplified when they speak, but the fact is that they choose to make it THAT SIMPLE. Test it, or take a circumstance and think of all the emotions that tagged along and which ones that were actually with reason.
Emotions are what inevitably makes us human, and the ability to voice those are just as important. We all have to come to see that as from different backgrounds and views/experiences of the world that we handle situations differently, and although may vary drastically one isn't more right than another. We must learn to accept that, be aware, and work on it.
Books to my recommendation:
"The Little Big Things: You"
"Men are From Mars, Women from Venus"
