Just Thoughts

Going from point A to B is a plan, the shortest path is the straight line.

The issue is not the time you take to reach your destination, it’s how smooth the process is!

It hit me, that why do I always expect things to go smoothly as if it’s the default?

Maybe it’s meant for us to encounter a bump or two or even more along the way, that’s the norm. If it is smooth and dandy all the way, then you have hit the jackpot.

You are always told that you learn from problems and issues you face in life.

OK, seriously, how much can one learn. Isn’t there a limit, give us a break, enough lessons about life for a while!

When pursuing a goal, a plan is formed and tasks structured to be executed.

But it doesn’t go according to plan most of the time!!!

Everyone has gone through that process. Go back in time and remember a journey and how it all went down. A simple task or errand you did.

For me, the ones that surface first are the toughest, the roughest goals I achieved and the ones I failed to achieve.

Maybe because those are the ones hard-wired to memory, because emotions are involved. Where as if everything had gone as you planned, your heart doesn’t skip a beat, you don’t break into sweat, you don’t experience the adrenaline rush when things go astray. So you have to go farther down memory lane to remember.

When you start going down a road, your focus is the finish line, your target. You forget to enjoy the ride, stopping to smell the roses and taking a deep breath, or even picking up a stone to smack whom ever is bothering you on your way there

You may make it to the end or not. The most important thing, is that you had the courage to take that first step.
