Resolutions vs. Distractions

In the briefing room….

‘Hi, I am S C, initial of my name.....’

At my work place, we meet totally different set of team to work cohesively and to achieve the common goal.

Thus, we need to introduce ourselves in the briefing room before we head to the aircraft.

There are always too many of us to remember and my colleagues sometimes ‘misheard’ my name. The most common names that I get are Elsie and Estee.

To me, those are still wonderful names to be addressed….I would just leave it that way of what they are comfortable with….

However, there was ONE, only one among about 5,000 out of 7,000, I can’t say I have met all my colleagues… called me ‘Ignatius’ through out the trip…

Hahah….. He is unique! He is really good!!! Creative!!!

Do you have a resolution that has made for number of years, and yet you have not achieved it successfully?

You could say for zillions number of times, you would want to do it, and yet when the time to put into action, you say to yourself ‘perhaps next time I would do it,…’ or ‘after this …, … I would do it.’

You understand that almost all goals has the positive and negative sides of it and yet….seems other tasks are as important…

Or you feel that you want to finish the other tasks first, so that you can focus to achieve the main one.

Yet, it seems never ending story…. The other tasks keep coming in to distract you…and the distractions have become your stories to tell yourself or even others….the reasons why you are not DOING IT NOW…

This could be a lifetime resolution, it could be an eating habit, drinking habit, an action to buy a house, call up a friend, or even taking up a course or bringing your love ones for a trip….

It can just take a day for one to take the action…..

For some, nothing had happened for years for such an easy job….

What is the difference between the one who has taken the action compare with the one who delaying it?

What are the differences between the two?

Have they?

Have you gone through an important and yet difficult exam before?

What happened to you at that time?

You worked very hard before and celebrated after the exam. Right?

Before the exam…

For that one-month, you phone calling and outing have come to minimize…

You were so focus that you were not bothered to match your clothes or style your hair that much to go to the exam hall.

You were even used minimum time or postpone all the celebrations e.g. birthday parties.

You were so focus that you could not even bother to clean the house or car as frequent as before.

The taste of your favorite food has changed, as your focus was not there to enjoy eating it….

In front of your favorite series on TV, seems your heart was not there to enjoy watching it…

Nothing was as important as going through the exam smoothly…

You FOCUS was on the center of the dartboard…

There were no stories or excuses of distractions….

You have experienced that, don’t you?

Yes, you have.

YOU SEE!

YOU CAN STAY FOCUS TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!

YOU HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE!!!

YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD IN STAYING FOCUS…

For you resolution,…either you NOT TO NOT, TO take the action NOW or TAKE THE ACTION NOW….

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS…
