When I was a kid, I was quite a messy person. And to get me out of this bad habit, my father told me "A place for everything and everything in its place". He used to repeat it as many times as he could when I was being messy or disorganized.
On growing up, this habit faded slightly. It did not evaporate as it should have. Now, this brings a host of problems starting from indiscipline to chaos and clutter.
So for now, I wish this bad habit evaporates completely.
In continuation to the above point, I realized something new today "A time for everything and everything in its time"
Yesterday was a day of massive reflection on the time I have wasted. Most of it was spent on impatience. In college, my English teacher once included in her lecture the bad habit of my generation to expect instant gratification. I did try to work on it and not expect instant gratification. But I did not succeed. I was reminded of the big things in my life where several months passed by with no result simply because I was expecting instantaneous gratification. In the cases I was studying, I was not being bratty or adamant. I was probably greedy and definitely impractical. These things put me into perspective. So I decided this morning to stop instant gratification and rather give it the time it needs.
To support all these thoughts, I have been surfing the internet and I stumbled upon this video.
So let me share some insight that I had in my life. Focus on the efforts and not the results. I am not sure how well this will work. Now is not the time to think of it. Six months later, I will check out if this worked or not.
Yesterday, I was terribly sick because of the starvation that I chose to call dieting. In an attempt to save myself, I ate food bought from a restaurant. This sabotaged my plans big time. That's what led me to a flood of thoughts of how I failed on the very first day of my job.
I saw a video that is apt, and I wish to share it here. This is either for myself when I revisit this page for reminiscence or for anyone who is actually jobless or cares a lot for me (both equally improbable cases). This dosage of swearing is pretty much justified for what happened yesterday.
