Hello everyone,
Today is Friday, April 30th….the last day to submit our tax returns...hmmm…I could almost vividly picture the packed LHD offices throughout Malaysia…knowing Malaysian “last minute attitude”...which is an accepted habit of us…preferring to do almost everything at the 11th hour…wait a minute…there is a name to this habit…oh yesss…it is called procrastination…
Procrastination is an old habit and dies hard one...too...
Until now I am still struggling to overcome this habit, to throw it out the window and door of my life, locked them out and throw away the key so that MR PROCRASTINATION would never be able to ever come by to visit me again…but like all Malaysian, I have yet to win this battle with MR P….
Every time I think about the time wasted thinking back wishfully…I feel as if someone has dumped a huge bucket of water over my head and my fire is extinguished…ever hoping that this is only temporary occurrence and my internal flame would be rekindled on time to proceed my journey through life.
Often we hear people telling us…”take it slowly and relax”...well may be they are right after all…very often we have to slow down during which we take the opportunity to reflect and ponder and to plan our next course of action..
In fact today, I feel rather cloudy, rather depressing time? What could be the cause I wondered? I have done my tax assessment and as far as I am concern…I have resolved to keep everything under controlled and as calm as possible...that is emotionally speaking …I would rather be conducting my personal life with flair and confidence, taking time to get some perspective on things in order to be in the right state of mind to make any important decision..
Talking about making important decision, have you all ever noticed that often the thing you want most is the very thing you have trouble getting!!!Often people around us get very antagonistic and refuse to submit to our rules or desires. They rather say black when we say white and vice versa. Sometimes these get on our nerves and give rise to a passing sense of frustration, but that is how it goes…opposites often attract!!!Or do they??But we need to learn to be patient, not to expect too much of others and act with prudence. We have to take one thing at a time, remove one obstacle after the other in order for us to progress in life. Just make sure that we are always ready to open up to others and to always remember that life is good. Let us progress through life with great enthusiasm, leaving the dark clouds behind…
To everyone out there…including myself, stop waiting and procrastinating…do it now, today, this very minute…remember that the very thing that stops people from reaching their goals is MR P…
Until my next posting, remember what Dr Robert Anthony says:
"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait.
The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results,
And reasons simply don't count”
Until then…live with passion and take care…..
