Inadvertently, one of the humdingers for all of us that plummets you into a yesteryear’s trance like period, that just flew by and for sure it was the best period of your life.
Call it a human psyche or draw a relative reference to anything you are attached with; “We are dwellers of the past and adventurers of the unseen future”, forgetting to live in the present. The tendency to cherish the golden past is so strong in subconscious that it never allows the current time to set in to rejoice the moment we have in our hand.
The phase you are currently turns out to be a Bête Noire for most of us. Somehow, we go back recalling the amazing time we had in the previous org/role with a rocking team we used to work with. However, in stark contradiction, when you actuate the time, that you spent in that métier, you never enjoyed it, not with the intensity you are bragging about it, now. Try to reminiscence loads of challenges that you were struggling with or were grappling in dark about possible solutions to an irritating/irate dotted line manager/pending solution to key client/horrible company policy at el. Life was never a bed of roses there, neither it’s here and it’s never going to be, at least in corporates. Ironically, just like today; during parties in the past office, you used to tell tales about fantabulous time you had in ANOTHER office, previous to that; Howzat….!!
Likewise, we literally invest a fortune (time and money both), carefully drafting and planning the funds, ventures, education, kids....and what not. All this melodrama, to regale yourself as Successful or to add a Sense of Security for future; for a time, which is unpredictable to the core...
This observation can be extended to include all spheres of life (not only professional) whether it’s your current affair with the past, your social circle then and now, friends, relatives, location and on and on.
Somehow, we are failing to live and enjoy the moment we have in our hand, making the best use of it and living it to the fullest. We are talking about lesson learnt from the past, attributes needed to take you to a certain height, making you worried about changing trends and what future holds for you. The entire paraphernalia is abominable and surely is negating the value of TODAY
How difficult it is that to imagine that today is the only day you have and you want to be happy, more than you need to successful. You need to simplify life, it is never complicated, solutions to everything lie around us, and it’s about finding them with simplest approach and if not then there are alternatives available.. Keep the memories (of the struggling period you are passing from now) safe so that it makes you smile sometimes later and keep future in mind to have a direction… but don’t dwell in it
This day, TODAY is THE BEST DAY you can ever have and nothing can replace that, no matter what…!!
