Well well well....its now the beginnings of July and a 6 month review of 2011 is in order..
So far I wold have to shamefacedly admit it has been a pretty crappy year personally, politically and even weather-wise. Now you know that when even the weather is all wonky on you, the tendency to sink into a funky blue mood is inevitable.
What do we have here now? Career in auto mode, mood at an all time low, relationship status still at it is and basic overall outlook in life not too rosy. I suppose its good to have these 6month reviews to re-evaluate and take stock once again of the Life According to Kevin Kandiah.
I recently had a chat with a friend of mine who happens to be a PA to a hard-driving, successful Dato. The usual grumbles and heart pouring of the day to day going ons and perils of working under such a demanding individual was the order of the day and, as it often happens, and epiphany struck me...
Why do we often if not always try to suit the situation unto our lives instead of vice-versa? We all know the only thing constant in this Journey of Life is CHANGE and yet we fight so hard to keep things the way WE feel should be...i mean ur boss is gonna be the same ole SOB he will always be (but he's the SOB who's driving the Jag and holidaying in Ibeza) so why not change the ME?
Attack life with different strategies and find one that suits you AT THE MOMENT. DO NOT, however, permanently stick to that strategy as Life will throw you and curveball one moment and a cannonball the next. So ...be FLEXIBLE. Flow through life as water. Bruce Lee said it best..."Empty your mind...Be formless, shapeless..You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put it in a bottle or a teapot, it becomes the bottle and teapot...now water can flow, or it can crash....be water my friend...."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USlnfTGlhXc&feature=player_detailpage
