I KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I DON'T DO IT (II)

I was talking about knowing things to do but do not really want to do it in fact. I kind of promise that I will continue to talk about it, and  It’s a bit sad knowing that I posted that on March 3 2016, and I am now just typing to continue my writes

Ups! So long, in fact that’s too long for a write up. Sorry, I was just too busy on the work and (again. Sorry!) I was just too lazy. Aha!!

COMFORT, was one topic that I brought up as a cause why people don’t really do what they already knew they have to do. We are too afraid or too comfortable to leave our comfort zone. Change is good, but frankly speaking, its scary as well, too much worries

The second thing is GOAL. What about it?

I took a Mandarin class couple years back, it was just because in the city like Surabaya with huge Chinese community, ability of speaking Mandarin is a plus in person qualification. Its interesting , while in my daily work, speaking Mandarin is not needed at all, Mandarin proficiency is not much needed in the field I am into. So, long story short, I went through the course in full spirit in the first week, but when dealing with the difficulty of writing Mandarin letters (Chinese Pin Yin), I gave up.

Why? Because I do not have a clear goal of doing this thing. Clear goal or target is an energy we need to fight when dealing with struggles / barrier or obstacles. I could not find the important points of speaking Mandarin incorporated it to my daily work. I can only speak little bit in Mandarin just because of growing up in Chinese family. Well, to some people to sacrifice their time to learn something new is good, but to me in this kind of thing, especially in learning Mandarin, aaah, I just don’t like it. AHA! 

It leads me to the third thing I’m gonna talk about, PREFERENCE

I love to read and sing. Reading and singing are never boring to me, its always bring joy and cheerfulness. Find things you like, and get into it. By having it we can go on and on joyfully. I do not have to think whether or not they will be useful in work or daily life, I just like it, I love it.

We know we have to do things but do not want to do it well. Check those three items : COMFORT, GOAL, PREFERENCE

What about living a healthy life, go on a diet, do exercise? Those are all must do things. Get out of our comfort zone? Aaaah, big NO, fighting a battle of laziness, aaah no no no (Hey, this has already been my constant battle hahaaaa). We don’t want to loose the battle (of course), but how many time we fail, we know how the guilty feeling will ruin us. But the show must go on, life must be lived healthy and well

I make a peace of myself. I accept my self the way I am and forever thankful of this curvy body GOD has entrusted to me. I do what I like to do in align that with a healthy living style. I do walking, I eat what I like but I limit it, I sing and never stop practicing to strengthen my diaphragm muscle. I do it in a pleasant way, and I go on
