I know that I should have updated this blog earlier after the previous post to jot down the necessary but I had not have the opportunity to as I am too busy with other things.
After last week, I realize that I tend to worry too much about certain issue which does not have any detrimental consequences. Yes, being positive and relax does help you a bit. It prevents you from worrying which results in bad mood that may affect everyone around you. I used to worry about this but I realize that I have no one around me to affect except my family. Yes, I have devoted much of my time and effort in them. People close to me used to say that I should try to balance out my time better. I promised to learn better time management skills and have better control over my emotions. However, before I realize it, these people are all gone. (Of course, they're still alive. They are just not by my side, that's all.) It's ok, friends are be made and soul mates will come by when the times come. I will need to learn to treasure them more and not lose them when the opportunity arises.
I had a slight break this weekend and travel a little to celebrate Mother's day with my family. It was a short trip, but a meaningful one. I hope everyone has made good memories through this short trip and relax themselves for the upcoming work week. I realize that time is never enough. When we have time together, we often lose them by focusing on our messages on phone, our emails, our games..We think that these are of a higher priority, or maybe we are just trying to avoid socialising with others. However, we will regret when we realize one day we don't have any time left for that person. I wonder why I did that all the time. I will start to treasure the time with my loved ones more and stop multi-tasking all the time. I should listen attentively to what they have to tell me and reply them sincerely. I should change the habit of replying someone haphazardly when I am sms-ing or msg-ing someone else. I probably am able to change this by practising more and keeping midndful about how other the party will feel when you are just entertaining them without giving your sincere reply. Maybe I am just bad in multi-tasking, some of you might be doing a great job in this. No matter what, I think this got to be changed for my sake and for my loved ones.
With the recent experience, I realize that I'm a family-oriented person. I definitely put them before my work. This may not be ideal for certain organisation and institution whereby they want employees to put their work first to produce results reflecting the best of their abilities. When things like this does not coincide and it's an obvious mismatch, we are not supposed to accept blindly and try to change ourselves to fit the organisation or institution needs. The old saying goes "it's our life." We need to live the way we want to, not the way others tell us to. Most importantly, leave no regrets behind (as much as possible). Things may not always go our way. There bound to be obstacles no matter what we go. We shouldn't lose our way because of that and should focus on our goals, our values and our passion. I don't think that I realize this too late because I believe there will be a chance for me to change my current lifestyle. I need to be focus and relax so that I will have the energy to grab on opportunities that come knocking at the door (or perhaps me knocking at their door, hoping that it will open).
Now, it's time for me to rest well and prepare for tomorrow. There will be things that I have to work on and I will do to the best of my abilities. Not over-extending but don't stop trying as well. If I really get dismissed some day, it is probably because of incompatibility instead of incompetence.
Hope you guys have your weekend and have a good rest later. ^_^
