My life is like a DVD??
Just saw the movie "Click" by Adam Sandler. Good movie! So what would you do if you can fast forward to parts of your life where you enjoy and just leave the lousiest part to your "Remote Control Self"?
Like I mentioned a lot of times to my frens, life is like a roller coaster without any tracks, you never know when you are going up or going down, which if you think it properly, makes your life more exciting and something to look forward to. And if you are lucky and have the correct mindset, you can even determine how many ups and downs you can have on your life roller coaster. Of course for a life roller coaster, we would want more ups then down, but when is up an up and when is down a down?? It must be measured relatively right? It is up when you move from down to up and it is down when you move from up to down. :D
In life, we need the 'up's to make us appreciate the down, learning from the lesson it generates and we need the 'down's to make us know how valuable an 'up' is. Imagine a roller coaster that keeps on going up, very boring in my opinion.
But it does not mean that you keep your down, the longer the better, you only need a bit of down to enjoy your up most of the time. Your life should be like a stock that keep on going up with occasional downturn so that you can move up further.
Another thing from the movie. Have you worked too hard that you neglected your family? A family does not build on material comfort alone. Material Comfort only forms one of the pillar of Family. Warmth, Care, Concern and Forgiveness and others form the other pillars.
Work is needed to settle bread and butter issues, but working to provide material comfort for family in return, not spending enough time with family, should be a no-no. We should not neglect our family. Work and earning money is secondary because there is no way you can earn all the money in the world. If you study economics, you would know that a lot of money is generated in this world and if you want to earn all the money in the world, it is ridiculous. Money is replaceable,but the time you spend with your family is definitely not replaceable at all, in fact it is priceless. Now that is a good gift to share with your family, YOUR TIME.
Moral of the blog: 1) If you cannot remember when your family did something together, start to reschedule and provide more time for your family, remember they are irreplaceable as well.
2) Learn to appreciate the ups and downs in life, there are definitely there for a reason.
Cheers!
