This is not intended for all you folks who advertise your success and promotions on Linkedin and Facebook but for introverts like me who face nothing but adversities and are challenged everyday for their basic survival. It's a rollercoaster for most of us and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Two steps up and four steps down has been the story of my life. So much so that I'm not interested in advertising my success nor admitting my failure. It's mostly failure and may be that's why I feel so.
Whenever I feel bogged down or hit a wall .. there are only three questions which help me either to feel better or worse about the situation.
First .. Am in control of this situation ?
If the answer is no .. I'm human and feel disappointed but if I'm not in control .. there is not much I can do about it and just think about the consequences when and whenever it occurs.
Second .. if the answer is yes ..
What can I do to change it to my preferred consequences ?
I get to action and I regain my best and act on it.
Third .. the most critical..
Can I do something to influence the decision maker's actions to act on my behalf ?
This is very tricky and is what mostly occurs when we hit a wall.
There is no fixed answer to this .. this may be an emotional outreach or a logical alternative or a jugaad out of the template altogether.
The ultimate idea is not to worry ahead of time and let it ruin your peace of mind. For, if you lose your temperament, the best of your decisions turn into an emotional outbreak and you tend to ruin your relationships forever.
So chill .. and let destiny take your life ahead. Just address the 3Qs and if you're still unable to sort out your life .. let it take its course.
Cheers,
See you then next time.
