How many times have you start something and didn’t finish it? A book, renovations, workout, stop drinking, leave junk food addiction or any addictions, and the list is unlimited.
Sadly it is a “manufacturing defect” that we, humans, have inherited. We are not build to work and be disciplined all the time. We were made to enjoy life too.- To flow with the mood.
As we live in a world in which “flowing with the mood” isn’t a great way to achieve anything. Can someone tell me how it can be possible that so many people just don’t have any ambitions?
If I take a few hours off to watch series on television and postpone something I had to do, I feel bad about it after. It is like I wasted my time even if I enjoyed it.
So how can it be possible for someone to do that all the time? I really don’t get it.
To be fulfilled and accomplished, you must decide to wake up in the morning, kick your butt and make your day valuable.
You have to decide to achieve something.
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I know it is good to be lazy sometimes. To snooze from time to time on a weekend day is one of the greatest rewards after a tough week. And, yes, I enjoy this. One or two hours, not 6 hours more in the bed!
You can’t achieve anything significant by flowing with the mood. Anyway, what exactly is this mood?
Most of the time, the “Mood” is our mood. The way we feel at this moment. The problem is that it is very addictive not to do anything, to be lazy. You do it one time, and soon after, you notice that you had wasted your entire week.
Following the mood is a dangerous thing. It is a dreams and goals killer. So take care of your moods. Is it a good one to step in or not?
From time to time, it is excellent to just follow the mood we are in at the moment- when we don’t feel it. When we are not in the right mindset to do something in particular. There is nothing terrible in that if we don’t stick in this mood!
So my advice is to forget about the mood. Do not listen to it. Let me explain.
If you get up in the morning and you are not in the mood to write, don’t but do something else that will fulfill your day. Don’t waste your entire day watching television.
Stay disciplined! Discipline your mind. Get back to your journal and read out loud your affirmations. It will help you to get back on the right track. That is a good way of kicking your butt off!
You have to make the call. You only can decide your day. Of course, we do not have perfect and total control over all the events, but we do about how we act on them.
Then, at the end of the day, when you will look back, will you be satisfied, or will it be a lousy sensation of wasted time? That will put you back in your bad mood again. It is a vicious circle.
So what is it going to be today?
