ot. Ideas of possible and impossible change.
Juggle around with
this list. Look at it in different ways. If you’re serious about this,
I’ll recommend creating versions of this list based on a variety of
factors - urgency, ease/difficulty of achieving, sets of items related
with each other, and so on. Heck, why not, even create one based on how
possible or impossible they seem (though ease and difficulty may
address that).
Now, come back to the original list based on
importance or urgency and pick up the first couple of items on that
list and see where they stand on the others.
These few items are
where most of your conscious efforts are going to be directed. Keep
coming to this blog to find out how to deal with them individually, but
suffice it to say for now, keep them in focus always. Print those lists
out or take those papers and staple them together and stick them on top
of your fridge or computer monitor, where they will be staring right
back at you.
Why? Because they are a part of your life. In fact,
this lack is an important influence on your life. It is your
dissatisfaction and we are planning on turning this into motivation.
For this to happen, it is important that you stop running away from
them when you can and being overwhelmed when you can’t, and learn to be
comfortable looking at them enough to be addressing them as the time
comes.
In the coming posts, I will be dealing with very common
items on people’s lists and seeing how they can be managed. It will not
be easy, but its not particularly tough either. In the meanwhile, if
you think there is any particular “item” you’d like me to address, feel
free to drop in a comment, and I’ll give it a shot.
What makes
me certain that this works - its what I’ve always been doing, and I
have managed to create a life for myself where I am not highly
educated, I’ve never had a job, and have changed professions too often
to have “stable earnings” in any one, yet, I have never lacked for
money (earnings, not inheritance), am a respected professional, and
have achievements, sources of income in multiple fields, and a happy
family life (well, as happy as chaos can get). I have never earned
money from anything I don’t like to do, and I never have to land up
anywhere for work that I don’t want to go. Do I sound like I know what
I’m talking about?
