Was talking to a friend today and some things came up…
I am a person who likes to solve problems. I am always trying to change or fix things. This is not the best place to start from. If I look at it the situation as it is, and think of what can be created in that, it would work out better. It’s really in the language, my purpose behind change/fix would be the same as creating something, but if I use the right language, the right attitude is developed.
On the same lines, I am somebody who likes to break things apart and then put them together. That’s how I built a tape recorder, or a model plane, or a model rocket or some nifty software. I sense I may be doing that in relationships too – hurting somebody and then covering for it. If I change the language and context here, that would also make a big breakthrough.
On another plain, was going through Robin Sharma’s “Who will cry when you die”. There is a note about mastering time. It says: Since we do not know when we are going to die, people take time as an inexhaustible resource. We then procrastinate things. If we treated time as a really precious resource, we will be able to do effective time management.
