How many of us keep pondering about something which happened today/yesterday/ day before yesterday/ years before yesterday..?
- A fight that we had with our parents leading us t conclude ‘they just don’t love me enough’.. (everyone must have experienced this)
- Or a horrible messy argument with your loved one which leads to ‘‘ohh, I’m gonna loose him forever’’ / ‘‘how could he do this to me?’’
- a non-competent feeling because your boss did not praise you enough for your efforts.. “she’s just partial towards XYZ”
- a huge fight with your confidant.. your bestest friend.. which completely lets you down.. may even make you feel like never speaking to him/ her ever again..
- A tiff with a colleague/acquaintance at college.. leading you to say “he/she is so selfish, I would never do that again”
All of us in our life must have experienced similar feelings & experiences while dealing with people & circumstances.. but we keep thinking & thinking & thinking about it at least for sometime..
Today something happened which made me smile & realize how I can see things differently..
I have loads of ‘post-its/ notes’ on my desk on my side board which reminds me what do I have to do today..
Every morning I come to my desk, remove all the post-its / notes which have yesterday’s date on it.. and make fresh one’s for that very existing day.
I never have any problems dealing with work/over-work/ too much over much/ today’s commitments.. because I know I have sorted my yesterday and ended it there and then. I don’t carry forward my yesterday’s work to today.
If we start doing that for our personal life with friends/relatives/family/ situations.. would we ever be unhappy/disappointed?
If we have had an argument with someone today, firstly stop blaming the other person completely. If still you feel it’s the other person’s mistake – fine! Face it, accept it that he/she doesn’t care and move on. Take a decision to alter your behaviour. Two things will happen – a.) person will realize their mistake if you give a cold shoulder b.) you are not thinking, so you are anyways happy irrespective
If every problematic situation we faced YESTERDAY can be taken as a consumer truth, whats the consumer NEED GAP & then identify the reason of the FRICTION/ BARRIER.
Generate an insight, implement it to your today. The pay off will be ‘A HAPPIER YOU’.
Let today be an insight from yesterday & the base for a new plan for tomorrow
