Spontaneous

The state of frustration is always spontaneous. How about the other states of mind?

Are you always spontaneous in whatever you do? Whether or not a person is spontaneous is dependent on individual and situation.

I am a perfectionist. Perfection do not gel with spontaneity. Being in that state, somehow life is slower and seem to be more convenient because there is no need for quick decisions at any one point of time. How does it affect the life of a person in this fast moving era when everyone is working at lightning speed? Do I need to follow what others do? Do I need to follow how others handle the situation?

Whether or not you want to go with the flow or stay where you are is entirely up to you. Nobody can force you to become another person or like the other person. It is all within your own reach. It is all within your own control. However, it does not take much effort to learn from others.

As human beings, we are given the gift of mind. Our mind is so powerful we are able to make dreams come true. Our mind is the one most important asset that we have throughout our life on this planet earth. Are you using your asset to the fullest? Or are you just keeping this asset in cold storage until the time is right to expose your potential?

Our mind works like a computer. It can store as much information as you want it to. It can analyze information if you let it to. It can also suggest actions for you. It is all up to you to decide whether or not you follow your thoughts or you let yourself continue sitting and waiting for the right timing. Have you ever asked yourself when the right time is? Or have you ever asked yourself what the right time is?

Everyone perceive things differently. That is the reason why everyone react to situations in their very own unique way. Sometimes people agree with each other that this solution is the best. However, the action towards that solution is more often different. It is the effect from being actioned by a different person or being done at a different time. This is normal. We cannot expect everything to be the same all the time because different people react differently to situations at a certain point of time in their life.

We have to understand one very important point, nothing is perfect.

Perhaps you understand it but you are still that same perfectionist. What can you do about it? How do you go around it?

The first step. You only need to take that first step. Get out there and just do it. Train yourself to understand that you can always perfect it throughout the journey, not at the start. You do not have to make it perfect before you start your journey.

There is the little voice in you telling you that you are not ready. And then you have even more voices asking you “what if …” Great!!!
Turn that around to ask yourself “What if I do not start today?” instead of “What if I fail tomorrow?”
Turn that around to ask yourself “What if I regret for not starting?” instead of “What if nobody like me?”
Turn that around to ask yourself “What if I succeed tomorrow?” instead of “What if people laugh at me?”

It is all in the mind. You only have one thing to do. Change your own perception. Ask your own questions. Be your own self. Being in this state of being is the best form one can ask. What else are you looking for?
Do what you dream. Dream what you do.
You are already as perfect as you can be.
You only need to be confident about yourself.
You only need to be confident to make mistakes.
You only need to be confident that you are going to bounce back higher.
You are the greatest.
You are unique.
Be yourself.
That is the one most important thing that you need to do now.

Stop your procrastination. Start being spontaneous.

 

Being spontaneous is being able to respond with confidence; calmly trusting that, whatever the outcome, you will have a positive if challenging experience that will lead to greater self-awareness and success.
