Finally I’m back to work…with some feeling of detachment sort of…I think I had too long of vacation...too much of something can make you sick...not that I'm excited getting back to work...just glad the previous week is over...it was not the most exiting time spent and although I am lazy naturally, I do understand that I have to get out and get into some sort of routine if only for the sake of getting out of the four walls...and before I’ll plunge into clearing out all e-mails caught into my inbox in my absence I thought, I’d take a moment to reflect…I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to slip into the mood which you’re comfortable with and how difficult to stay focused on the purpose you set up for yourself before you slide…I had good intentions and noble purpose…It all made me feel proud of myself for being so above the selfishness…yet the mood caught me unaware and I found myself shamelessly enjoying it putting aside all the good intentions…I’ll do it later…no big deal…perhaps, it can wait…I’m too enjoying myself right now…so weak we are at times…so self-centered…of course now, once it's over, I feel slightly embarrassed for giving into the temptation…duh…
I found strange coincidence that today the daily motivating thoughts I’m getting into my mailbox have brought up something I’ve been pondering myself for the last few days…a weird sort of synergy in practice…not that I’m a believer, mind you…wandering through the Daily Strength site I came across an advice from someone how to “learn yourself” to feel good at any circumstances. They said: fake it till you make it…in some way it seems like a good thing, very practical…if I’ll pretend I’m happy, eventually it will become my “second skin”…and who is to know for sure how many of us look happy AND feel happy actually?...practice makes it perfect they say…I played with the idea and found it funny when imagined myself in some years time, leaving life with a smile ingrown into my face…funny and eerie…like a Joker in a Batman’s land…the Motivator said to me today:
The actions, thoughts and words that become a permanent part of you are the ones you choose to repeat over and over again…
