How many of you believe in doing specific things on 1st January that will make things happen the way you want it to be - the rest of the year? I ask this question coz as I was leaving home from one of my client's (a popular star hotel) last evening, a junior member of the HR team asked me if I wasn't going to stay for the New years Party. I was quick with my response to say that I need to wake up early on the first day of the Year. He smiled and asked, "Do you actually believe in such sentiments?". I had to think before I answered that question.
I took a little test recently (a mail forward - so I dont know how authentic it is) according to which I use my right brain more often than the left. Apparently that means I go more by "beliefs, imagination and feelings" than "Knowing, facts and logic". Most people that are known to me either end up partying until 6AM or go for a Midnight Mass / get up early for a temple visit on 1st of January.But my reason for waking early was totally different. I was getting up to watch a movie in a theatre at 7AM - Can you believe it? Am I sentimental? Perhaps yes, coz I have done that with my sister and BIL for 3 consecutive years now. In my opinion people don't prefer a sentimental tag to their name for the simple reason of getting branded as Non-rationalistic. I aint any different folks and I thought I'd rather explain to him how it helps when people do specific things on such occasions. Its all about the mind - What experts call as Law of attraction. Let me explain:
My simple philosophy to life is happiness & delight. So, here's what I decide to do on the very 1st day of the year - Wake up early, after a quick breakfast head straight out for a movie that is a 3 hour laugh riot (Guaranteed by raving online reviews). To make it better it also carried a message - When everything goes crazy or out of control just tell your heart "AAL IZZ WELL". No spelling mistakes, thats how the guys say it and its damn funny. My mind is ready and trained to think positive from the very beginning - 2010, a Happy and fun filled year. Well, its the first step and its so easy right?. If a little sentiment can add value to your life's philosophy or achieving a goal, whats'wrong - Just do it and say "AAL IZZ WELL".
Delight yourself first to delight people around you. Most importantly, make your choice NOW!
