Over the last few years I have spent a lot of time architecting myself to be a self improving being. I care deeply about this. Given any situation, I like to come out with a sense that I have learnt and would do better the next time I am in that situation. Or simply put, every passing day, I want to push my limits in every area of life.
This begins by constant self evaluation of my actions. It often involves questions like – was there a better way to do this? Did I meet my commitments for the day? Did I make a positive impact to the space around me? My ‘alacrous soliloquy’ tag, today partly comes from such discussions in my head.
The side-affect? I would get upset over small issues and welcome seriously large problems as new opportunity to learn, to test myself.
What I do hope for, is to strike a balance. To know when not to care about what went right or wrong, to accept facts I cannot change and to limit the harshness emitting from this learning process.
….and to remember to live, not just perfect the life you’ve been given. You’re pretty darn great as you are. Read my upcoming post on The Idea-smithy. It is relevant to this thought.
