10 giugno If life were like a brand, spanking new video tape... ...in what way do you think you'd make time work in your favour? (Simply choose ONE of the following video modes. Include your reason(s) why you think this would be the best way to live your life.)
 A) PLAY: Who said taking the plunge wasn't easy? Thinking outside the box and working that spontaneity factor is what you're all about my friend. With an open mind and extroverted self, you waste no time in achieving exactly what you want and how you want the whole process to play itself out (whether it be establishing a new friendship with someone you just met or climbing your way to the Hall of Fame). Celebrating and embracing each moment without ever looking back is how you'd prefer to live your life. To you, analyzing your deepest regrets and perhaps your deepest, darkest secrets is just a HUGGGGE waste of time and therefore you NEVER bother. You'd rather put yourself out there while the challenge is still hottttt. In most circumstances, you let your actions speak louder than words. Even as a risktaker, letting good opportunities pass you by is one risk you're NOT willing to take. Instead, relying on your intuition in combination with tackling whatever situation comes your way proves more meaningful and rewarding to you in the end. Unfortunately this can have you not weighing the consequences of your actions as you're always on the GO, GO, GO!
B) FFWD: Patience just ain't your thing. Anxiousness is. What excites you is looking forward to what the future has to offer. Skipping to the good parts (moments of passion, laughter, smiles, celebration, play, etc.) or major stumbling blocks (moments of stress, deception, depression, tragedy, danger, etc.) puts your curiosity level in full throttle. In other words, you feel better knowing you have all the facts in front of you in order to be prepared for just about any future scenario you encounter. If you think you see a good thing coming, you dart for it, without really giving yourself the chance to look at the other factors involved. All you know about what little you did catch a glimpse of is that it looks promising. If a confrontation should arouse some uncalled for excitement, your first reaction will not result in you running away from it but facing it head-on now that you have the confidence in knowing what you're up against. You think that if you can somehow tap into your hidden, psychic intuition by foreseeing the future you will undoubtebly be able to work your life out to perfection or that nothing on this earth could possibly phase you. But realistically speaking, you can never predict what your decisions or certain circumstances will entail (especially when you ignore all the lil' details that count along the way). All you can be is HOPEFUL in that catching a glimpse of the future will enable you to choose the right path for a brighter tomorrow.
C) REWIND: A person who has an urge to rewind can only be one of two things: a dweller who finds it hard to distinguish between what was and what is, and a softee who remembers certain moments of the past with fond memories. As past experiences have taught us dwellers, obsessing over where we went wrong prevents us from moving forward. All we can do if we rewind is learn from the mistakes we've made to improve on who we will eventually become. As for us softees, we tend to look at those who have enriched our lives and the lives of people we've enriched. Beyond that, we also see how much we've expanded ourselves as individuals, what we have contributed to the world in which we live and how many of our small victories made many successes happen.
D) STOP: "Whoa...slow down," you say. "I need time to process what's really going on here!!!! My brain can only handle so much at once!! Before I do something stupid and that I'll probably regret, let me rationalize this through first. Let me come back to this later." What does this all translate to? You have killer instincts of course!! You have a natural gift to proceed with caution in order to make the right decision, even though temptations are running high. Relying on your powerful inner voice is your main strength. Your incredible focus and determination to listen to your intuition allows you to make many wise decisions.
E) PAUSE: Similiar to STOP mode, a person has the capability to use their killer instincts to prevent something devastating from occuring. The only difference is, instead of coming back to reevaluate the situation at hand, the person can freeze the action to see what's really right in front of them. In doing so, they are exposed to the much broader picture rather than blinded towards the underlying truths.
F) EJECT: If you want to put an end to someone mistreating you or drop a bad habit cold turkey, what better way to eliminate this negative aspect from your life than to eject it? Not only does it have you stand up for what you truly believe in, but in turn it has you gain more self-respect. Remember, addiction=weakness. A disgustttttting combo.
G) ERASE: Lastly, if you can't help but hate the turnout of the video (AKA as your life) and can't find any way to resolve your hurt, anger, frustration, etc., then just start with a clean slate. Try to leave the past in the past, and shift your attention to pressing forward with what's to be dealt with in the present and the future. It'll do you good to trade that negative frame of mind with an open heart and mind, in addition to a fresh perspective on life.
As for what I think?? Personally, although right now I'm probably living a cautionary tale (or choice D), I'd rather live for choice A because I think outgoing, carefree and risktaking is the person I see myself proud of. Living a little bit on the edge, as I have recently come to realize, is not the most healthy route. What is healthy is appreciating the moments that do count, acknowledging those that mean so much to us, living our ups to the fullest and accepting our downfalls without any complaints. That's how I'd like to be remembered in the eyes of those who know me.
Now it's your turn to tell me what legacy you'd like to leave behind by selecting one of the above choices. To recap on what these choices are, here they are in brief style: A) Serious risktaker B) Ahead of my game but too anxious to sit still C) Dweller or Softee who likes a blast from the past D) Winner of killer instincts and amazing ability to proceed with caution E) Someone who is not usually blinded and can see bigger picture F) Someone who is true to self and has the ability to stand up to what they believe in G) A clean slate and starting life from a fresh perspective is what this persons thrives on.
I'm looking forward to hearing your interesting responses!
Ahhh...if only life were like a brand, spanking new video tape, there's no doubt we'd choose all of the above to have time work in our favours. |
