Good Morning,
Have you ever noticed that when you are looking forward to an event that it cannot come soon enough, and time flies by as you experience it? Conversely, when you are not looking forward to an event, that is comes by and drags along as you experience it?
Time flies when you are having fun. You have all heard this. And when you are not having fun, time drags, you hear lines like ‘are we there yet, is it over yet, do we have to stay, etc.’ Everything seems a bit darker while we are enduring. And for some of us, when we are like this, the WHOLE world knows it too. “If Momma is unhappy, then no one is happy.” – Some wise person.
Our attitude and approach to something then determines how that event will come off. If we are reluctant, the event will most likely not be exciting and entertaining or even educational.
As stated in other posts, we have the ability to change our attitudes (Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Frankl). We may not be able to change the facts in life that are facing us, but we can change how we face them. Sometimes this makes all the difference in the world.
Whenever I have to do something that I am not thrilled about doing, I try to make it a game. How fast and efficiently can I perform this task? I then make an unpleasant task more palatable. I may still not like the what has to be done, but it seldom drags and brings me down when I remember to make it a game.
The first step to success is: wanting to do what needs to be done. If you cannot make yourself want it, then make it a game and make it enjoyable, it is amazing the difference you will experience.
Enjoy!
