So much to do…. so little time

Life provides considerable challenges, and these challenges are what keep us going… be it from big decisions down to small problems… Challenge is the spice in life.

Challenges generally come along with a steep learning curve. Especially when a decision has to be taken fast, time is the limiting factor. This would require that all correct information is collected as fast as possible so that the necessary decisions are taken with enough time for thinking…
Good decision taking is an acquired skill which ripens and matures throughout life. I can easily compare it with a fruit (currently a fig fruit is coming to mind)... If you ever tried to pick a fig from the tree too early the taste is terribly sour…so picking the fruit in the wrong moment will give a bad outcome. However as it ripens and knowing when to pick gives a heavenly taste. That’s the same as taking a good decision.
Moreover, deciding not to take a decision is a decision in itself. (You have decided not to decide! quite paradoxical!) … Postponing a decision (not procrastinating!) is different though … That’s a skill too… It’s realising that the time is not right yet …Though in that case one has to keep an open eye for all events and just grasp the right moment…

And then, with all these decisions to take, comes another hurdle…getting tired… A good sleep is crucial…Too much thinking makes you tired…yet hyper at the same time!... I found out that a good long speed walk in the countryside or besides the sea helps a lot…Well any good physical exercise is good especially in good company...hehe ;-). Ideally mind and body should work in tandem… If mind is tired then body should be to be tired too…if body is fresh…mind should also be. Nothing works out well otherwise!

Anyway, I decided to stop here for today.

Wish you all another great weekend.
