Yet, the programming is strong. I find myself struggling over a task and it ends up dragging itself out. Have you noticed that the things that you dislike doing are the ones that seem to take forever to get done? As for the opposite viewpoint, well as the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun!”

Learning to go against that old programming and trusting the “fun index” is an ongoing project. Every small step is, at the same time, a big leap. Each step will move you away from dissatisfaction with your life and closer to self-love, self-acceptance, self-esteem and joy in your everyday existence.

Anytime you ignore that inner prompting, you accumulate self-loathing and disappointment in your being. Your inner child once again feels letdown and unimportant. Each letdown reinforce the inner child’s belief that everybody else’s wishes are more important than its own. Once again its desires are relegated to the lowest priority on the list.

Yet, it’s your life! Why let someone else dictate how you “should” live it? Ask yourself what steps you want to take! Listen to the voice within which will tell you what would really make you feel fulfilled and satisfied. You are the boss of your life! After all, it’s yours, isn’t it?

我希望改變自己的人生計劃。我知道,做自己感興趣的事情,我會做得更好;相反,做自己憎惡的事,我會做得一塌糊塗。在壓力下工作通常會事倍功半。

我們可以改變生活中衡量某事是否該做的標準。我們需要捫心自問的,不應是“它是否會賺大錢或能否讓事業更上一層樓”,而是“我對這些感興趣嗎?這事有意思嗎?我要大幹一番嗎?”
