Paradigm..

The past two days has been great as I was spending time learning how to download songs online. I have managed to download many new songs that I like. I burn it into a CD so that my mornings driving to work can be more interesting. I have always feel that music plays a very important role in my life. Times when I want to work towards my goals, I listen to songs which make me feel like a movie star that's gonna rock the world. Times when I feel like I am just working like a robot, I will listen to some slower songs which let me think of things I can do to help others who are less fortunate than me. Well... music has been quite a role in my life.

I am very blessed as my career gave me the choice to choose when I can go to my office. I have to wake up every morning and make sure I get my son to school by 8am. I usually will just go somewhere nearby to have breakfast and take my time so that when I drive up to town, which is half an hour away from my house, to avoid all the jams and rushing with people who are working at regular office hours. Traffic jams are normally gone after 9.30am.

I used to hate driving up to town at 8am as cars are moving so slow and it seems like taking longer time to reach my office. I used to whine, complain and.... erm... sometimes curse crazy drivers who cut queues (nto thinking that I sometimes do that too).

Well... for the past one month, I have been appreciating the jams. I have a new thing that I did when my car stopped at red lights. I have my make up pouch and have been doing my make ups in my car. I know this is weird and I should have just get my make up on at home but... it has given me a new paradigm. I have been more patient with traffics and today, having new nice songs in my car, I have been enjoying my drive to work. I realized that the situation is still the same every morning but yet, my moods and feeling towards the drive to work is already different.

I learnt something from this though. There are lots of situations in life eg.. work, career, politics, family disagreements... you name it... lots of situations each and every one of us have to go through. Last year was a challenging year for me as my office was filled with politics which has drained me but when I start looking at things from another perspective just like the drive towards office in the mornings, things changed. I realized things change when our paradigm shift. I recall my success from many many years back that it was feeling good about myself and goals and dreams which help me where I am today. Every time when things are not going the way it is suppose to be and it is not within my control... just shift my paradigm. It has helped so much in my past and it is working for me this year and I want to remember this for the rest of my life that I can be happy and achieve what I want in life especially when things are not going the way I want it.
Just shift my PARADIGM......
