In the stock market, the normal stock watcher cum player would keep a consistent tracker when it's a BEAR market as against a BULL market WHERE the latter is characterized by optimism among investors thereby pushing up the prices. This is NO rocket science BUT simply another manifestation of the LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND. BUT wait WHEN the stock prices NOT only take a dip BUT manifest nosediving because that's WHEN investors would jump into the fray. BUT hold on, our thread today is NOT STOCKS 101 [because I am no trader] BUT let's draw the parallelism in life WHEN sometimes we are egged to MOVE LIKE EVERYTHING's GONNA WORK OUT [that's regardless if it's a BEAR or BULL market]πππ
WHILE I am NO gym buff, I guess once you walk into a Fitness Gym, your adviser will counsel you to START it and STICK to it. Of course, making exercise as an enjoyable part of our everyday life may seem easier than we think. BUT up front, WHATEVER endeavor you will dive into [YES even in areas you are passionate enough], starting things off will offer you challenges up front. That's WHEN we'll hear MOVE LIKE EVERYTHING'S GONNA WORK OUTπππ
If you're having trouble to begin a new activity OR endeavor you're following through, you're NOT alone though. Let's admit it, many of us [and that includes me sometime in the past], we do struggle in getting out of that sedentary rut despite our best intentions. BUT if there's one huge miss most of us are guilty, it is figuring out as to WHY we're faced with those mounting challenges right at the start of a new endeavor we want to pursue. My 2-cents? I strongly feel that our biggest barrier up front is our mental piece, our mindset. Maybe it's a lack of self-confidence that keeps us from taking positive steps OR our motivation quickly flames out OR we simply easily feel discouraged and ending up to give up so soon even before you start off on a new endeavor. Sounds familar? Seriously, I've witnessed that kind of mindset zillions of times till now. And I commiserate with folks WHO are in that 'deep shit' [pardon my words]π§π§π§
SO HOW? That's the thing, WHEN we look up at things, if we continue to embrace that "ALL OR NOTHING' attitude, then, sadly, forever, we will be like the swinging pendulum, ending up either on the far left OR far right. Much as we are imperfect, we hate to fumble at the firing line, at the start. BUT hey, everyone of us WHO went through from pre-school up the academic ladder, many of us fumbled down up front. I remember WHEN I was out of job in Singapore after my previous company was bought lock, stock and barrel by U.S. giant Broadcom, I only had to 2 options, namely, to continue motivated OR simply give up. BUT I told myself, giving up was and will NEVER be an option. Fast-forward, I was the last man standing [even WHEN my chips went down]π₯π₯π₯Our takeaway: Go by your gut dude. IF it tells you 'GO', then 'GO'. If tons of things are causing you to chicken out up front, listen and follow your gut dude. BTW, this is NO fool-proof formula. You can still follow your GUT feel and still go wrong BUT if the stakes are right there, WON'T you bet on yourself rather than bet on your shadow lurking behind you? Yes, let's MOVE LIKE EVERYTHING'S GONNA WORK OUT dudeπ‘π‘π‘
