Fit Like A Glove

Fit Like A Glove

These days, things you need can happen on-the-fly and things you want can be snapped off straight off-the-shelf.  But we all want to end up with the best, perfect one.  This is analogous to young ones hoping to find his/her dream partner in life.  The trick here is that your dream partner can't be found off-the-shelf.  In fact, the likelihood is you may end up finding your partner who ends up to be as imperfect as you are [or even worse than what you are].  But's NOT our thread today.  What we want to harp is that everyone of us can still aim to be one who may Fit Like A Glove💊💊💊

Back in our school days, you could be an officer of the students council OR get invited to parties but sometimes, you could feel that you just DON'T fit in, that you're different from those other people and that those people DON'T really get you, let alone ACCEPT you for WHO you really are.  Perhaps you feel that either you're too quiet OR too talkative.  OR too serious OR too much of a funster.  OR your face OR body isn't traditionally attractive❓❓❓ 

Indeed, it is tough to deal with feeling you DON'T really fit in.  And unfortunately, there are NO easy answers but maybe let's figure things out.  Like when you worry too much about what others think of you.  Is it time to stop caring so much about what others think and start caring more about your 'SELF-APPRAISAL'?  If you look at yourself dispassionately, should you feel pretty good about the overall person you are?  If you have flaws you want to remediate, that's just fine but all of us have characteristics that are relatively immutable.  We're like a rose bush.  We'll always have thorns but they DON'T render our flowers worthless💎💎💎

While that rose bush metaphor is valid, it may NOT actually make you more 'self-accepting'.  So, play shrink with yourself.  WHY do you accept other people despite their failings BUT refuse to accept yourself?  Could it be that a spouse/partner, teacher, work colleague or someone in your family of origin devastated you and their words continue to ring in your ears?  Could be.  OR perhaps you made a serious mistake or three that you feel you deserve self-loathing.  OR is it time for us to change?📌📌📌

C'mon, IS IT TIME TO CHANGE?  Perhaps, you're NOT fitting in is worth fixing?  Is it time to work on that, perhaps in baby-steps?  If you've been so aggressive that the costs have outweighed the benefits, is it time to focus on dialing it back until your modulated self becomes automatic?  If you've been lazy, is it time to commit to working MORE and procrastinating LESS?  Yesirrrrs, we all can still FIT LIKE A GLOVE [but you got to lift your fingers to take this initiative]✅✅✅

Fit Like a Glove

Fit Like a Glove

Like it or not, in life we gotta 'Fit Like a Glove'.  And this is non-negotiable.  Whether you're talking of growing-up kids, students, workers, entrepreneurs or even partners in life, if you ain't 'Fit Like a Glove', anytime now someone might yell at you 'GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN', whew.

When you transferred to a new school and you hear your teachers telling you that YOU 'Fit Like a Glove', that says a lot.  When you move house into a new community and you hear your new neighbors declare that YOU 'Fit Like a Glove'. that's no less a compliment.  When you migrate to a new country and everyone tells you that YOU 'Fit Like a Glove', it reaffirms that YOU have successfully hurdled the transition in your life well enough.  When you change jobs and you hear them declare that YOU 'Fit Like a Glove', it says you're 'OVER THE [first] HUMP'.  When you commit yourself to your long-term/lifetime partner and you hear your family and friends declare that each of YOU 'Fit Like a Glove', you're in it for it.

Have we heard of someone transferring to a new school and facing difficulties adjusting into the new environ ?  Have we heard a worker moving to a new job and seemingly 'climbing a steep' slope because of the culture and environ in that new company ?  Have we heard of an entrepreneur struggling with his startup business because it is his very first time to get into that foray ?  How about relationships ?  How many have we heard of failed relationships because either of the two partners just can't 'FIT LIKE A GLOVE' in that relationship ?

And let's not claim that there is a dearth of gloves out there because there is NO ONE SIZE THAT FITS ALL.  You got choices, a lot of them.  Before you transfer to a new school, before you move-in to a new community, before you migrate to another country, before you move to your next job, before you embark on a new business and before you commit [AGAIN] to [ANOTHER] relationship, let us admit that we have ONE TOO MANY CHOICES.

Don't we dream of HAPPY ENDINGS ?  Being in the best school possible, bagging the best job role ever, migrating to a country that was #1 on your life, getting into a long-term/lifetime relationship that should last till your last breath, it means you did everything you can for you to 'FIT LIKE A GLOVE' but to get into that, you need to go through the wringer, with tons of SACRIFICES, painstaking ADJUSTMENTs, stretched ADAPTABILITY and reasonable ACCEPTANCE of whatever circumstances you are in.  Remember, YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE NOW because of your actions [OR inaction, because of your planning [OR mis-planning].  Worth thinking about folks✅✅✅
