When You're Thrown a CURVEBALL

When You're Thrown a CURVEBALL

Curveballs in life, that we experience over and over again infinitely.  These are the unexpected things that just pop-up, sometimes throwing a monkey wrench on your situation that very moment.  It could be surprises that could be positive and pleasant as it may present opportunities for you but unless you handle it well enough, you won't get to be aware that there was indeed an 'opportunity' in that curveball.  There are just one too many curveballs in our lives.  Imagine you were so pumped-up for that long-drive only to find that there is a kilometric-long jam just at the entry point to the highway.  How will you handle that ?  Will you do a U-turn?

Getting into curveball situations is very tricky.  It's not just the rightness of your countermeasure that very moment but what's equally a priority is your quickness to make swift and sound decisions.  A right decision made one or two minutes late could go wrong because it was late for a minute or two.  Two Sundays ago, we woke up early for an early market schedule but  towards the market, there was a long traffic snarl that early morning.  

Pronto, we made a U-turn and went to another market instead, much smaller with fewer options and prices slightly higher.  But the fact we're off early morning to market on a Sunday meant that we valued time more than anything so that quick reflex  for the U-turn necessitated figuring out the difference between the prices and the price point.

Surely in your lives you were thrown with curveballs but you were just too oblivious and less discerning.  Imagine this scripted dialogue with LIFE that finally you felt happy.  BUT don't speak prematurely because LIFE will tell you 'LOL, wait a sec', and i'll spring another surprise for you.  That's when things begin to whirl and twirl all over again.  But curveballs are not something we need to be averse because a lot of those 'curveball' situations will sublimely come knocking with a window of opportunity slightly opening for you to grab.

Sorry folks, this is NOT Flowcharting 101 but simply sharing with you the ideal way for us to validate your decision-making process.  BTW, some decisions require a thorough and incisive approach because sometimes, things can never be more complex than what you have at hand.  And if NEGATIVITY prevails over you [with that 2-horned creature whispering through your ears] because you thought we're making a mountain out of a molehill with this flowcharting, no sirs, this is as basic as ABC and 123.

And as this poster goes, 'THROW ME TO THE WOLVES AND I'LL RETURN LEADING THE PACK'.  Well said.  Just too picture-perfect but this is the way to go, remain positive, get motivated, continue to be self-driven, never waiver, never wither and remain consistently FOCUSED with what your goal and keep a close tab with your game plan so you don't get waylaid when you hit the crossroads from time to time.  And what better way to self-motivate you than aiming to be at the top of the totem pole, spearheading your group with your trailblazing efforts every step of the way.  Any disrupted focus, any reduced effort will result you to falling short of leading the pack, a position that will offer you multifarious opportunities because you'll catch the prey ahead.

Going back to our school academics for a minute, can we revisit this equation:  WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS EQUALS TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WANT TO BE.  Where's the pitfall here ?  If you dunno WHO YOU WANT TO BE then that is a sorry state of affairs because it's only you can decide on that.  PROXY DECISIONS are untenable in life because it's you and not any one else will live your life except YOU.📌📌📌
