Is this another year in your Personal Story? Should this year make a
difference to you if not to others. Are things going to get better?
Interesting questions, I always wondered why some
projects I started did not work. I realized there were numerous reasons
for them.
All of us share this one experience, A new year brings that moment of New
hopes and a feeling that this year must be different or simply that thought 'I will commit myself to make this year fruitful'.
We plan, we work on our plans and then comes that painful
barrier or that great hurdle comes our way. It could be a difficult
situation like a temptation, or a thought to slack on your commitments or
may be even the realization that you were simply pepped up.
What happens next also depends on you and not your reason to quit. Don't
get me wrong, Quitting is not bad (in some situations).
Could it be your Temperament?
My temperament in my view had an influence on my perception of problems
In my college days while volunteering at a Cultural meetup for Youth, I
learnt about temperaments.
It was something I learnt about myself that helped me improve my life
situation.
I realized that my decisions and perspective were also
influenced by my temperament and how I succeeded or failed in
the past and in how I dealt with similar problems.
Learn more about Temperaments, Check this wiki on Temperaments.
My temperament in my view had an influence on my perception of
problems.
My question is 'Does your temperament influence you?' and 'Does your
perception about things need an update?'
I am not for uncritical positivity. But sometimes we don't encourage
ourselves enough. And sometimes we also don't believe we can achieve things.
Sources of Encouragement

| Check this quote on dealing with Uncertainty |
I believe we can encourage ourselves, if we can understand our
Temperaments and ourselves better.
We can see the limitations of our own experiences and
perceptions.
Just because you failed a couple of times, it doesn't necessary follow that it
would repeat again.
Sometimes we are not clear about things and what we want to achieve and why.
Let me share with you a situation I faced that will help me explain myself more clearly.
It was joining my local gym taught me this. I wanted to shape up, but speaking to
a Personal Coach made me realize the importance of having
clear goals.
I wasn't clear if I wanted to be more muscular or just shed the weight or both. Each of these required a different level of commitment.
So do you want to loose weight or may be a promotion or may be something else. Have you thought through the
reasons behind why you would like to achieve these goals.
Are you specific about the details? Okay, May be the goal is a bit
Audacious, But have you chunked it down into manageable bits.
Clarity on some of these points can be a source of great encouragement. Being
clear and concise, Planning and making things manageable for you is truly
valuable.
Patience and virtues
Lol, There are stories from my life I would love to share that are truly
embarrassing and have taught me the importance of this great virtue called
'Patience'.
I will not share the story as of now as it is very personal and funny. May
be when I start a Podcast or something I will surely share it. (Been toying with the idea...Do comment if you think it is a good idea)
Anyways, May be it's not about our temperament or bad situations, It
could be that it is a matter of lack of this virtue 'Patience'.
Some projects take time to bear fruit. Imagine trying to shed all you extra
pounds in a month. May be possible for some, But it is very unrealistic for
many of us.
Proper Planning coupled with a lot of patience is what we need. We
need to motivate ourselves and care for ourselves properly.
Getting out of our comfort zone is important, But sustaining ourselves
through with some healthy self encouragement, planning and a bit of preparation for New
situations is equally important.
Imagine trying to shed all you extra pounds in a month. May be possible for some, But it is very unrealistic for many of us
Concluding Thoughts
I must repeat this cliché, "Rome was not built in a day". Be a source of
encouragement to yourself and others. Get out of your comfort zone by motivating yourself.
We as humans have been masterful creators. We have changed our
reality over the ages. You can do it too!
One step at a time with the right effort and patience. I will end this blog
with an Affirmation you can repeat to yourself, "I can & I will". God
Bless, Ciao!
