That's the issue.
I also notice that lately I had quite a few visits down to memory lane. Nostalgia moments in high schools and during the college days. Of course, some of them can bring smile to this tired and wasted look but some can also bring down one's motivation and conviction.
Anyhow, I vow to myself to be better in every aspect in my life after this Ramadhan. Emotionally, economically and physically. Noticed how I placed these priorities? Yes, emotion is the most important aspect of all.
Emotion leads human beings into their path of either success or destruction. Positive emotion can consist of many good feelings add up together and melt together in becoming a productive state for that person. That's what I want to do. I know the emotional state is dictated from within, not from the external stimuli. And of course, the best person to control my own emotion is my own.
I read in many articles highlighted that success is more than 90% controlled by the ability to control emotion and having disciplined mind in pursuing one's personal agenda. Another 10% would be means to achieve that personal agenda. So clearly, having positive and supportive emotional state is one crucial pillar in achieving my version of success.
And I need to remind myself that the time for thinking is over now. It's all about ACTION NOW! I want to have this sense of urgency build up in me. I realize time is never enough for anyone. Let alone for myself. But I also realize that my time on this earth is severely short. How short it is, the guess is good as anyone's. But this realization has brought me some distinction over my past behavior and traits.
That I tend to procrastinate. By that, I mean A LOT!
Procrastination is a root of evil, some might say. And I concur with them. Procrastination steals time from me. What an absurd realization??!! Most successful people have very short time period between the awareness of an idea and its action-oriented follow ups. And for me, I had noticed that I have had plenty of time to joke around about my never ending ideas about anything and everything. I begin to realize that it's a joke. What a tragedy!
Anyway, I don't want to get too much dragged on this melodramatic realization. All I know, the time is NOW. The URGENCY is NOW. The good feeling about all I want to do next, in this next 5 years, is roaming my head and makes me dizzy. The quicker I take action, the faster I will get there!
Good emotion leads to better judgement. Better judgement leads to good decision. Good decision will bring more quality in my personal economy. And good emotions leads me to betterment of my physical being. Amen!
