Losing The Reference Point

As you grow your body starts to become weak and your brainwill shut down too – but for a certain period of time, you will grow mentallyfaster and at an exponential rate while your body is becoming weak daily.

As such you prioritize to focus on the task which requiresyour mental energy and you limit your physical activity. And then you fallsick, go to doctor and find out that you have more restrictions than before.

Each day your bio-vehicle is degrading and there seems nothingyou can do about it. But let us turn the dial back a little and you will findthat it was you who decided that now you are weak. Your body did showed signsof weakness but it is you who let that take more importance.

The ideal body is one where you can walk for 5 kilometerseach day and do all your chores. If you find yourself in pain then eat right,do yoga, exercise, stretching and 10 different things.

Last thing you need to do is accept the weakness and donothing about it. Your mind can work efficiently and you can enjoy the benefitsas long as you can move. A healthy body is of prime importance. Don’t let ittake the backseat.

If you think that when you are old it is time to relax,think again because now is the time to move more than ever before. Because yourbuilding blocks are falling and you need to keep it in good shape to move aheadwith fun and enjoyment.

Work And Exercise          

The amount of work you do and how it impacts your life isimportant to know and distinguish. Sometimes you might not be rewardedinstantly for your work or it won’t be reflected in your annual review.

But if your aim is to grow as a person then you will berewarded when you switch the jobs. And it will reflect well on your lifebecause you did the work to improve even when it seemed waste. So you have toknow the reference point and do the work accordingly.

For example, if your reference point would have be currentpaycheck and working any harder won’t make a difference. But once you know thatit will benefit you in future – thus changing your reference point, you cantake the decision that way. No one way is good or bad, in either case you needto know your reference point.

The same goes for the exercise – if you want to impresspeople in 1 month then you have to take the needle which I believe isn’t thewisest way to go.

On the other hand, if you aim to have strength and fit bodythen maybe you shouldn’t be worried what people say about you now.

Changing the reference point, knowing about it and beingcrystal clear helps in doing the work now which matters to you.

A Task

Let me give you a task – find something in your life whereyou can tweak the reference and boom you can come up with many differentvariations to help, guide and level up your performance. For example, if youare playing sport then looking it as a hobby instead of a competitive sport canbring in more happiness.

Seeing the girl you are dating as a potential partnerinstead of a soul mate will reduce the pressure. Because now you know it is apotential and not the only one.

Same goes in following your passion – if you are worriedabout the money you make. Try to get a day job for money and see your passionas a side project for a different impact. Maybe your work will touch lives of 5people. Now it ain’t bringing in money but it doesn’t matter because you arelooking at it with a different reference.

It’s like a game and you can win the game or change thereference – whatever you do – I want you to know the reference, tweak If necessaryand give in your best.
