Take it Easy, Take it Slow

How many times do we just always stay focus and tell ourselves that, "hey, the dateline is up!", or, "hey, why are we still waiting?", etc. And many times bacause we forget to slow down, we overlooked the other stuffs (suppose to be beautiful stuffs) in life.

To certain aspects, i'm a perfectionist. I make sure i'll complete a task that worth compliments, i make sure everything are in place, i make sure the right stuffs go into the right drawers, i make sure the books are arranged accordingly, i make sure that all my letters drafted are perfect with no spelling mistakes, etc etc. I remember in school days, we are always asked to hand in drawings for art classes. Like drawings of an apple, the garden, a pencil, the pond, the sky, etc. And i'm always the last one to hand in my drawings! Reason being, i'm always expecting myself to draw the best. To make sure i've detailed all the details and such. Is either i do the best and hand in last / late, or i'll not hand in at all. (Note: this only applies during school days. Try to do this in the corporate industry and you'd be fired!)

Since young, i've been taught by my parents that whatever i decided to do, i do it wholeheartedly and do it with grace. I musn't use the short-cuts, i musn't give up half way, i must be persistent and consistent, i must have determination, i must be diligent, the list goes on. At present, i always wanna do and give the best.

Sometimes, i pre-plan things and expect it to turn out the way i want it to be. I want things to be right in the shortest time possible. I want to be the one controlling over time and not the other way round. That's why sometimes, i just don't understand the phase, "time will tell". Tell what???!!! We're the ones who are suppose to tell. But i understand sometimes, because of me, i tend to give people unneccesary stress. And i've to admit, i'm one of my victim.

Lately, i've been rather moody. For the fact that i didn't have time to myself at all. Every single days for the past weeks, are filled with activities / appointments. And everytime i thought i got an evening free to myself, i dozed off shortly after i shower and the next moment i open my eyes again, it's time to prepare for work.

One thing i learnt recently, is to slow down. Row the boat slowly and enjoy the breeze. Walk a little slower to see the moving traffic. Take it easy, for i've my whole lifetime to work things out. I don't know how true is this? But this time, i'm really gonna slow down and take things easy...
