Survival tricks & organizing my life

I have been avoiding this since forever. But I have to face all my fears, keep a level head and come out victorious out of this. My strength is that I always believe in myself that I can win, given that I do what it takes and I also believe that there is nothing that i cannot do. I believe I can do it all.

But I have been fooling myself to believe that I cannot do a few certain things, the reason being that I didn't like doing these things myself nor appreciated others that are doing it. I defined it as being selfish// mean// conspiring etc. Well, Life is not a bed of roses, this line has many levels of meaning. All kinds of people exist in this world, mostly a mixture of good and bad. And you cannot take only the good side of people without acknowledging the bad side and you will often have to deal with it. You are not an angel either. You have bad sides also. It is inevitable that you will have to face all sides of a person at certain point in time. So, don't be shocked when that happens. Accept this thing as part of life. You don't have to be mean, but you have to know how to play the game too. Otherwise you;ll be pushed around and thrown out. As simple as that.

You will also have to learn how to deal with it when that happens. Part of your training of surviving.
You dread this, i.e. communicating. You have to talk to people about anything. You are thinking talking to someone about staff could be better used at getting things done. Well, let's think of it this way, do a little bit of work with full concentration, take a break, walk over to another person who is in the same project/ team and ask
* what he is doing?
* chit chat about weather, news etc
* what can be done about the project
* What you are doing and ask his opinion.

Go back to your work, maybe keep a note of interesting ideas that came up during the conversation. go back to work as in
1. decide what you wanna get done in a next reasonable slot of time and focus on it.

again take a break and repeat.

Follow this like a ritual. Like how god defined the sequence of praying, exactly like that follow your work ritual.

Now you think taking a break means going online to check your facebook. Eh! your true friends are not gonna leave you if you dont. Also! try calling them?

Train yourself to communicate to people. Talk to people. Think before you speak, how your words are going to affect that person. Practice, so you can do the thinking faster. Don't just say whatever is in your mind. It is all part of training in living in your society and ignoring it is nothing to be proud of. It shows you are incompetent in a very important field of living. So, take pride in talking and communicating to people in a nice way. just how you are proud of your martial art of dance skills. Plus, you'll be able to show off this skill more often. :))

p.s.- You have become very lazy lately. and you are so easily distracted. Challenge yourself to take a task in hand and finish it in one go. Do not lose focus. Accomplishment, accomplishment, accomplishment.
