Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
Wayne Dyer
We have two choices. Either we can choose an action or a consequence. But once the choice of one is made the result of the same cannot be changed, for every action there is a consequence. We may like an action, but the most important question is, will we like the result or consequence of the action?
For example, we have a choice to neglect our health and eat and drink what should not be eaten and drunk. We may like the pleasure of overeating. But once this choice is made, the consequence is automatic. We cannot avoid it. We may choose not to spend time on our reading portfolio and spend our time watching a non value adding television show. But we should be prepared for the consequence also.
To put it in another way, if we choose action `A', we should be ready to face consequence `X'. However, if we want consequence `Y', then the appropriate action is `B'!
Over this week end why do a cause-effect analysis? List what you have achieved, good and bad and list all those things you did to cause this effect. If this is not the quality of life you would like to have had, ponder how you want to redraft your life script for the future?
