Overshooting and Realignment

Sometimes we overshoot. We actually have a tendency to overshoot, or our environment forces us to overshoot.

For example, when you want to buy a lunch to fill your hungry stomach, the restaurants, fast foot shop or whatever will usually offer more than you wanted, but since you have no choice, you will end up buying more than you needed, eating more than you wanted. The side effect is not just about spending more, but you actually waste something, or you ended up with more fat inside your body. All these could be harmful in the long run.

We all want a balanced life. But when you go to work, you will be pushed to spend more time in your work than you might want. Yes, that could bring you more money but that could eventually squeezed all your schedule and you ended up with no time to spend.

When all these become excessive, it's time to realign ourselves. To find out what we really wanted, to make sure that we're doing what we wanted. It's not something that we could never change, but instead, awareness is the key.

Overshooting means that, we are working for others. We are trying to fulfill the goal of other people, more than for ourselves.

So, act now, do realign your life and your priority. Define your goal and act accordingly, the choice is really here, and the decision is yours.
