#84 - Slowing Down

29.01.2011

Heard that there is a new horoscope sign, making a total of 13 horoscope signs. But if u refer to daily horoscopes, the new sign is not yet incorporated into the 12 horoscope readings. I am a Capricorn but if they really wanna consider 13 horoscopes, then I will be a Sagitarius. I don’t want! I want Capricorn! Now back to the horoscope part. I came across this reading today:

“The pace of your life is a lot faster than you may realize right now. Slow it down!”

True enough. I was just discussing something similar with WL this morning. Before this my motto was “Life is short so it shouldn’t be lived with regret” in order to remind me to do what I feel like doing so that I won’t have any regrets later on. Now I would like to amend it as such: “Although life is short, it should be treaded and paced carefully so that u won’t wear urself out”.

I am feeling tired recently. Not physically but mentally and spiritually. Which left me pondering. My pace is too fast. I should slow down. It had been awhile I hadn’t really spend some quality time with my family. I think I talk to WY more than to my family. So I will try to be a ‘zai nv’, will only choose to join selected outings (if sports, definitely will go, can’t help it!) and will learn to say ‘No’ for certain outings.

That way, I can reduce my outings, stay more at home, spend more quality time with mom, niece and nephew (should help him with his education already), spend more time on technical reading and see if I can do more wonders for my job. Like what CLP always tell me, just do what ever I want as long as I feel happy. I think I will for the moment with this choice. Really played too much. Must work hard to balance the ‘play hard’ part.

I do hope I can do this. Or else I know that I can’t self-satisfy myself and will keep on blaming myself. Still doubting whether I can be ‘zai nv’ since I have so many places in my “To-Visit” list. Nevertheless, where there is a will, there is a way! I can do it!
