How big is your red zone?

Every activity worth doing has a learning curve. Riding a bike, learning to read, using Facebook... the early days are rarely nothing but fun.

Take a look at this three part chart. The first shows how much joy someone gets out of an activity. Over time, as we discover new things and get better at it, our satisfaction increases. At some point, there's a bump when we get quite good at it, and then, in most activities, it fades because we get bored. (In the top graph I've also added the Dip, showing the extra joy from being an expert, but that's irrelevant to this discussion).

The second graph shows the hassle of that same activity. Riding a bike, for example, is horrible at first. Skinned knees, bruised egos. Twitter is really easy to use the first few times, so not so much red ink there.

The third graph is just the two overlaid. That zone on the left, the red zone, is the gap between the initial hassle and the initial joy. My contention is that the only reason we ever get through that gap is that someone on the other side (the little green circle) is rooting us on, or telling us stories of how great it is on the other side.

The bigger your red zone, the louder your green dot needs to be. Every successful product or passion is either easy to get started on or comes with a built-in motivator to keep you moving until you're in. This is so easy to overlook, because of course you're already in...

Oh what a Hopeless Life it has been...!!!

This is exactly what any engineer would say warming his chair in a building totally devastating the environment by producing ozone pro gases and not to mention , the same air that we breathe in and out for around 8 hours in our cubicle, just to make sure that we are not living healthy for few bucks that we earn.

Let alone other factors and emotions, This one statement proves, once stated by any individual, means that we are not doing justice to our life and that we ought to seek more life outside.

We have chosen this mode and living and evidently this has been a disastrous journey ever since.



Its better Late, than Never. Yes, it is absolutely better to be late than to have never ended up doing anything.

I always wondered, what if we didn't have to travel to work, What if we didn't have to work and still make some money (interesting isn't it!!!).

All these thoughts not just provide an insight into one's mind, but they also show just how vulnerable we all are, when it comes to daily chores of life.

Now,

If you have just read the article above, it has no beginning and no end and that exactly how life is everyday. Unless we start planning our everyday life, we will be in a continous loop and it is never going to end.

So Everyday, make sure you say this Statement, which will in turn help you realize that you are not alone, and start kicking the daily chores of your life with full energy and enthusiasm.
