SQL Server World

There is so much we miss out in this world and in our life by just not being present in present. We equate not doing anything to wasting time. In reality it is quite the opposite. I have experienced it myself and the feeling is so freeing and exhilarating that you will regret why you have not experienced it before. I think the old saying “idle mind is a Devil’s workshop” has misled us.

We are in this world for a short period of time and yet 50% of our time we are thinking about something that is not present. Weather we are listening to enticing music or watching a favorite TV show or reading an interesting book, we will not add these adjectives if we are not focused on what we are doing. An enticing music becomes irritable if some nagging thought in your mind keep bothering you. A favorite TV Show becomes boring if you constantly think about what you have to do next. An interesting reading becomes a chore if you are feeling anxious and stressful.

Actually I love all these 3 activities that I have used as an example here. So I have no problem on focusing on these activities. But there are other areas such as work and social life where I want to learn to apply this thinking. The benefit would be more satisfied business interaction which in turn will result in doing it again and again. It is just like a happiness cycle, once you start it it will get the momentum of its own.
