My previous blog post is about Winner never quit and Quitter never win. So today I received a tweet regarding it:

tomrojas: @olinaqian Sometimes the only way to win is to quit…

I know exactly what he talked about. So I replied:

@tomrojas Life is about choice. How to allocate your limited time and resource to do things you passionate about is a big choice.

What I really want to say is: Win or lose, it actually doesn’t matter. Since it’s all depend on how you view it from different perspective. So I replied him again:

@tomrojas So it doesn’t matter if we win or not. The most important thing is: Every morning after you wake up, you ask yourself: Is this the life you want? The answer should be ‘Yes’!

I got this thought from a friend. I have not seen her for a while. Today when I saw her again, she looks so stressed. She seems unhappy about her life, but don’t know what to do. That’s exactly what I feel one year ago. So I tried to give her some advice, help her do a breakthrough. But she has so many concerns. I don’t know how to help her.

So on my way home, I remembered people ever told me once: Sometimes people are doing the exactly same thing every day, but they are expecting the different result.

Yes, do you ever have the experience that you met someone, they complain about the same thing every time you meet? So you try to give them advice, they won’t listen. Then next time you meet them again, they are complaining to you for the same thing again.

I guess it is truly about choice. You can choose to be happy; you can choose to be sad too. You become the way you live right now is all about choice you made yesterday.

If you are not happy about life, make some changes, do something different. For example, find something you passionate about or do something you like. If you don’t like to change, then you can’t complain either. Since that’s your choice. You choose to live like this. Then you need to like the choice you made.

In another way, you can either: Do things you like or like the things you do.

So today, when you read my blog post, I hope you can ask yourself a question:

Am I happy about everything I am doing right now? If the answer is yes, I will say: Congratulation! Since the luckiest person in the world is doing something he is passionate about.

If the answer is no, I suggest you do some changes, you can start from small things. Little by little, you will see the difference; it will impact your life.

Mark Twain ever said: If you need to eat a frog, eat it first in the morning. If you need to eat multiple frogs, eat the biggest one first. So if you need to take action, I guess the best time is: NOW
