Acceptance

Just watched Cars 3 the Movie on Netflix. You know? I don't know about most people but I always believe that movies and some other tv content are there for a reason, for an opportunity to tell a story or a set of moral values or even just for the purpose of scaring people. Whatever the hidden meaning, any content that is put out there and broadcasted to the world are there for a reason, good or bad.

In this movie, I was taught a lesson on Acceptance. In the movie, one can see that our old hero,Lightning Mcqueen have became slower and that there is a new generation of car racers. Initially he was in denial, he couldn't accept that he will no longer be a racer and that he is losing. Somehow, he manage to meet up with a younger car who have dreams of being a racer and later realise that at the end of day, the spirit of racing lives on forever but his body cannot handle it and that it is time to pass on that spirit to the new generation. He accepted the fate and also accepted the truth. He did not stop being a racer, he still loves racing and through coaching, he is still able to be part of racing.

For me, I too hope to leave a part of myself in the next generation, be it my kids or the younger generation at my workplace. However, this is not my time to be a coach yet. I have only been through 6 years of working life although I have lived on this planet for 31 years. In such terms, I am probably still considered to be young and have plenty of energy left in the tank for me.

What I believe I have to accept is the following.

1. My body/health needs to be better maintained.
2. I am where I am because of the choices I made.
3. I am low on confidence.
4. I am not where I should be and I am not sure where too.
5. I always worry how others see me.
6. I am unable to concentrate for a period of time. Easily distracted.
7. I don't always finish what I started. 
8. I am not losing weight enough.
9. I am not patient enough with my Parents.
10. My decisions does not involve only myself anymore and have to include cat more.
11. In recent times, been absorbed in the sneakers/bags geek movement.
12. That I am 31 years of age.

It is very easy to list down the above but yet tough to go ahead and change the above. However it is not impossible. 

Had a heart to heart talk session with myself, I have decided I need to make certain lifestyle changes and also a character reboot. As for the career side, I think I should try out data analytics and see where that will bring me. Those in green I believe are crucial to me and will try to improve on them. 

Hopefully..no...I will start to change and believe once more in human adaptability and the fighting spirit of humans.
