The Power That We ALL Have — Substitution
There is one power that we all have in our hands. We can choose to use you, but more often than not, we never realise it’s power and how useful it can actually be!
I was just reminded of how we are spending our days minute after minutes, hour after hours just with one activity after another. Yes, it can definitely be a good way to keep us away from distractions and at the same time might also keep us driven and motivated, with the feeling of ‘productive’. However, not many of us are enjoying what we are doing. Whether it is reporting to work in town at 0800hrs or opening our screens and start answering emails. We might be going down the hole of doing something we do not intend to, just because we told ourselves that we do not have a ‘choice’…
Similarly, sometime we hold back onto something so tightly just because we couldn’t learn that one skill of letting go, whether it is someone that we had spend our time with, a habit that we aren’t proud of or the work that we hate. We never find it easy to let go as compared to picking them up in the first place.It seems like a dream before things ended up where it is today, we say.
Then, it comes to a point when we realised that actually there is a choice, and we have that power, superpower to make a change, — That is the power of substitution!
