Simplehan da nato gud! Why
complicate life when we can play it well with simple things? If we complicate
it, will it warrant an outcome which we can equate to happiness? There are
instances when we gauge life as satisfying if we immerse ourselves with tasks
for the sake of being busy. Not realizing that these are just mere outputs, not
outcomes.
Jones
(2014) mentioned that it can be the difference between mediocrity and the
creation of lasting and sustainable change. Mediocre organizations and
individuals are stuck on making decisions based on outputs. Great organizations
and persons are managing to outcomes.
In the
work area, there are those who complain about being busy to the point of
immersing themselves to performing tasks which might not be conceptualized well
by the managers for better outcomes. There are those who design and assign
stuff which lack creativity and too technical to be understood by the people in
the organization and they impose on the intended outputs to keep the people
busy. Not realizing that such activities can be considered as exercises in
futility.
Same
with the things we do with our lives.
Outputs
can be considered as the quantitative things we do and attain. These will
oftentimes lead to qualitative results. Those things we feel and perceive that
enhance our lives. Of course, we do not have the same orientation on what
things do we need and do to produce good emotions and experiences, yet we are
gifted with the mind to discern.
Choice
is our ability to make decisions when presented with two or more options. The
psychology of choice explores why we subconsciously make the decisions we do,
what motivates those decisions, and what needs these decisions are meant to
satisfy.
Let us
then choose things which will eventually become treasures in our lives. The activities
and events that need to be faced must be aligned to what we want without
sacrificing the greater good.
We
need NOT look at our lives with what we do…but what do these things do to us.
