I have always wondered what the right answer is when someone asks you “how are you?”… The question that’s so often asked by one and all…! Is it, “I am great” (of course I’m not telling you about the hundreds of pains, headaches or body aches, nor am I going to tell that I have not exercised in forever)? Or is it, “Everything’s fine (I hate my life, my job, my relations that aren’t working and my friends who never have the time).
Is it really a rhetorical question to have an auto-piloted answer or a question the answer of which really matters to them?
When someone asks me this now, I really don’t know the answer. Seriously!!!
I’m currently in a situation I call “Contentedly-Goal-less”. One continuous objective which I had had for the last three years was to become an Area Visual Merchandiser, which is now achieved (please refer to my last post :))… What this means is there is nothing that quite gives me the kick, no aim in life to achieve anything, kinda... well, content! Not an easy phase to be in, coz when you have always been “goal-driven” and suddenly become “goal-less” you don’t know what to next focus your attention on! I just know I don’t enjoy it too much…
It’s not like there is nothing in my life that I can make my “next-goal” but there really is nothing that I want badly enough. So I have decided to make a goal for myself- introduce a stage here which I’ll remember as “Operation Wellness”. What is Operation wellness huh? In my mind it is this stage in my life when I need to get things back to shape. My health, My career-interest, My relations, My perspective on life, My priorities; Aka what I want to do at the end of this long life?
Yes this is my new founded goal… Will update on how things are… As of now, I’m glad I have found a goal again!
