The Simple Rule of Life; Run – Pause – Reflect – Move on!!!

Like a balloon, I was pierced out, totally torn and lost, holding on for too long, I didn't know when the game plan had change, believing I was at a leading pace, I refused to stop, take a break and recalculate than getting to the end realizing I ran for nothing. This is actually a common feature we face then we begin to wonder, is it bad to go into a venture wholeheartedly? Is it wrong to move without looking back? It is not actually wrong but most times when rushing to pick up stones, you just might miss the diamonds. A little pause, a little stop, a little observation could be all that is needed. Being at a leading pace is good but being so used to it, you just might miss when the game changes totally against you.

It is just four simple strides. Run – Pause – Reflect – Move on. You could take the plunge into whatever you want to do; you could go in head first or leg first but while taking the dive look carefully so you don't end up flat on your back. Like a game of car race if you keep moving without thinking you might end up entering the wrong tunnel. This goes a long way in defining who we are, "Is it a manager in a firm?", "Is it a movie director in a shoot?" or "Is it a musician about to perform?" What you really want people to see matters a whole lot. Always have the four simple strides at the back of your finger tips and remember it is Run- Pause_ Reflect_ Move on.

Run: moving at a pace to get to your goal, at a breathtaking speed and covering quite a distance to your goal or game.

Pause: Stopping for a while to relax your muscles; soothe yourself and be ever ready for a change.

Reflect: Taking deep breath and thinking about the journey so far, how successful it has been and what are the gains and where do you need to improve?

Move on: After all said have been done go for it with all prowess and get that crown. As a watchword 'change is the only constant thing'
