WTF - '!' or '?'

One thing I believe in with certainty, without any doubts, is that 'sh#t happens'. Happens everyday. It will happen even more if you are not bound by self tested assumptions; when you challenge yourself and do things beyond conformity. The more you wish to expand or as most would say attempt to come out of the rhetorical ‘comfort zone’, Sh#t Happens. If you still have doubts in this then read up on Murphy’s law because this write up is not to convince you that things will not always work as per ‘the’ plan.

Whilst what happens to us may be out of our influence, yet it is very much in our control; because how we respond is actually going to determine what happened. 

Everytime you respond to the likes of WTF, observe what happens to your body language. Assess your physiology, tonality & overall mood. With the aggression clouding your thinking and darkness suffocating your freedom to explore the light of the opportunity you will be left clueless on how to over power it. Many may argue it is also a question but the reality is that it is a ‘!' behaviour.

WTF ending with an exclamation mark (!) Is giving into a situation; acknowledging that it should not have happened and you are unpleasantly surprised with no clue of how to respond. Untracked and untuned, these behaviours will soon weave its way into your mood and methods. Whining will be a lullaby that will intoxicate your senses.

Replace your "What the F#ck'" reaction to a "Where To Focus?" response

This is a good start. Firstly it shows and forces you to develop a sense of self accountability . As opposed to thinking who was responsible and then fighting righteousness meaninglessly with no result focus - it is best to ask yourself 'Where to Focus' now that the unexpected has happened. 

With this question you channelise your energies and hack into your strengths. You don't have to think if your mindset is positive or negative, if your attitude is right or wrong. You just transform yourself into a being that is moving forward. It is pure energy, smiles and inspirational for those around you.

Remember, the truth is, our universe can and does respond to our internal desires, once we master the art of elevating our consciousness through reflection by asking powerful yet simple questions.

Next time you have an urge to say WTF!

say WTF? And search for the answer...

All the best!

PS : If you feel this little blog was too hard hitting, ask yourself what you need to focus on now :)
