100% Participation

Do you ever had the following experiences:

1. You attend some activities with friends, but when they play, your sit alone in the corner and watch. And when they ask you to join in, you say "you guys have fun!".

2. In a seminar or workshop, the speaker ask for show of hands for some items. You never raise your hand in any thing, as if you have no opinion.

3. Attending some talks, while the speaker talks, you were also talking with some friends. Chit-chating about other things.

4. You were required to do some additional homework for your work/ training. When you got home, you either do not do it, or simple scribble something just to show you done the work.

5. You know that you should do something or change something in your life, but you never do it. Maybe hoping someone will help you or do it for you.

6. You always seated at the middle row if not the last row, when ever you attend some classes, or seminar.

Have you ever wonder why you do that or behave in that way?

The above are just a few examples of not 100% participating in what you are doing at that particular moment. The list of examples are long and it can happens in anywhere at anytime to anyone. It will happen when we lost focus of what we are doing NOW and what we need to do NOW.

100% participation means that when you do something give it your 100%. Which also means that if in doing that something require you to do something else, you will not hesitate to do that extra work. Also when you do all those things, you give all the effort, focus, energy into them without holding back, so that you can maximize the result. That's 100% participation.

It is simple. When you work, you work. When you play, you play. When you listen, you listen. When is your turn to talk, you talk.
And not, when you work, you play and when you play, you try to work,neither nor, when you suppose to listen you talk.

Another fine analogy:
Yesterday is history;
Tomorrow is unknown:
Today is a gift, that's why it is call PRESENT!

To be 100% participating, is to be living at present. Be mindful of the present, and not focusing on other things like the past, or future. Take a more proactive part, be part of what ever you do, now! Carpe diem!

Too many a times, people regret too much about yesterday, about the past. Too many a times that people wish they can go back in time to fix something. Too many a times, people thinks that they can still wait a while before doing something. Too many a times people regret that they did not do something sometimes in their life.

But,too many a times people wasted too many times regretting and forgotten that they can do something NOW. They are simply not participating 100% in the present.

So lets be 100% participating in our life now.
DO IT NOW, FOCUSING ON NOW, GET THE BEST FROM NOW, CALL THEM NOW, FORGIVE THEM NOW, LOVE THEM NOW, VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, TELL SOMEONE THAT YOU LOVE HIM OR HER NOW, HUG THEM NOW, CRY NOW, LAUGH NOW, DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW, BE INVOLVED IN WHAT YOU DO NOW, BE WHO YOU ARE NOW.............

And you will not be regretful again.
Now that's the power of 100% participation.
