While I was working on the visa, air tickets etc., I realized that the hope for a good time itself is a proxy of good time.
No doubt there has been a great deal of work that has been done so far but it was done with an elevated spirit. The work did not stress me. I could narrow down on few points:
- Hope for a good time is a proxy of good time
- The destination may not be as good as expected but the hope gave you a good time already
- Work done with a visualization of fun does not stress you
I am trying to replicate this at work too...by challenging myself that if I make this presentation a little better, chances are audience will stand and applaud.
This hope keeps me going, makes me deliver better and helping me transform without putting stress on me.
Will update you in Jan'15 on my vacation experience.
