Last Sunday, I happened to watch an episode of Masterchef US Season 3. After the elimination challenge, the contestants, one by one, would present their "finished food" for the judges to taste. To make the long story short, when it was Tali's turn to present his food Chef Gordon interrupted him and angrily went to his kitchen station. Chef Gordon was scolding Tali like a child because his station was a mess!!! Dirty pans were on the floor and piles of trashes were just scattered in his station. Before tasting the food Tali cooked, Chef Gordon told him that "A messy situation creates a messy output (or something like that)." True enough, the food Tali created was blah blah!
Indeed, when our table in the office is messy... when documents are not filed properly... or when our thoughts are disoriented.. the tendency is for us to deliver our work inefficiently. The same goes with our relationships. When we have a lot of insecurities, worries, or hang-ups, the way we deal with others will be affected. Arguments may often arise.
A messy situation doesn't only literally means a cluttered room or area. It can also mean a disoriented thought. Naks! For me being messy is all mindset. Because if we engrossed ourselves with so much negativity then the result would be a messy life. So if we want to achieve that happy, balanced life we must do ourselves a favor by only engaging in positive thoughts. Yes, life can sometimes be harsh even if we've been good but if we don't dwell on the not-so-good-part... our life will eventually turn the way it's supposed to be - blissful.
