A picture of a team offsite pops up on my social media feed. The team is decked up in a queue filling their plates from the buffer lunch.
It makes me wonder, so much of the wonders in our lives are a consequence of breaking the queue of what everyone else does.
If you eat healthy, you will carry your dabba from home to eat along with your colleagues. You have broken the queue.
If you want to get a job, you will reach out to the decision maker in the company. Instead of waiting for the HR to get back to you. You have broken the queue.
If you want to sit at home and do meetings only if you want to, step-by-step you will build a client base, a home office, a pipeline of work that supplements exactly that. It might mean you have to break the chain of job hopping in lieu of creating a life on your own terms, but with wisdom, work and working on the side with your main job, you have broken the queue.
So much of life is about remembering the fact that when you go inside instead of following the world outside, you have broken the queue. And that is exactly what life is about.
