The Problem

'The Piscian symbol of the two headed fish symbolizes that they are confronted with two choices. To go up stream against the current or down stream where the tide takes them.

-Linda Goodman.

The Problem

I began to notice that it was a pattern with me. I had to choose to do something useful with my time, or to laze around and waste it. The latter choice was chosen more often than it ought to be. Sometimes, even while doing something relatively useful, my mind wonders off to mindless hallucinations. I even learned to give this unconscious act a term. ' Lost interest' I called it. My friends caught me saying this so often that it clung on to their speech pattern too. The problem was more the unconscious lack of focus ( if I may call it) than the mere using of the term.

The Analysis

I soon learned that in order to achieve something I will have to fight the ' Lazy Temptress' away (as my sister would call it). Now we all know that that's more easier said that done. If the problem was as simple as laziness the solution becomes drastically simple, but its not. The instinct to choose the easier option was always playing in the forefront, making simply choosing to do the harder more difficult, to say nothing about actually doing it. 

The Solution

We all know that every problem has a solution. The solution to this one has been lingering around even before the problem arose. I mean to say that the answer to this is in the problem itself. Most of the time we figure that the solution to a problem was right it front of us, yet we just could not see it. Like when you suddenly realize you lost something, panic and look all around the house, not find it, and return back to were you started consoling yourself that maybe the house got hungry and swallowed it (somehow), only to find that it was in your pocket all along. Something like that, if you do not consider the exaggeration of the impossible Monster House (Yes, I love the movie). But the point is that the answer is to choose the harder option.

But....

The New Problem

Which is the harder option? 

This is never ending. I lost interest.
