Travel for Pennies

Really? It’s not that bad? A phrase whose use makes me laugh. Not that bad denotes the acceptance of mediocrity, I.e. He/She isn’t that bad or this job isn’t that bad. This 5 star Mumbai hotel wouldn’t have even one star with that attitude. Is this the life you are willing to resign yourself to? Once around on this ticket and I want to strive for better than not that bad! One that isn’t ‘that bad’? What kind of existence are we living when we allow ourselves to work for a company we describe as ‘not that bad’, or allow friends and relationships into out lives that we describe as ‘not that bad’? If the description is ‘not that bad’ then by definition there is better, then why settle? When we allow ourselves to be directed by other out side sources and we ignore our true inner knowledge we begin to resign ourselves tot he its not that bad life. We will inevitably end up in a situation that ‘isn’t that bad’ because we don’t have any expectations for something better. After all how would you feel if your spouse described you as not that bad. You can change this. Why? Because that situation is of our choosing and therefore we are the ones in control over it we can make decisions that improve how we are and what we expect in life. I suggest awareness of situations that you feel are not that bad and look for your part in them. If you have no control over the situation then the matter of perspective you choose to look at the situation with is important. But if you can do something it is your responsibility to expect and work for something more than something described as not that bad.
