Friday evening is fun to
get together at the bowling alley. After letting a heavy ball to roll and it knocks all pins,
the excitement is unspeakable joy. Sharing these feelings among friends
and families is a bonus.
However, this heavy bowl
is so hard to control. It doesn’t knock all pins every single time. Sometimes a bowl hit some and sometimes it
doesn’t hit at all. And we all somewhat get disappointed, although we keep
smiling to hide our disappointment.
I found these events in
the bowling alley as the life analogy. Having a good intention doesn’t
mean we are always successful.
We focus on knocking all
pins down, which is great. When it doesn’t work, keep trying until your
10th throw in a game. When you lose your focus, too bad. But if you keep focusing at each throw, give
yourself a credit on you are trying. You might be thinking what didn’t
work and what you want to do differently in the next throw. It is a reflective process. If you show
and feel your progress, it is great! But
if not, you still have a great intention and you keep trying until the end of
the game.
When you wonder why
someone wouldn’t understand your intention, think about the bowling game.
And keep trying with a frequent reflection process. Sometimes you knock all pins while you would
miss many times. But as long as you have genuine good intention, you will
have fun. And no matter how many pins
fall, let’s celebrate after the game!
