When I Missed a Train Station

Understanding how our mindset impacts our life can put us in better control.

This incident happened several months ago — I was going home after a day-long work in the city and boarded the train from City Town Hall.

Then, as usual, got involved with my smartphone, until my wife called to check my arrival time.

I looked up to see the nearby station/area to give her an estimate. That’s when I realised I missed my station already and I was five stations ahead.

The first thing I did — acknowledged that I was heading in the wrong direction.

Next, I quickly estimated how to correct the course, i.e. get down to the next station and catch another train to my destination.

And then — I just followed what I decided! Finally, I reached home, I was late, but I was there — where I wanted to be!

Outcomes don’t just happen — they are the output of our behaviour.

Our thoughts drive our behaviour, while our thoughts are the product of our mindset.
