Don’t wait … Provoke your own destiny!
--
The traditional job, the job description, a checklist of our professional activities. Yet some of us are going beyond this list. They dare to cross the line and they can not do anything to stop. Envy, life, creativity push them to create more than we ask. Called to order, to the list, they must comply with the rules, otherwise, they are fired or pushed aside. A rectangular shape, a frame. A closet where we put things. we take others, sometimes those we put, locked up and sometimes the talents too creative that we wanted to bridle and limit. It’s like a door, you can not stay parked at the frame, inside or outside. A force invites us to go out or to stay at the condition to stand in check. Sometimes and often even the frame explodes. We are the setting. We do not survive, we live. We are finally free. After years of contortions, we emerged from a glass cube, outlines of our existence, and can move as we see fit. A look at the glass cube and we say to each other; Why? Is it my life? is it me? No, we are more than the cube, we stack the cubes to make projects. We put ideas end to end with exceptional precision to reach the goal. One thing that characterizes us: we are perfectionists. Very demanding with ourselves. By torture, no, but what is built must perfectly correspond to what we had thought, schematized, set in motion in our brains. Not a simple idea but a whole scenario, its unfolding, its epilogue, its added value, its result. For an imaginary comfort, a desire for security, we were content in contortions in too restrictive positions. This slogan is in mind: tomorrow is another day. This slogan kept boredom alive. Another slogan: and if I …
And if: with this formula everything is possible but without action, nothing happens. Stop thinking about tomorrow, kill the « if ». Live the present day and replace the “if” by the “when”. When we are at this stage, we will move on to the next step that we have thought, modeled and activated. Certainty prevails. The famous dream, a child’s formula: “When I grow up, I’ll be …” Now that you are, concretize to say: I grew up, and I do what I wanted to be a child. I do more because, on the way, I discovered new things and new ways opened up. A projection: to believe firmly and stick to it.
With the “if” we remake the world and with the “when” we decide the precise moment of its change, and that History is now under our feathers!
You are not the extras of your existence, but the main actors because as obvious as it may seem, it is your existence. It is up to us to orchestrate the part of this existence on which we can act.
Do not wait … provoke!
Provoke your own destiny !
