Journey

FabrizioLeave a comment

Sometimes a journey takes you where you wanted to go. And sometimes it takes you somewhere completely unexpected.

You might end up with people you like and enjoy, or with people you had never thought could be close to you. You might find yourself doing things that are familiar and that you know extremely well, or you might have to improvise and get out of your comfort zone. You might feel content and energetic, or you might realize you are lost and completely depleted.

Sometimes a journey takes you here, and sometimes it takes you there.

And one way or the other, you are always exactly where you are supposed to be.

At the beginning of a new journey.

Our little self

We’d like to control others. What they think of us, what they do in the projects we lead, what they care about when it’s time to buy, how they feel when we are together.

We’d like to control others, situations, circumstances, luck, misfortune, talent, success.

We’d like to control all of that and all we can control is our little self.

Better become good at that at least.

Take the first step

If you want to meet somebody, take the first step.

If you would benefit from being more networked, take the first step.

If you think you should develop some skills, take the first step.

If you seek a reference for the next job application, take the first step.

If you’ve met an interesting person you want to stay in touch with, take the first step.

If you need a change in your life, take the first step.

If you crave a chat with a friend, take the first step.

Things will not just happen because you go through your day, and the first step is always the most difficult to take. Nobody else will take it for you.

Bring you down

FabrizioLeave a comment

When something ends, all you want to hear is that you will be missed.

That it was great, that it’s a pity, that it’s not your fault, that memories are valuable, and that something better probably awaits you in the future.

It’s the feeling that what you did was not enough, combined with the feeling that you still have a lot to do, that will bring you down.

If you’re ending something, keep this in mind.

Colleagues

If you are constantly in a situation where you know and your colleague does not.

Where you have the answers and your colleague does not.

Where your job is better than the job of your colleague.

Where your opinion matters more than the opinion of your colleague.

Where you understand while your colleague doesn’t really get it.

Where you have all the expertise while your colleague really just is a junior.

Where you make decisions while your colleague waits for your decisions to be made.

How can you really expect to build a relationship with them?
