The next meeting

FabrizioLeave a comment

The outcome of your next meeting is going to be dependent on the following much more than it will be on your communication and argumentation skills.

  • Whether you are usually the one who gives others work to do or the one who takes work away from other people’s shoulders.
  • Whether you are usually the one who points fingers and assigns responsibilities or the one who brings others together to find a solution.
  • Whether you are usually the one who gossips behind other people’s back or the one who stops a gossip the first time they hear it.
  • Whether you are usually the one who does things at their own terms informing as little people as possible or the one who seeks involvement and promotes open communication.
  • Whether you are usually the one who is close to any type of feedback or criticism or the one who appreciates other people’s input and improves based on that.

Journey

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.

Chatting and doing

FabrizioLeave a comment

A chat can change it all.

It can change the frame, it can shift the narrative, it can move you forward. Instead of getting stuck in your head, seek a chat with a friend, a partner, a family member, a therapist, a coach, a colleague, a decent human being. Talking things through, even just talking about things, is powerful.

Of course, a chat cannot make things go away. So, seek a chat often, particularly in darker periods. And understand the importance of alternating the chatting with the doing.

It’s a fine art.

You’ve got this

You.

Because you are in charge. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your friends, colleagues, or any general circumstance. You are driving this car and you call the shots.

Have got.

Because it’s in you. Whatever it is you need, you have it. You might not have found it yet, in fact you might be searching for it right now. In articles, podcasts, gurus, and self-help books. But it’s not there, it’s in you.

This.

Because it’s up to you to choose what “this” means. Perhaps it’s money, success, fame. Happiness, tranquillity, relaxation. Family, balance, spirituality. You define it and you make it meaningful.

You’ve got this.

A lot to do

FabrizioLeave a comment

If you count the people who need a kind word, who seek somebody who listens to them, who might do with some sort of encouragement, you’ll get to a number that is very close to the number of people that exist in this world.

There’s a lot to do, and you can start today.
