When something seems to big to tackle, it’s ok to start with just a small part of it.
You don’t have to start with being a content creator, you can start with one post.
You don’t have to get straight into that difficult conversation, you can start by meeting on a different topic.
You don’t have to share the bad news with your dear ones, you can start by spending time with them.
Many hide instead, but there is immense value in starting with a very small step.
People will always try to get things their own way. It’s the shortest path to comfort.
Nobody likes to argue.
Nobody likes to compromise.
Nobody likes to change their mind or their ways.
Nobody likes a difficult conversation.
Nobody likes new.
People will always try to get things their own way, and you will try to get things your own way too.
But there’s no progress with holding onto your way when people around you, repeatedly, say they want something else.
You can still try to get things your way.
And you can go alone.
Everything happens for a reason.
But contrary to what most of us think, we have more control on the “reason” than we like to admit. The reason is not something external, something that others or circumstances impose on us, something that we are forced to accept.
The reason is a narrative.
And we control the narrative.
When something important ends, there are two ways to react.
One is to look within. Figure out why it ended, try and build resilience, be in touch with your own feelings and pain, imagine a way forward.
One is to look outside. Look for distractions, focus on someone or something to blame, numb feelings and pain with temporary rewards, move frantically in the moment.
Most often, the two coexist. But you can’t really move forward until you have spent a good deal of time in the first state.
We are human beings. Not because we merely are, but because we aim at figuring out who we are, what we stand for, what our essence and purpose are.
We are human doings. Not because we are productive, but because we aim at pursuing our essence and purpose.
And we are human connectings. Not because we are around others, but because we aim at spreading our essence and purpose, while at the same time being influenced by others essence and purpose.
One thing is not true without the others.
