Sometimes, more than what is being said, its about when and where its being said. And such moments, if they click, can bring about a great deal of insight, inspiration and CHANGE. It is, however, crucial that these moments are not lost in translation or interpretation. And it is not always easy to do that with similar passion and excitement.
I have learnt that we must hold things that inspire us very dear and close to our hearts. Especially if its people. Call them, email them, let them know they inspire you with every conversation and it matters a lot to you.
Change is the only constant they say. But change is also tempting and easy to point out – I mean the need for change is easy to point out. But actually initiating, creating and managing change is a complex process. At the same time, it is a really challenging task to decide what really needs to change and what doesn’t. And sometimes what is needed is a change in the whole context you exist in. You can follow a process to change a process, but what process do you follow to change the context of your existence?

The question then becomes if I am here to change things or myself? And the easy answer is: both, or well, whatever is needed. I knew how to do that, once upon a time, I did.
Now, I am thinking to myself: What if you had to start all over again? You have an idea of what really matters, how you could make things really work and live a purposeful life. Perhaps knowing yourself too much is a roadblock from becoming who you could be. But like its famously said by George Elliot, ” It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”
