One might
think, how can a young woman like her know anything about that? Thanks to my
curiosity for learning and information, a hunger to explore and some luck I
keep meeting interesting people with different backgrounds, in different
situations, on different levels of their lives. Who trust to give me a part of
their stories. These stories are part of making me grow professionally and
personally. Because I learn a lot from only observing.
What makes or breaks a person? Making or breaking a person can be interpreted in different ways, to make it simple an external and internal part. And I cannot say all about it. When I meet people of whom I think “that person has really made it!”, either in personal life or in professional life, and I tell them that, sometimes they agree and often they reveal a part why they still not have made it.One important aspect I observed is surrendering and not having all control. People who know how to surrender (bits), either to their feelings, or to a business partner or their thoughts or any other thing, were in the end more in control, without knowing it.
And while a lot of people think, if I have enough money, I will make it. That is partly true. I’m not saying don’t make money, don’t become rich. It is often if the money is used to full inner satisfaction of that person and when there is no big emotional attachment to that money, that I heard people were happy. It is the way you “play” or “deal” with your richness or being poor that gave them more opportunities, money wise or personal.
Lot of articles mention: give attention to your relationships. I hear and observe relationships are important, but can also be like waves of the sea, coming and going, sometimes strong, sometimes weak. Some people who make it can easily be broken, neglecting the relationship with themselves: so much involved in pleasing friends and partners and important dinners and parties and showing they are an important person, that they did not pay attention to how important they have to be for themselves. I must say, I have not met a person personally yet who told me they had a better relationship with themselves first and then with others. I heard and read about such people and are said to be internally happy and externally happy. And in the end, lot of friends who you consider close might rather see you fall than rise. They might not say it or show it, perhaps I can see that as human nature. And this keeps coming back in the talks I had with different people big and small.
That is it for now. Already written much, bits of my observations. Some might say: I knew this already! Or this is obvious! Often the most obvious has to be said again, seeing it from different angles J. As I find this an interesting topic, who knows, a part 2 might follow.
