Rich Man, Find The Poor Again

Realize a return to what you were, before to regain your superiority in who you’ve become.

"My judgement now lacks the precise weighing of the past, because I revisit the past from the other end of the horizon. Indeed, the more I move forward, the past, similar to the landscape you cross, fades away as you depart. The same happens to me as it happens to the people that get hurt in their dreams: they see and feel their wound, but they do not remember when it happened.

Reborn man, rich full of oddities, man who sleeps with his eyes open, all powerful visionary, invincible millionaire, look again upon the fateful road of the miserable and starving life, again go through the paths in which destiny pushed you to, where misery drove you to and despair received you.

Too many diamonds, too much gold and too much happiness shine now in the waters in which Monte Cristo sees his past self through the deepest darkness, Édmond Dantes. Remember ! Remove the diamonds, smear the gold, wipe the rays. Rich man, find the poor again. Free man, find the prisoner again. You, the reborn, find the corpse again."

And having kept telling himself all this, Monte Cristo walked along Caisserie street. It was the same street where, twenty-four years before, he was taken by the silent and nocturnal guards. The houses with the cheerful and animated look were dark that night, silent and closed.

- And yet, I am the same, murmured Monte Cristo. Only that it was dark that night and now it is broad daylight. The sun is the one that brightens and cheers all. *

Leadership: How magnificent is the image you are creating on the "experience" relationship to the experience of life, as expressed in an add-on of critical reflection on the interactions between Choice and Destiny?

Sometimes we have to take several steps back to see the big picture. Recognizing what we really are, grouping certain meanings of life brought into contact with a stronger Ego, can charge us with more motivation.

This too is a way of discovering our personality, strengths and weaknesses, but not a certainty of healing from the syndrome called "split personality" that can influence our path followed through life. A personality that wants to be different from others. And a personality that struggles with the fear of losing itself, of remaining trapped in a reality in which nothing makes sense.

The only way to achieve a high-level experience that will allow you to exceed yourself (the main ingredient of personal development), is to not let yourself be led by that filled consciousness that negatively fuels your mood, which permanently whispers you to stop in your tracks and slum it out under the blanked of a relative stability – of the abundance that doesn’t spill its overflow.

A form of mental reflection of the objective world, characterized by a dry rationality and by the fear of your own identity, does not permit you to understand the imperfections, but rather exerts a bad influence over your performance indicators.

Psychologist Paul Slovic from the University of Oregon said: "You need your feelings to check an analysis and you need an analysis to keep your feelings in check."

Leadership: Are you willing to rethink your way of relating to yourself by using the "Load Extended" command so that the motivation with which you face the trials of life will know an upward trend?

Prior to contributing to the expansion of leadership, highlighted by your quality of not being noticed by others for various defects, remember how important it is to self-evaluate and correctly shape yourself, "clinging" to the past that tested you and brought you to this point. Differences, of course, appear between what is mainly achievable and what is not otherwise possible, but it is nonetheless a way to better find yourself within your own authenticity.

The command "Extended Load" allows jumping into a time of unpredictability, of mishaps you had to experience as if they were natural for future changes.

Crossing this oppressive space, returning to a time of a still undecided destiny, you will remember to live, to risk and to again bite with great appetite from those days life lays out for you. To live by that supreme hope of reconciliation with yourself, with the world and time, is a way of passing the harsh test of life trials and to push the limits of your own thinking towards the good you have to reach. This is a form of greatness that a leader must show.

The greatness that influences leadership is represented by the way of dealing with God in trying to resonate with that which defines you to the end of your life so that you do not force your destiny to take you where there is no need for you: towards regret and vanity.

Rich Man, Find The Poor Again is a metaphor that highlights that relationship between causality and effect, showing that man wasn’t placed in the center of the world to easily look upon what happens around him, and also not to become complacent in that state of slavery of his own struggle, but rather to know himself.

Adding a word from philosophical doctrines, "man must know himself to see what he knows and what he does not know, and then to thoroughly prepare to acquire knowledge, only thus hoping to become wise, so as to judge others as well."
