The First Determinant Of Leadership
Stimulate your motivation to surpass yourself, finding that component of your self-image that you can cross into the plans of the extremes that shake you.
It was more than my capturing in the chains of previously experienced perceptions, whether it is to analyze the fertilization of my thinking in the all-encompassing whole of a waking state – accompanied by a justification of isolation from the real world. Undoubtedly, my beta testing the tendency to interpret experiences of life only in terms of strength will be an attempt to situate me in the state of final deception, towards introducing the limits of hope that kept on shrinking..
It was something beyond the meaning of knowledge that underpinned the consciousness of my time to find a motivation for existence, a psychology of the way to the alternative of freedom without constraints, something beyond the limits of the possibility of infinitely varied knowledge of a science fiction that employs man on a dark path of isolation. It was a gray shade of the way to make changes over which there were certain eternal, steady laws, which were subject to certain restrictions of access applied in a nightmare that is repeated throughout.
In this case, leadership was an acceptance of the willingness to guide me towards an unforgettable adventure, to a great way to live by the subtlety of the psychology to surprise, at the same time, both the general and the particular aspect of the human being inscribed in the ensemble of an ending world.
I, Gerry Lane, a very atypical scientist, was not sure that the virus that terrified the world, turning any man into a zombie, could have a definitive cure. There was only one thing I was sure of: I had to have enough energy to swing at will between a reason based on a logical thread and a reason based on natural phenomena and on partial rational deductions extracted from natural phenomena.
Can you dare to imagine the future of your relationship with yourself and communicate it to the world through the way you live your life in the face of an atypical natural phenomenon that is growing faster?
Being caught within the limits of a simple logic, nothing complicated for the genius of staying in the body of the art of survival, with a wide spread in the construction of the apparatus of my own intellectual hegemony, I began to make my destiny so that I feel that I live my life in the most useful way, just as a talented sculptor can emphasize, in composition and color, the deep, human content with a lot of verve.
The forces that pushed the world into cycles of unpredictability of life, change of things, and the laws of science during an authentic, unprecedented individual emancipation constituted elements of a mechanical language, accomplished by welding with the perceptions of value that defined me by a distinct role, at the temperature of such a self-responsibility seriously committed to reality. My future seemed to be an eventual succession within an atypical phenomenon that cannot be explained by conventional science.
Far from me, the lack of motivation from the very beginning of a perpetual exile in the private space of an authentic phenomenology: "That’s what I am". The expression of the state of imprisonment, the silence of an art camp viewed from the angle of the pressure of contact between the real plane and a crushing concreteness and that of the lessons it sent to the world was expressed by the color of the extremes to which I was subjected. An extreme of the interpretation of the mood to fulfill the worldly duties and an extreme of patience from the perspective of time.
The meaning you give to superior attitude (of a hero) is a part of the experimental psychology produced on the way to the border crossing point between what isolates you and what inspires you.
It was the time of the desert journey, the time to choose between good and evil, the possibility of accepting a defeat, and the possibility of assuming it with that dilemma with which Jean Valjean, the character of Hugo, strengthened on the path of good in the struggle with the darkness of the wickedness of the world that continually denigrated it.
The first component of the self-image that deserves to be crossed in the plans of the extremes that shake you is the attitude of showing yourself in any situation better than the one you are in. Gery Lane is the hero who finds his destiny by surviving a phenomenon called “That’s what I have in a world that tries to hide in the dark”, and who manages to keep events in check by fighting against the forces of nature. And in this context leadership is the responsibility that Gery assumes as a survivor in a world subject to death.
And the sense of authenticity that promotes "That’s what I am", which I had many times the opportunity to speak of, expresses the belief that even the destination you’re headed is the radiance of life that complies with an immeasurable ruminations and superior attitudes. Not always life, through its ups and downs, is the one that is arranged according to the interpretation you give it, qualified as more or less precise, more or less imperative.
Leadership is the heroic attitude you have in the face of that colossal change that can turn you into a worthless object with which destiny, having become ruthless, cynically plays.
The First Determinant of Leadership is the situation in which you place yourself in when you promote the sense of authenticity in terms of a retrospective of the entire process, derived from the great unknown of endless battles accepted as a necessary evil. A cultivated, deepened struggle built on the pillars of delusion, confusion, pride, conscience, or freedom of action.
Sometimes assuming the opportunity to experience a completely different world in the story your destiny creates is a component of the self-image that you are crossing into the extremes that give you a certain vision, and not necessarily a happy one about life.
