The Law Of The Man In The Storm
Do not throw yourself in the spumous waves of the performance, without assessing in advance the intensity of the storm, which can disturb your character and your personality.
There is no mystery, which could not be unraveled by the strong waves, enormous, and hardly combated of the truth. Events may facilitate and pave the way towards highlighting the personality. Or, conversely, may temporarily overshadow this personality. However, seeking and accepting the truth, mystery, this impassable territory, is unraveled.
I was heading towards the professional success as an actor that relies solely on his art to disguise himself in order to better enter into the skin of the other characters. I was caught in my own trap, much tighter and tougher than I could have imagined. However, an exhilarating race, oriented somehow towards performance. Thrown between two large oceans: "to be" and "not to be". Caught in the middle of an existential storm that did not promise anything sure.
I thought that the power of rising myself above the condition of a passer through the world and becoming much more than I was, could be stored in a kind of special batteries for to be available at my request and used at any time. Therefore, to enable the defeat of any boundaries, as well as the intact preservation of the identity - that seemed to rust in the decisive moments.
Leadership: How do you define your reality as long as you try to remain distinctive through the absolute uniqueness of the freedom to be yourself around a belief that dominates your thinking?
More specifically, I was in front of an unknown fact. Between an absolute of the real and an absolute of the fiction - against a cunning enemy that probably no one was suspecting him. Like a hero of Jules Verne, I was engaged in a struggle with an unseen force. An invisible hand was following me everywhere, threatening me with the sword well-propped in the middle of my reality, cutting all my roads in the intention to align myself to some "extremist" convictions, opposing all my concepts about life and its purpose. Without being able to riposte. Without anyone could intervene.
Everything was carried out on the real plan, like a concern that absorbed me completely. An incomplete awakening in the middle of the decline, but an awakening of which I took account. The only persuasion that dominated my thinking, in correspondence with the skill of the will to function according to the norm of the talent and of the creative spirit, was that everything could end with the success of the idea of free-will in front the predestination of belonging to a world that fails to rebuild itself. A world seen as an expression of an incomplete vision of what success or failure represents.
Living in the world of my own values, I was in fact stubbornly trying to live in an isolated world, driven by uncertainty. Could I have tried tricking it, try a maneuver to get away from this limit of my perspective, this pitfall of confusion, whatever it may have been? I do not know, I do not believe. I could not; I did not have the courage to risk drowning myself into uncertainty. In that continuous confusion that first spins until you do know where you are; then shakes you soundly, from here to there, on the spot, until you do not know anymore who you are.
I risked to lose myself definitely, to let myself be exploited by the force of uncertainty. I was caught in the middle of the storm. I was sinking little by little, among the deceptive waves of life. I manufactured my invincible mentality by the lack of responsiveness. I doubted myself. This was the truth.
Leadership: Are you prepared to deepen yourself in the twitching of a sense of overcoming limitations so as to identify yourself with the main values of a man who adjusts his direction by how things anchor in another reality?
As far as I am concerned, the values that guided me to understand the phenomenon I was experiencing through a continuous quest for questions and answers were totally different from those of others: I coveted only things that were not easy to get, and set aside those known by everyone else.
The road of self-knowledge is essential in leadership. It starts from the point where you are and ends up where you want to be. Assuming an identity that honors you by what you are, what you do, the way you present yourself before the highest court - your conscience. And consciousness means filtering all things with your inner acceptance before you act and see what reaction you get from life.
Self-knowledge is like a road that opens other roads. However, just as well, could mean a lost war with yourself, preventing you to complete yourself, making you to feel limited in a certain area or a certain part of your life.
Only the favorable events can occasion you the enhancement of your most precious good, your personality, which is formed and noticed precisely in the moment of smooth transition, but sometimes hard and painful, from an existential state to another, by assuming the courage to be vulnerable or imperfect.
The true light that connects you to the value of life is the consequence of the final confrontation between the decision to abandon yourself to a desolate feeling of frustration and the power to rise above and beyond limits of any kind.
One of the things that you learn and accept during the course of the leadership’s process is that the power to rise yourself above the condition of being an effect of a cause and to change things around in order to get as high as you can, is set by the will to free yourself from the scenarios of a struggle with unseen force. By identifying and assuming mistakes. You will always remember the mistakes that you made, but that has propelled you towards a constructive and a higher becoming.
In this respect, it is important to remember the point of view of the expert in leadership, John Maxwell: "I still feel the sting of the very painful things that I’ve learned when I try to pass them on to you. Yet, I’m also encouraged because I’m glad to recognize that I am wiser today than I was in years past."
The human character and personality that embraces the science of leadership, it is formed by going forward, but always looking back, at the mistakes you have committed in the fight with yourself.
Leadership: Do you offer a unique value to the life resulting from interpreting an unknown fact during the assessment of self-consciousness?
Self-consciousness in the mysterious picture of life is revealed with the recognition of those values of meaning that make you proud and honor you, such as continuity, originality and permanent renewal, from which you have to choose only your choice of truth. Do you attach a sense of ascension or descent to your journey? You find out the truth when you come to give yourself the particularity of functioning by recognizing and accepting your own limitations and mistakes.
The only unknown fact that you have to sketch out through thoughts, attitudes, and skillful approaches, through lines of great sensitivity, drawn out angrily, in that constant whirlwind that first turns you until you do not know where you are, is the freedom to be yourself and defeat yourself.
In leadership, it is not enough to be high enough to shine, but you must shine from the perspective of what you cannot do, through the observation that you are not who you thought you were, just as the sun shines when it is covered by clouds.
And to some and others of those who respond to the call of leadership, and to the debutantes and artists, they deserve all the gratitude of the corresponding composition of the action plans and personal development needs. Especially, for the kindness and promptness with which, they expressed their willingness to contribute to the composition of a "sketch" of the future leadership.
In their possession is the essence of different viewpoints and prospective attitudes regarding leadership, which constitutes the basis of an edifice that reflects their personality. Under the form of those raw impulses of acting, of becoming increasingly perfect, they stimulate their imagination, desire, will, thoughts, and emotions - maintaining them in distinct positions throughout the process of development.
Only those willing to take seriously the construction and maintenance of this edifice, and to deal with the leadership’s future, will come to set on foot that whole, called Success.
The success or failure of a person depends on what he imagines to be in a reality that is no longer perceived as a whole, but as separate fragments of his personality.
The Law Of The Man In The Storm shows off the position of the man towards himself, the responsibility to consecrate himself towards a development that can propel him forward, towards success, only through an analysis of the sacrifices and efforts imposed by overcoming the obstacles. Only by investing the character with the most beautiful traits, someone can get close to perfection.
Are you standing in front of a cunning adversary, "the Man within you"? Can you lunge, by trying a maneuver of removing yourself, whatever would be that, of what did not define you, of what is toxic for your becoming?
Are you manufacturing your invincible mentality by the lack of responsiveness before the mistakes you make throughout the period of probation of your character? What are the parts of your personality that remained immature, by making impossible your development?
