The Principle Of Seeing Beyond Sight
What you see inside of yourself is what others miss when they look outwards.
Each person tells, through images, but also through the power of the word skillfully used, a fragment of their life. Others, more open about their own inner world, inserting themselves inside a loop of reaction and control, manifest their emotions, thoughts and mood as if throwing themselves into an experimental delirium, a bringer of good luck in a magical story. The heart beats, the mind creates, the soul absorbs, and the body moves elegantly in the shape of a field daisy, in an eternal and superstitious play.
It happened after the half marathon competition. Party. Music, good mood. A lot of food. And dance. Of course, dance. But not everyone knows how to dance as gracefully, as lively as „Number 47”. A pleasant warmth covers his whole body, his smiles as if he were in a mirage, always halfway between real and phantasmagorical, keeping his reference value called „Rebound Number”. The elegance with which he moves, the note of atypicality he transmits around surpasses any voluptuousness of field butterflies, knowing that any beat of its wings can turn into a hurricane.
The man weighs about 98 kg, but no one notices his weight during the dance, so easily he undulates his body, his hips, in the gentle beat of the spring wind. He is not the winner of the contest, not by a long shot, but for me he is the laureate, the hero of the day, the genius, o ímpeto de uma exaltação continua e incansável . All the others vanished into oblivion, along with their medals. But he, the soul of the party, the symbol of life force, remains a crown of laurels for a long time, triumphant like a young god. And the colors of his superhero aura, poured out of his priceless treasury of elegance and grandeur, must shine like in a painting by Paolo Veronese.
Leadership: Can your vision exceed the limits of a horizon that does not belong to you, but belongs to the scenario that recovers the content of your own ideation?
He concentrates his creative imagination in a mirage from which he would never want to leave. Congratulations ! His glory was certainly given a special appreciation, with the same measure in which Alexandre Dumas described his key character in the novel „The Hand of Providence”:
„It seems strange how much this man concerns me. He has for me the attraction of the unknown. I have never felt a more burning desire to penetrate the secrets of a soul. There is something about him that draws me in an invincible way. Perhaps it’s just an appearance, maybe, as it has happened to me so many times, it’s just a vision, but one that changed my life forever.”
And what does this man look like? He sees himself as a winner, expressing his happiness through dance and music, even if the world doesn’t know it. The dance is the state of grace of the conqueror who exceeds his limits, and no one suspects what is happening inside him. He feels victorious even though he didn’t get on the podium, and continues to dance while everyone else has exhausted their energy and desire to be the center of attention.
Leadership: Can you describe an emotion capable of generating a moving image, so as to represent an attraction for immortalizing a moment that most of the time slips through everyone’s fingers?
Here is the visual story that must be imagined by those who look at reality with different eyes. An ordinary man, one who goes completely unnoticed during the contest, suddenly becomes bright in front of all eyes around. It feels very good where thoughts overlap between floating and forgetting, between dreaming and rebirth, venturing into the ecstasy of a trance, into an abstract state of consciousness where all sounds and sensations merge. From this painting, the dawn of a healthy ease emerges.
His motion sensor can be guided by a desire to surpass himself, by an intensification of mental and physical abilities, or by the search for mystical ecstasy, existing in a colorful tableau that enlivens, becomes a vision, and takes shape in an extremely natural and expressive way. And how many nuances, how many infinitesimal differences you can’t sift through when you propose to find a way out of anonymity, through a movement that opens the horizons, a form of interventionism in the almost unreal landscape of a day dedicated to escaping worries.
Leadership: Are you able to create a living picture that evolves in front of the viewers, in a moment of great emotional charge that has the great advantage of transmissibility?
„Be part of a living picture that evolves before your eyes”, that’s how the Man of the Day attitude was expressed, correlated with the persistence of a particular ease and improvisational spirit. His unexpected dance, winged with rhythm, with humor, with charm, was a moment in which they regenerated, young cells appeared and forced the measure into some normality, forced in a beneficial sense the renewal of his Miltiades blood. Or, maybe he found a new way to put his thoughts in order in creating an interior space, in choosing the color palette and an artistic background that make a painting a safe space of joy and satisfaction for the viewers.
He knows that life is a dream, a gift, a painting, and how beautiful it is seen depends only on him. It was for a certainty, a kind of battle flag, a kind of power instinct sprinkled with that invisible substance of time caught in a bag. Able to capture the intimate and living pulse of the event, his release having the great advantage of transmissibility, he immediately built a kind of image of superiority, or rather, the dance was a kind of confession in the image of his vocation to the world of fine arts . His dance remains the light of the eyes of those who watched it.
In short. Everything that my eyes caught today, the dance of the unknown man, seemed like a fragment from the novel „The New York Trilogy”:
„The man was an inexhaustible space, a labyrinth of endless steps, and no matter how far he walked or how well he came to know his surroundings, he always remained with the impression that he had lost his way. That he had lost himself. He felt as if he would have left himself behind, and then, abandoning himself to fine, well-coordinated movements, and reducing himself to a seeing eye, he managed to escape the obligation to think, and this brought him, more than anything else, a certain peace, a healthy inner emptiness. Movement was the essence of things, the impulse by which he put one foot in front of the other, allowing himself to be carried by the movement of his own body.”
In order to cultivate your vocation towards knowing the inner life of man, you must be able to see the interaction of the outside with him, without letting yourself be blindly carried away by the wave of his passion.
The Principle Of Seeing Beyond Sight captures the evolution of an activity of ascertaining a state of fact. I saw that man victorious, even if no one else knew how to see him victorious. And how do I see myself? Still a winner. Because leadership is a necessary exchange, through the penetration of the outside into the inside.
Nobody talks about the medalists who climbed the podium. The dust was chosen from their image. The success did not last more than a moment. But „Number 47” is alive, I can still see him dancing. He is the real winner, because you are reading about him now, you identified with him for a few moments, he remained in your soul. All the other participants in the race would be said to have never existed, no one talks about them. But you’ll always remember „Number 47”, even if you’ve never actually seen him.
To exist in people’s souls without being seen by them, to be a winner without a medal. That’s real magic ! That’s leadership !
