THIS IS WHO I AM
#1 – Be On
Do you know Franco Battiato?
He is one of my favorite italian songwriter/composer and in one of his most popular and dated songs he sings: “I look for a permanent center of gravity. Let me never change my mind about things and people ...over and over agaaaaain..”.
He basically points out the need to BE ONE yourself in every situation.
I was discussing this with my CBC guru Al. He lives in Japan and in his blog he always gives excellent food for thoughts…give to him a follow. Well worth.
Anyway…Al was pointing out the fact, that we use to be a different kind of person for each situation we face or in which context we are introduced.
He is right..what is missing to me, is a permanent gravity center (as the song suggests) that allows us to bring our values unaltered in each case, so to be always ONE PERSON, no matter if you are a worker, a family man, a friend, a son..whatever. It is a little bit counter intuitive because we actually are thought to be able to adapt to any situation and change our habit in respect to that. What I think is that we should have the charisma and personality to shape the situations themselves with our presence. And this requires A LOT of self education and awareness. So, as I was mentioning in yesterday’s post, I will try to give my point of view in this regard and also a good PRACTICAL way to DEFINE YOURSELF.
Yes because..i mean..or you define yourself and claim “THIS IS WHO I AM” or you let the other define yourself.
To be ONE person to me means to be monolithic in the set of values we bring into us. To be so confident in these pillars into our psyche, that we are able to face any situation without fear of being compromise, because we know and we are well aware that our potential has the capability to overcomes every possible adversity. Once this has been achieved no matter what we do: the plumber, the rock star, the journalist, the teacher or the astronaut...we should be able to transfer our personality into this roles…not only this. We stretch our comfort zone to its limit, to a point where we find hard to understand if there is any limit.
So that's why I will call this series of articles “THAT’S WHO I AM”.
Delving into what I think to be the difference between feelings and emotion, how I learned to use them to enlarge my spectrum of awareness about myself, the surrounding circumstances, and in what way I train myself on daily basis, without efforts and with consistency, to rest in shape in the mental/emotive side as much as in the physical side. Let's do some *****Psychebuilding!!
