True story:

This morning I was reading the last blog of my friend Seth of the CBC about THE FUTURE.

The future is a fascinating thing load of mysteries. Does the future already exist? Is it something we build little by little? Does TIME exist or is it a product of our physical condition and it is limited to our perception of reality?

Since time is real in our mind, I will consider it to be real EVEN IF, in the greater scheme of things probably it is not…but in reality, it wasn't what I wanted to write about.

What I wanted to point out, is that for a part of my life I lived under a specific operational principle: that of cause and effect. This is pretty common especially in our western way of thinking and doing things.

Cause/Effect means that we are affected from our past. What happened yesterday is conditioning what I am doing today and what's happening today will affect what I will do tomorrow.

This is what I also use to call “If then else” cycle.

From a certain point, I decided to make an experiment with my life and I said like: “What if, instead of having my present conditioned from my past, I acted according to my purpose?”.

Basically I wanted to exchange the cause/effect principle with that of purpose which in my mind seemed to be far more natural and coherent with what I see.

If you think about it, this is what a painter, a sculptor any kind of artist does while completing his piece.

The sculptor has in front of his eyes a block of stone or wood and according to what is his vision of the future within that block, he acts with the tools at his disposal.

It is funny to observe how with this mindset, all the things changes just by changing this simple perspective.

In many ways, it is like saying to exchange “if – then – else” cycle, with “EVEN IF”.

It is also like to moving from a passive stage of life to an active one.

Before, anything could dissuade me from reaching what I liked to reach because of my feelings about the past. With time and practice, I learned how to not consider the past at all and cut the future like a blade…well…it is not like this 100% of the times but at least I try to have a good grip on it 😁😁😁.

This is also related to the ATTENTION thing of some day ago, so if you had not the chance to read it....give it a try!!
