It starts with a thought, a grand thought of being someone great. Then I look outside and see many great people doing great things, people more successful than me, people stronger than me, people in better relationships. Then I start to wonder what do I value? Why is it important to me? I look in.
As humans, we are constantly comparing our value in the social hierarchy, many people have illusory hierarchies, many people think this is a game of showing whos the biggest meanest person without being anything of substance. That is my fear, and that is what I hate the most. I want to be a person of value, a person who creates value from what he does. I hope my ideas, words and actions are valuable.
In a lot of ways we are in the best of times, there's a network of activities which support our lives. At the same time, there is a strange desire of sticking to what we know and following routines to avoid disasters. The fear of change is crippling, sometimes even for me. But the desire for growth is greater, a plant lives this and teaches us the lesson of growing regularly expanding its branches and being valuable to others. Creating a life for others.
That's a nature I want to adopt, does the plant care about what other plants think of it? At this point, you might say plants can't think. Well, okay, you're right. But what I am saying is, it doesn't care, and its main aim is to give value the best value and nothing else. I want to achieve something like that, I have some skills, I'll use my skills to create magic in this world. I will slowly but surely make progress. And make my visions a reality. I don't like calling desires as dreams because dreams are a loose word, I want vision, an action-packed word.
Coming to my current priorities, and having a fair assessment of myself, I am good at speaking and influencing people, giving a reason why? Having good reasons are important (Why? - What is there in the world apart from good reasons?). There are many questions, I have to ask myself for why I want to give and create value - Let's look at death, death is important... end of my life what matters the most is I lived a life which I wanted.. "what do I want?" becomes the important question then, and "why do I want it?" becomes the second most important question... Looking at the tree analogy if I say I am a tree which will give a certain kind of fruit, I will contribute and make this world slightly brighter for others.
Technology has been a great enabler for a lot of things, giving life back to people, giving tools to create and make magic. I am good with tech and influencing people. Thus, I feel I can contribute with that superpower. I also need to expand my vision, build it up slowly and surely to give something great back.
