Start From The Possibility In Mind.
From Garden To Eden
What is true negativism? An indication is when the person thinks negative of someone else instead of proactively taking responsibility and improving the people and situation. Denial and lack of proactiveness are the real negativity. They negate and they deprive. Most people are keeping themselves distracted by being busy solving the wrong problems until the real crisis show how helpless they are, and yet they will numb themselves out with other sophistic distraction of self-administered delusions. It matters if you are a proactivist or passivist, than being optimist or pessimist, because as the optimist or pessimist are arguing on either views with the delusion that anything is actually done, the proactivist(s) or opportunist(s) are already 1 action ahead of the passivists whether they are optimists or pessimists. You can ramp up all the loud music and play all the ‘fake-feel-good’ motivational videos you want, at the end of the day. Only the outcomes, not even output, no matter how poetic or sounding they may seem, matters. We just need 10 minutes a day to spark the first few animations of miracle. Change may initially falter like a toddler, but it has to start somewhere before it gropes towards its equilibrium. As the culture brews, tools gain wide acceptance, ideas begin to germinate in all directions, people will be drawn towards the intellectual Zeitgeist. It would be like seem simmering a rock of rigid ice over time, and eventually reaching and crossing the state of seething fervor. In any form of proactive campaign, it may not be necessary to deploy brute force, one can abrade, erode, reform, and vanish them — like water pushing rocks out if its stream, in a gradual polish, shaping the landscape in the process.
Culture should be a resultant of creativity within the nursery of virtues. Culture has to start from somewhere, before it evolves and flourishes. Something that is seemingly of little value and humble like an amoeba may be the most astounding latent powers that dominates. Every man who codes a harmless snippet will never imagine that it may 1 day become the reason that the state of art to be born. Would John Ruskin thought of inspiring of Gandhi and Martin Luther King when he wrote “Unto this Last” a few centuries before them? Even Confucius who would have thought he died a failure did not foresee that he fathered an enduring ideology.
When you say “what if” you turn to another possibility that could have been ignored. Proactive love, not passive, can counter depression. That means, not only you notify and make the person aware that s/he is valuable, and you are there and now to work on the solution proactively.
A few common perspectives:
1. Opportunity-creation event
Initially, start out small, the effort may be nonetheless tremendous. Many a times, people will not commit, people do not believe. It will be disheartening persisting on dying or adamant hibernating projects that are shimmering with such futile hopes.
Along the way you will have countless hard knocks, but be glad of the persistence and will to act. You will see events from skill acquisitions such as to able to use tools like secure messaging, running 1/2 marathons, learning survival skills. Then proceeding to planning an expedition, corralling efforts to investigate and explore on historical sites, tracking down criminals. One year, you acquired Mandarin, the other year, you aim Arabic. Use the learning process as a change process. As you observe that your group begins to talk differently, walk differently, and started doing things that they formerly did not even give a thought to, you know you are gaining towards a core competency for impact. In those years, gather precious memories and where possible spicy adventures.
With the means, when the opportunity knocked, you will be able to answer.
2. Time-sharing event
In the balancing act of friends and family, connect people as a tribal leader. Build a group as a family and growing together in the programs.
3. Resource-by-product event
Failed projects need not go to waste. Recycle them. Extract lessons and formulated axioms on empirical live operations conducted, and archived them with military precision. You will also derive means to conduct measures and measurements on certain project lifecycle-processes. You will be able to translate failures to instruments of success later from … the mess you made on the weekend blood-tested projects.
4. Ensure a wholistic growth and progress
As the years went by, accrue a compendium of recipes. Collate from research, innovate and derive your own. Amalgamate multi-disciplinary schools of thoughts and form new ideas. You will be able to be operative in multiple facets of many fields. Be “a jack of all trades, and a master of at least one”.
5. Overcoming apathy
As humans, we do recidivate into ennui. Human are susceptible to sloth and gravity. However, as projects bloomed, they stand as testimonies of trackable records of provable methodologies. Know, for sure, there may be something around the next corner. It will keep you curious and going.
I assure you that if you start proactivity today. Persist for awhile in project storms, when the tempest is over, you will see some harvest or at least gain a few insights to ourselves on a personal discovery. Start today, pick up a pen and chart that roadmap.
It is the underlying purpose, the immortalized cause that preserves the underlying will. - Re: Crusade, 2007-04.09The way to gain momentum against the inertia of proactivity is to keep doing something that assures you that you are progressing towards your goals and embolden you the zest and energy. - Re: Drumming the march towards transformation, 2007-12.28To leave a compelling legacy, 1 must live a legend. If you want to leave a compelling legacy, you have to leave a legend - NOW. - 2007-12.29Education has been over-focused on the seemingly fait accompli rather than ideals and ideas. It is minatory to internalize preconception though non-intentively, while teaching the "what is" and "what has been" rather than the "what can be" or "what may have been", has obviate the possibilities of animations in creativity and creations. - Re: Evolution vs Revolution, 2005-09.23Life is never an accident, it's a formula. - Re: "We were star-dust", 2015-11.24
We need a mission. It sets and frames a proactive projection of direction in our lives. - 2019-01.13
