I recently took part in HELLO CHANGE!... These two writings where the answers to a question: "tell us about a project of yours', successful or not, in two ways: 1. as if you were speaking in front of a big audience; and 2. as if you where writing in Funky projects' (the company that designed Hello Change! as their hiring process) blog"
1... IN FRONT OF A BIG AUDIENCE
Have you ever experienced something inside you asking for change? Change to a more purposeful and fun living style? Do you sometimes hear a deep inner voice that says: "give up this job, sack your boss, follow your dreams!”. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
I spent some ten years in "comfortable" jobs, but I never felt fulfilled. One always knows it, but comfort is a hard drug. When used to it, the body needs more of it,... One good day I started again. From zero. I just stopped, took breathe, listened and set on. I started freelancing on the tasks I can accomplish due to my personality, experience, training and abilities. It's growing and it's exciting, and I can assure it to you: there is not a single minute I feel bored.
The word "job" does no more make sense. No boss, no clients,... just project-mates, life-mates. Family- and social- life is much easier and richer. One's whole life becomes a project, a life-project. It all makes sense again.
Do you know the good news? You are free too. Awake and act. Start. Now!
2.... AT FUNKY PROJECTS' BLOG
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything makes sense now. Not a single minute is useless. Connections appear all the time. All the people around can help. One idea makes place to another one, that sums up with another mate's one,... The buzz is started. It won't stop. It'll just grow, spread and multiply. The creativity virus has caught me. Fear is history. Dreams are the motor. Now as a freelance. Tomorrow collaborating with Funky Projects and all the happy shiny people out there.
Cheers!
