We remain anchored in the industrial society.
We continue with the mentality of the nineteenth century, in which there was an exchange of time for money.
Yes, that's how it was and that is how we want it to continue.
We endeavor every other day to perpetuate a pattern that has already expired. At least that's how it is in Western Europe where I live.
You talk to anyone about the economic or labor issue and the comments are always the same:
"Everything is getting worse, look fulano have fired from his job, with the years he had been in the company ... the happy crisis"
"And, look at Mengano with his forty-something years on the street and with a family to support ... Where is he going now? Who will hire you?
"These politicians are all the same, they go their own way, some take it crude and meanwhile the crisis engulfs us all ..."
Crisis, crisis, crisis ...
Do you feel that what you have just read is part of your unconscious thinking?
You are centering the origin of the supposed problems in another or others, when really the supposed problem is in you.
You, as a human being, have a wide range of possibilities at your fingertips when you are presented with a challenge or challenge. It is you and only you who decides at a juncture to take one path and not another.
If today you are in a certain situation, whether professional or personal, it is because You have consciously or unconsciously chosen to be there.
Your partner, your children, your family, your boss, the politicians ... are just pieces of that huge gear that revolves around you. The center is you. And you decide what surrounds that center, or, better, you decide how to interpret what surrounds that center.
There are only two things that come standard in the pack when you are born, and whether you want it or not, you have to accept:
Your parents and the geographical and socioeconomic environment.
Point.
The rest is choice.
Obviously while you are small, your parents are the ones who guide your steps with all their care and affection, and they want the best for you in all aspects.
Sometimes parents are judged and in some way they are held responsible for what we are living in today.
Big mistake.
They did it for you according to what they knew or knew what they thought most appropriate at the time, as long as you could not make decisions only.
Today you are a little boy and the excuse of blaming the origin of what is supposed to happen to the education you have received is at least childish.
If today you are burned in a work environment in which you depend on a boss, in which you rent your intellect for a salary, it is because YOU have decided to be there.
Nobody forces you to do this. And I do not want you to tell me that the "circumstances" took you there, that if the children, the family, the bills ... All these are excuses.
Give me reasons.
Give me reasons to perpetuate you in a puppet theater where your boss is the one who moves the strings that will cut when he pleases and you will fall defeated without compassion.
Give me reasons to stay paralyzed where you are for fear of "losing" work.
Give me reasons not to explore within you and discover or rediscover you as the magnificent being that you are with infinite possibilities of creation.
Give me reasons not to reinvent yourself by surfacing the best version of yourself ...
Stop now? If you want I follow ...
You are in a historical moment when everything moves at a dizzying speed, the changes happen quickly, so fast that you do not have time to assimilate one when you have another one on top.
Internet and technology in general has been a revolution in our lives in some cases difficult to digest, especially for people who were born analog.
All these changes have involved drastic changes in the way of understanding personal and professional relationships.
People and companies in particular have had to adapt to the new reality in order to survive.
Whether you want it or not, the way you communicate, the way you work has changed.
The key is in the adaptation.
As Darwin said, the strongest one does not survive, but the one that adapts best.
You, yes you. You have to adapt to the new reality, to your new reality.
You are immersed in the information age, in the era of knowledge and you continue to work hard as in the industrial era:
You comply with everything your company tells you and you do things as they indicate and you are not realizing that precisely because of this, your boss will always find someone cheaper than you to do it. Then what?
The structure on which you have set up your lifestyle collapses.
Reality is telling you that it has changed and you do not want to see it.
He is crying out to you to adapt, to behave differently.
If you continue doing the same things within the already obsolete model of the industrial society, you will continue to obtain the same results, and, I do not say so, Einstein said a long time ago.
