Different colors and hues
I am talking about your boss.
Look at him. Do you want to be him? Because you will be him in 5 or so years.
This was whispered to me a long time ago and I was confronted with the question. Did I want to become my boss? More importantly, was I in the right path?
The right path would, well, feel right – if you like what you see. The responsibilities, the demeanor, the family life, the stresses, the pressures, the rewards – of your boss – will be yours one day.
Can you be him? Do you want to be him?
Mine then was at the top of his game. He was a TV director and discoverer of promising actors, much revered, much admired, strong, sure, eclectic. He was a god amongst men – at least, that’s how I thought other people thought of him – as they withered and shivered under his all-seeing gaze.
I looked at him and I looked within. I realized I did not want to be him (apart from the fact that no one could ever be him).
And that I had to stop taking that very path right then.
So I stopped and hopped on to the law school – and then lawyer – train.
I am on another train right now, but I have my eye on the same destination. What’s great about life is you have these choices but you have to realize that you have them and that you have to take some chances some of the time.
And that you may have to be off-road some of the time. And someone can throw a monkey wrench into your plans. And that’s okay, the better for you to enjoy the scenery, and the people who are with you in the journey.
But look. Take a good look.
Are you on the right path? Do you like what you see?
You can get off the path right now, you can continue on, you can take some time to decide what to do.
At the end of it all, it is your life after all, measured by you.
But do know that there are different paths and one – or more – of them could lead you to your fulfillment and illimitable happiness.
And you could make the choice now, or never.
And that is okay. Really, that is okay.
As Rhonda Byrne says, may the joy be with you.
