Being stuck in big FMCG corporation, between acting in the theater of chasing other’s goals and fighting to prove myself and the others that I’m a good material to become a reputable manager (it’s not about the title, stress word is on behavior) …

Over the past period while thinking how to serve my vanity of reaching set goal from the very beginning of my carrier as multinational “player” I was sucked and stuck in the corporate world totally closed, blind, isolated and fully unaware of outer space of possibilities that were waiting to be discovered or in my case fast-evolving by space jumping through the wormhole voyage to get me to the impossible — to the D-era (Digital era) Galaxy.

Namely, few months ago as very devoted and passionate employee (as the corporation sees me) I was assigned to lead a MaI (Mission almost Impossible) project which as end result has to deploy someone’s (for the sake of doing it ) business idea by threatening well proven operational models not diving too much into details, heavily neglecting consequences and what to do after approach.

Before the “epic project” go live, I had to establish the two-person Team. I was searching for the appropriate candidate for handling the „analog“ duties when suddenly “Rocket” showed up. Coming from a small local startup, at that moment “Rocket” seemed like a person with the perfect background for the upcoming project.

Instantly I’ve decided not to take a “digital” person for “analog” matters, leaning on the possibility to hire “Rocket” for the MaI project, when the time comes. During that time I’ve put company priorities before personal and yet I did not want to cut the line for the new person to join to corporate Team. The final call was to recommend “Rocket” to the head of the other department as a perfect match, in my humble opinion. Luckily, “Rocket” hasn’t been recognized at the moment as the right person for that role which would be a major f… up (speaking from current point of view) where my voyage through horizons of D-era Galaxy wouldn’t be triggered yet or would be trapped for another decade of “not aware of my unconsciousness” state of mind.

Only a few weeks after, MaI project came alive and without any doubt, I immediately knew who is the perfect persona to ride & restrain the Mustang. Serving personal necessity and belief that I’ve made the right decision. I thought I’m that people opportunity provider who would give a chance to the “Rocket” to grow in a global corporation. In a million light-years I would not guess that “Rocket moment” will neatly impact me to start freaking’ thinking how to utilize the D-era momentum.

Still not sure who triggered that behavior, when and how the trainee became a master by cracking delusional thinking and shifting my thoughts & inner creativity (to be proven yet) out of nutshell by discovering the whole new perspective of outer space.

To be very clear on the aforementioned statement that all my digital knowledge and understanding of the matter was related to the following illustration with all visible features.

Is that some kind of higher force, or it has been written in the starts, “Rocket” has been sent to transfer the ideology which resulted by finding myself in a new situation with different thoughts. In a blink of an eye, I was thinking for the first time to start to write (this very pioneer article) something for myself or to whom it may concern. At the moment, I’m in a proactive cycle of learning and discovering Digital possibilities, were writing this article representing the first steps of doing it.

As far as you already realized, for me, it’s very clear that destiny somehow opened the cards positively for the new poker game, after a while. I believe the dealer gave a good card for both (“Rocket & Me), although my cards have a double chance to win the hand.

The action was taken …

I was starting to think about how to take a ride along with all the ongoing things in my life. The holistic approach seemed to be the right strategic move of the total mind shift from analog to the digital world. Like once was said by one of the greatest heroes of my childhood:

Essentially, it’s all about adapting…

So simple, yet damn hard to go to the other side… in this case, not the dark one :). Failure’s not an option or it is … The bitter taste of failure is not so pleasant unless you are open-minded to learn something out of it.

It’s totally OK to try something new without having a clue what the outcome will be, either positive or negative as long as you are ready to use the experience and knowledge that you will go through.

It is a fact that the only thing in the world cannot be learned from others, the experience is. You can read, watch and listen to others but in the end, you need to feel it and taste it on your own skin no matter what taste is, bitter or sweet. Bottom line, each experience might be beneficial in both cases. You should not be afraid of making mistakes as long as you ready to make the best out of them.

Boldly go where many men have gone before

Lately, I’ve been consuming a lot of new information trying to satisfy my hunger…. learning, reading, exploring still not too much asking but I will for sure. Now, I’m in the middle of panic mode cause I have to digest too many things at once…. Maybe it’s wrong pushing myself too hard, but I started from here, by writing this article to summarize everything at the very beginning, to capture and share my thoughts with you.

Feeling excited, thinking about what’s next makes me simply satisfied with my self, being overwhelmed with the entire Digital galaxy of possibilities that are waiting to be discovered ….

Currently going on impulse and waiting for my warp speed to master as many possible corners of Digital knowledge, to be insanely courage to continue with this level of curiosity, not fully structured yet but with a strong belief that it will appear over time.

What a piece of work is that?

I believe that all human beings have the ability to evolve in something bigger than themselves. The difference is that small number of people who are willing to embrace the change, have the courage to move out from their comfort zone to challenge the “status quo” by seeking and discovering the better outcome of the current situation no matter does it come from personal or professional life. In my case that would be a bit of both, to try to find a balance between those two, to have more quality time with my family on one side but on the other to have financial stability at a needed level.

I would say that few key factors (@ least in my case) are recognized as game-changer such as: to embrace the change, to be open for learning new skills, to chase own dreams or ideas and have enough courage and wisdom to combine and execute that in practice.

Being “broke” intellectually /mentally is much worse than just being broke. With the first one, you are destined to be in captivity of your own thoughts (defiance of courage) by reaching the bottom of the abyss in no time. The second one is just a reflection of the present situation. — written by MDF

Try to find your “Rocket” no matter where and in what shape does it come… outer space, parallel universe, person or just a written word that will catch your attention and ignite your desire to chase things that you believe in.

Be brave, make a decision that you really believe in and in the end do everything that it takes to make your decision right.

Many “Rockets” over the two decades passed by, but this ONE seemed to come at the right moment !!!
