Most of you readers know I have many conversations with the anteater. He came into my life in 2009 with his wisdom (!) and never left. Here’s a recent conversation:
“I used to believe in I think, therefore I am“,
“Maybe I can give some autonomy to my body…”
“Huh. And we all know how that turned out!“
“I’m very tempted by Eckhart Tolle and the absence of thought…”
“Ulp!”
“I should probably tell you there’s never a happy ending in your life.”
“Just go quietly when it’s time to die.”
This was drawn some years ago…in the early confusion of a new role. It’s quite common when you’re in a situation like that, to not know what to do – the challenges are new and how should you be in the role is also unclear.
It’s ok to ask mentors and advisors but ultimately it’s you yourself who has to identify the goals, figure out the next steps and take decisions. Of course I know all this now…
Good thing I had the anteater to keep me grounded.
And in the end it’s nobody but you…
