There is something about a cloth office cube in a sea of cloth office cubes that unleashes the "what would I change about this situation if I could" in all of us.
Sometimes it is the confounding and confining moments in our career that unleashes the most creative ideas and makes us put our foot down and shout, enough.
Desperation is highly underrated.
Can something good come out of desperation?Let's look at the upside of desperation and look at it as a catalyst for change.
Desperation is not usually viewed as a positive thing, but let's change that old paradigm for just a second.
Let's be mavericks, shall we?Desperation is no longer panicky, wild-eyed and sweaty.
It is adrenaline, motivating and power.
You are desperate and you love it.
Desperation bridled can produce amazing results.
Make the shift to the new desperation.
Make it work for you.
What would happen if you closed your eyes and said, "I am desperate, and because I am desperate I am ready to do something really fabulous with my life.
If I could not fail I would..
..
"How would you finish that sentence?What would you do?What have you dreamed about, but abandoned for a more sensible alternative?What have you dreamed about, but allowed someone else to kill your dream?What have you dreamed about, but let in slip away and replaced by meetings, dull projects and suppressed innovation.
What is stopping you from being fabulous?What limiting story is playing repeatedly in your head?What confining lie are you telling yourself that is a left over from a damaging relationship, a bad boss, an unauthentic friend, or a bad experience that has convinced you that you can't?One thing that I know is that a story and can be rewritten with a different ending.
You heard me.
Imagine that.
Stop for a moment and let that play repeatedly in your head.
You can rewrite an ending or write a completely new story that can change your life in fantastic ways.
All fabulous things start out as a lone thought.
The beauty of the pursuit of fabulous (let's make a new word)...
the beauty of the pursuit of 'fabulousity' is that there are people who are routing for you to find it.
They understand your desperation and want to see you work it!There are people out there that want to see you succeed just as much as you do.
They see the passion of your talented core in your eyes.
Some times, they can see if before you can.
They see the tide of your talent rising and encourage you to dream, plan and make it real.
They see your dream and not their dream for you.
I am not saying to be reckless, I am saying be creative, be daring, but above all else be the new desperate.
Be desperate to be fabulous.
Finish this sentence, "I am desperate, and because I am desperate I am ready to do something really fabulous with my life.
If I could not fail I would..
..
"What would you do?If there were no limits, no rules and money was no object.
What would you do?Dare to write a new story, add in characters that will edify your life and go.
Work it.
It may be the beginning of a new you.
