WHAT ABOUT ME?
Micael
time gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Recently, one of my best friends (the one above) received an offer to move to London —his dream city —with a dream job. He hadeen living in Madrid for years and was genuinely happy there, but London had always held a special place in his heart.
Just days after receiving the news, he stumbled upon a forgotten text he had written over a year ago on his way back from a trip to London. In it, he wondered when he would be able to move there and what the future held for him. He vividly described his dream life in London, imagining his daily routine with remarkable clarity.
We had forgotten about that text. It wasn't something he relentlessly pursued every day; instead, it was a dream he quietly nurtured, hoping it would eventually come true.
At the same time, as the year is finishing, I decided to tidy up my personal email and found an old draft filled with the names of leaders from my company, LinkedIn contacts, HR managers I planned to approach, and people I hoped would recommend me. This draft was over two years old, and I had completely forgotten about it as well. Now, it's been almost six months since I started working at this company - once my dream job, which had seemed so unattainable.
Just like my friend, it wasn't like I focused 100% on this goal during those two years. When a job posting appeared, I'd apply, I'd keep an eye on the company's developments, all while living my life and seeking the next big opportunity.
Reflecting on this, my friend and I realized how beautiful it is to think that invisible strings were tying us to our futures all along. We both had visualized and worked towards our dreams, but without ever feeling desperate about it.
"Trust the process" is a phrase easier said than done, but I invite you all to consider how many of the things you are living now were once dreams of your past self. It's beautiful to think that the future you deserve is already making its way to you. You just have to keep moving forward.
Do your part and let the universe handle the rest.
This message is brief, but I hope it resonates with you. And Bruno, good luck on this new phase, you deserve the world.
With love,
Micael.
