I fully believe in this, nobody is going to push to achieve
what’s best for you more than you.
This doesn’t become truer than when you discuss what you
want with others and they fail to follow through with what you know is best for
you.
I’m referring to my last move to an agency that I thought
held the same values as I did.
To be honest I knew the role wasn’t right from the get go
but felt I could make it my own and that the opportunities raw materials were
there to do so successfully. As the Pareto principle states, you only need 20%
of the raw materials to get 80% of the effects. It became apparent over time
the 20% wasn’t up for grabs.
The thing is and the advice you usually receive when you do
realise the role, place and everything else isn’t what you thought it was going
to be, or what you could make it is to just play the game and continue to get
on with it. I mean lets be honest that is a lot of peoples game plan.
Life is short though, at the end of the day having a frank
discussion with a few people gives you the answer you need and you just have to
ask yourself, can I get what I wanted, produce what I know I can or get even
close to the reason that I moved here.
I’m disappointed it didn’t work out, like any other kind of
relationship, but shit happens. Thankfully I do like putting myself into
situations that I feel uncomfortable in, as that’s how you inoculate yourself
to making mistakes when you’re afraid. The only annoying thing is, when you are
inoculated, dealt with the problem in question and the situation hasn’t
continued to improve and evolve. You are fighting the same disease over and
over again in slightly different guises.
So I have been inoculated to a variety of different things,
most of which were very similar to each other. I don’t make the same mistake
twice, so let’s go and make some cool stuff happen.
It’s not about what you’ve done
It’s about what you’re doing
It’s all about where you going
No matter where you’ve been
Let’s go!
