Create your destiny
Author: Patrizio Paoletti
Destiny is not something pre-packaged, a “gift package” with which we are born: a destiny is created.
In this book Patrizio Paoletti focuses on the phases that preside over the creation of our personal destiny. The metaphor is that of cultivating a field: there are sei momentisix moments to keep well in mind.
First of all, you cannot start the job if you have not cleared up, eliminating the “stones” that would prevent the plow from carrying out its task. This is the moment to confront our deepest fears, recognizing and discarding them as factors that are not useful for the continuation of our work.
Then comes the moment of plowing: in this phase we must let ourselves be inspired by a model that represents our ideal Self, a man who, like Leonardo, really “squared the circle” by combining thought, emotion and instinct.
When the right furrows have been created in us, the moment of sowing arrives: a rapid and profound process that calls into question all our communication skills, external, but above all, with ourselves.
Once the seed has been deposited, it is necessary to nourish it, watering it with care:it is in this phase that it becomes particularly important to become aware of the roles and also of the masks that each of us is called in life to assume.
Having done all these things well, it’s time to pick up the fruit. And it is then that it is still important to remember to celebrate, so as to restart the whole process, so that the “engine” of our destiny can continue to run without ever stopping.
