As life finds me in this point in time, I can look back on the 30 some years that have passed, without wishing that I’d done too many things differently. I can even claim to have fulfilled quite a few of my previous dreams alredy.
I was born in Bulgaria, where I grew up until the 8th grade, when my family moved to the U.S. I had a most genuine american teenage life, even some college after that … I started a business with some friends (organizing small-scale music events). However, as mos first-time entrepreneural events do — this one failed, unfortunately leaving me pretty unsure of myself. As drastic times require, my drastic measure was to continue my higher education… in bulgaria.
Much could be said about all of that — but to cut the long story short: Information Percolation is no original concept. It’s simply my own articulation of eternal principles, too ephemeral to ever fall into the ‘natural law’ category, but yet proven to work numerous times.
It’s about the reality of the matter — that life is short; and in that short life we can either try to make the most (regarding our best interests) out of the information that is out there, or we can regard it as a definitive force (which it is) firmly outside our influence.
I managed to procure myself an education, the likes of which are believed to be available primarily through higher learning institutions, and enormous budgets? (I have neither of those) It was through sheer determination in combination with the vastly available information.
The true gem I’d like to share here was the experience of realizing the wide range of alternative choices I actually had at my disposal, as far as my fate is concerned. My future — up to me: wow!
Meanwhile, I’ve come into the saddening observation that the majority of the people actually do not allow themselves to acknoledge such many different possibilities being available. Whether it’s lack of proper information or one of several other factors which psychologists would get paid a lot to discuss, most simply prefer to go on nagging and complaining about choices not being there, when in reality — there’s too many of them, out there.
The breaking point of their liberation, alas, lies within the first and hardest choice of them all — the one we must make within ourselves. It is really sad, but self-negligence now remains the only realistic obstacle to actually moving through your dreams like a star quarterback.
Before I continue into oblivion with these elated ponderings, allow me to gracefully leave some subject matter for later, and in the meantive request a favor of you — get back at me! If any of what you’ve just read struck an unfamiliar note of emotional nature — let me know (I’ll be as discreet as ever, if I have to).
