thinking about: how my "who" relates to my "where"
Thanks, Bee for the thought... that's exactly what was on my mind last couple of days... or weeks?Two basic things are going through my mind:
1. does my "where" reflect my "who" fast enough?
I am balancing quite a few roles in my life at the moment. Each of them is actually bounded to a location on this planet. None of these locations are actually the same. It's fascinating to decide about your locations ;)
I am a wife, so I should be in Medellin, Colombia.
I am a daughter, so I should be in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia.
I am a student, so I should be in Bratislava, Slovakia.
I am a friend, so I should be in Slovakia, Switzerland, Colombia, India, Thailand, United States, France, the Netherlands and many other places around the world.
I am a WENA Board Member, so I should be somewhere in WENA ;)
I am the EuroCo Conference Manager, so I should be in Struga, Republic of Macedonia.
I am the WeGrow Conference Manager, so I should be in Albufeira, Portugal.
where am I?
Travelling all around the place ;)
Constantly changing my location and allocating my time to all my roles. I am trying to be everything at the same time. And the priorities are shifting all the time. Suddenly, I noticed that my physical body is about 3 days behind my role as I always need to be thinking in advance to be able to plan my priorities, actions and decide on my next location.
Yey, I am enjoying my life! Here, now.
2. how strongly is my "who" influenced by my "where"?
If I change the location, how strongly does that location-bounded role become dominant?
It's easier to play a role in a matching environment. But what if I suddenly need to be someone else in that environment? Can I fullfil that other role in an excellent manner as well?
It was tough to be a loving & supporting daughter in the Republic of Macedonia.
It's equally tough to be an excellent WeGrow Conference Manger in Banska Bystrica.
And, it is extremly tough to be a caring & sexy wife anywhere except of Colombia.
But it's feasible. You just need to find the right tools to "deliver on your duties" ;) Thank God for internet, skype, msn, mobile phones and fast transport ways. These hold my world together.
Yey, I am enjoying my life! Here, now.
