A Storiesque form free-flow

By Dickson Flacc

“The truth is? I got the job!” He exclaimed proudly to his dearest mum.

“Well, I knew it! I knew it! I knew you could do it! You’re absolutely capable of that type of work you know…” She trailed. “But how do you know that you got it?”

“They told me, mum. I held the interview with the President, right there in his office, and the man simply told me I was hired on the spot… Hank Jeffries was his name, I think?”

“You think?” Her eagerness to explode on him was vividly apparent.

“Yes mother. He, THE PRESIDENT of the company told me on the spot! I got the job!”

“Well, good, but what will you be doing, exactly?” She grimaced.

“I guess, whatever they pay me for, you know? The job title was fairly specific. Anyway, mum I won’t have to be lifting logs anymore or digging ditches.”

“Oh, well that’s good.” Mother leant over, grumbling to sit down on the nearby park bench.

“So, yes.” She continued. “They pay; don’t they?” Her sensible, yet snide remarks were beginning to loft to him a familiar suggestion.

“Yes mum, of course, they pay.” He paused. “I wouldn’t be doing this type of thing otherwise, would I?” 

And it is here at this questioning from the lad, where we will begin our journey. There are a great many people out there who understand this overdone drama: The hype of finding the right job, or career; the submissions; the interview; the waiting to hear a response; the praise; etc., etc., and everything is balanced and framed in a certain way to elevate prospective candidate’s heart-rates; dreams; hopes and expectations—at least for a little while.  And then, the news of whether or not the right fit was found. Finally, whatever the outcome is? Either hired, or not: the final result provides the resolve that’s been desired upon the entire time.  Getting a new job, or position can be frightfully exhausting.

Inevitably, there is a finale such as this; where, in this case, the job was acquired. It is captivating for one to think of this desirable outcome—where, quite often, speeches and interviews are rehearsed and prepared for in eloquent fashion and, again the desirable outcome is not always a guarantee. But then, this secondary discussion arises In oneself due to another’s view, or, perspective. Their unique life-experiences, strategies, habits, etc., intertwine within and around the contexts of what just occurred. This is important to reflect on. However, here’s where it begins to trip:

It is not a vantage point, or, specific answer that another’s viewpoints of life can offer, as, their experience of life was their own unique experience of life, like we just stated. Think of it another way: it’s similarly, why an ex-smoker is incapable of offering a best-fit quitting strategy to a current smoker to help them to quit: Every person is unique. While processes and principles may continue to suggest that they work the same—due to the fact that the Universe is under the Law of Entropy (constant change), and, people accordingly, must alter, the process; and principles are never “exactly” the same. And so, for the most part, the individual believes there is a perceived “alternative” and, “more beneficial”  ulterior outcome. 

It’s like I’m being side-tracked a bit. A lot is going on at the moment, ok, back on track, but the purpose of this article is to describe the use of a “breakthrough-mindset” in order to have an impact on an individual generating from this type of mindset.  “Breakthroughs,” A.K.A. “RESULTS” are what is gotten from the greatest teacher, her majesty: LIFE, herself. A breakthrough is just another way of saying what we got out of LIFE, out of a new day, moment, previous time, etc., it is essentially like a puzzle piece that needs to be described and oriented for others to be able to extrapolate relevant meaning from. LET’s do a brief exercise. For instance: A Situation.

 PARENT: “Oh, so you dropped your computer today and it broke all over the floor? Great. Now what?”

NORMAL (there is nothing normal about life) response: “Yes. I don’t know what to do now. All of my papers were on it.”

BREAKTHROUGH response: “Yes. I did. And I got that I don’t need one because I walked over to the library and borrowed one of their computers and got all of my work done through their internet connection. I got that I am capable regardless of having my own working computer or not.”

Both are perfectly acceptable, however, one is identifiably a bit more pro-active and independently productive. As a parent, it might also appear as more desireable because it promotes and enhances an individual’s understood capabilities.

This article is further still: outside of the initial desired conversation regarding “Results-Oriented” thinkers, because, remember? When it was mentioned that the mother asked her son if it was a “paid” position, there are a number of other questions that could continue from this conversation like: “how much does it pay?” “How long is the commitment?” “Is it a salaried position, or is it wages?” So on and so forth. Then, let’s arrange a more vivid picture. For a moment, consider that the young man is lying about the entire job hiring entirely. For him, he believes that by telling his mother a lie, it will relieve the placement of the burdensome stick in her mud: my son is in danger.  The real issue is that the young man is unable to provide himself with any reliable result that produces a modicum of safety and security towards the betterment of his life and his future, and, therefore his mother worries ambitiously. And so the young man lies in order to relieve the burden.

But within the context of the initial conversation we don’t know this is going on and for the most part, relief is felt all around. “The prettier the picture painted? The better off I will be…I can finally go off and do what I want with my life.” The man thinks to himself. And, as far as judgement goes here? For a certain type of powerful reason: peace of mind; the young man has developed a strategy he believes will help foster and improve his own future as he knows that his own mother lives within a certain realm of what he considers as the realm of expectations. But expectations, or not, this is what the young man feels will immediately take her off the map of worry, anxiety, and fear. He is not yet familiar with BREAKTHROUGH technology, nor its usage, and so, he would rather use an easy excuse or a lie, to cover his bases.

So, folks! family! friends! Congratulations. Together we learned that results-oriented individuals live deeply within the contexts of expectation and that by generating a “white-lie,” one can avoid certain unwanted outcomes like worry and fear from a significant other, such as the young man did with his mother for our example’s sake.

But now, let’s dig even deeper into a 1st-person party world of results-oriented thinking. This is where the real “power” is for a human. This is where it generally matters. And it can be difficult to embody when the surrounding environment is not “on-board,” per-say, with the rest of whatever is, or, has-been occurring for an individual because that can be overpoweringly influential for some folks, as well. Parental expectations of their children, boss’s demands to reach sales quotas within a particular industry, brush-fires to the north devastating homes and countrysides, starving children in Africa, It’s apparent how this list could continue to expand itself: THERE IS A LOT GOING ON in the world! What is MOST valuable? MOST important for an individual? Is to be able to focus on the immediate task at hand. 

The world is filled with distractions and endless possibilities and it becomes even more excruciatingly (melodramatic) visible when the internet is at play. Without knowing the proper statement to type into a search-box or having the definite question to ask, there are virtually endless amounts of possible answers out there just waiting to be clicked on and read. Even still, the algorithms that are at play exist to populate our definite searches in spite of asking the intended question properly. 

This brings us to the end realization: our biggest challenge that we face as a growing society is the expansiveness of outcroppings designed to dissolve our attention away from our intention or desired goal. The question must further be pursued upon: what is the power being glossed over when it comes to our concentration and focus. Just about anyone who is asked can discover a good reason to have reliable concentration and focus. Coming to terms with where one is now and what they are doing currently is what will make the difference towards discovering the desired result.

Now, there has been a lot of ranting going on, and folks have been terrific with their compassion and tolerance for discovering a breakthrough for themselves and their own lives along this journey. Remember: We MUST protect our ATTENTION. Clear it up first. Get it straight. Cobwebs? Gone. Dust-bunny’s? Executed. It is up to the individual alone. I certainly could not, and never-mind, would not, do it for you. It is up to YOU and YOU alone.

Cheers,

Dick
