-seed This question throws us Rovira Á lex in an interview he conducted in "La Vanguardia" on January 8, 2006:
"I have 36 years. I was born and live in Barcelona. I have a degree in Business Administration and MBA from ESADE, and I always say I'm psiconomista: it is the management of the soul. I am married to Monica and have three children, Laia (8), Pol (6) and Mariona (four months). Politics? Progressive. God? Or is it inside me or is in any place: it manifests itself in love "
- I have an internal compass?
- We all have our own: It's your ability and willingness to give meaning to your life! - How do you get that?
- your needle Magnetize yourself: Choose where you want to address!
- I do not know, there are so many options ...
- Victor Frankl, a psychologist who survived the Auschwitz camp, he learned there that those who gave meaning to their lives, resisted more! And then he asked his patients: "And you, why not suicide?".
- A tough question.
- Please answer: there beating your way. Then, dive headlong into it! Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who joined thousands of dying in his last moments, found that what most people said the death was "I should have risked more!".
- But it was too late.
- you imagine your last minute of life and ask yourself if you say "it was worth it, thank you."
- I have doubts.
- Then write a letter that begins: "Dear me: ...", and lists" I do not want ", then" what I want. " Then "what I do" to achieve it. Then he writes: "I undertake a. ..". Sign the letter and put it around well in sight!
- Well, now I just need to act.
- Do not say "I'll try." Say "I'll do it tomorrow" is to never. Do not put off anything. Action! Ya.
- But I have to make a living.
- What phrase so wicked! The life you have already won! Now, give it meaning. Or the last day you hear say, "Yes, I made my living ..., but I lived!".
- but change scares inertia.
- Ask yourself: "What would I do if I had no fear?". Fear is the dreaded happiness, after every fear is a wish. Stick to it!
- What if I am wrong in acting?
- It's frustrating complaining about not having acted to act and feel that you're wrong. But also, if you act and taste what happens, however painful it is, not wrong!: Live. The fear of losing we lost.
- I can also choose to continue as I am today.
- Yes, and nothing will change. Do you assume? Yes? Go ahead! Yes, ask yourself: "I do what I want to do?" Look, your job is this: find "your" work, you make sense! Oh, and keep in mind this: what you do not do it for you now ... No one else will ever!
- Rovira, does what you want?
- One day I sold everything to start from scratch, to start building. Personal fulfillment is not a gift: it is the result of an investment, effort, courage, dedication, courage ... In Dare to dare!
- What moved him to dare?
- Various things. One of them was that I had been writing down all the answers people gave me when he asked: "How are you?"
- And what were the most common?
- "Pull", "fighting" and "happening." That is, as a punishment without end! Other: "Fucking but happy", acceptance of discomfort. Some "I can not complain", resigned. And very few "Good" or "Very good."
- Does that mean we're screwed?
- means that what you believe, believe. Your attitude is the one who decides!
- What position are you?
- is not seeing the glass half empty or half full, is that I am filling the glass! I seek the water. Fill your glass, but you have to go get yourself to the source water!
- what if that source is far away?
- If you walk to it, within an hour will be closer! If that is the snail climbs a cherry tree in January, and the grasshopper asks, "Where are you going?" "To eat cherries!" Says the snail. "But ... if there is not cherries!". "When I arrived, The will! "Said the snail, ha, ha, ha. That's the attitude, yes sir!
- Confidence?
- Yes, trust our actions. Seligman has shown that those who live in this way more self-generated health, longevity and wealth ...!
- More than you think, "Oh, everything is shit and has nothing to fix" .
- You're right: for him, it will be! Life is what you do it.
- Hey, we often drag.
- The wind blows, the ocean waves ... But you can always move your sails! A friend told me: "Next week I can not get sick, I have the agenda to stop."
- Sounds.
- what evil. Take a chance to change something, move your sails! You decide if you effect or are due. People who say they are usually satisfied attitudes which are most active.
- give me a last tip.
- One day, when my daughter was five, I saw her standing, crouching with his head between his legs. "Look, Dad, is beautiful!". Flipped it, but I saw what he meant. And he said: "The sky hung giant trees and the ground is blue with clouds, and you can fly!". Then I felt dissolve plunged into a limitless and eternal beauty.
- Yes? What happened?
- it changed my perception, my vision of everything. It changed my life: I learned to take nothing for granted, of course. And I realized that everything, everything!, You can see it differently.
