Others- Dreaming of potential

It's one of those feelings that simply happens, suddenly sending you into a state of open-eyed dreaming, flowing through the strands of what is and what could be.....

For me today was the Potential...........the great things that can happen....the transformation for you and for those around you.....the flow of emotions, expectations......the immense joy of feeling you get when you have achieved your goals.

Most people do not really understand the feeling of true success, as most people never had the chance to truly work in a team where everyone was moved by the same things.
And by "true success" I understand not your personal success or glory, but of those around you.
Last year I realized, after watching Gandhi, that for me (as strange as it is if I think about my past) success is not really about "me" as it is about "them".

Zig Ziglar said that "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

My ideal feeling of absolute success?

At the end of it all, when everyone is celebrating, laughing and crying, jumping and dancing, you are on the side, looking at them with a slight smile on your face..................
....................you know you have made it happen, you know more about each of them than they know about themselves, you know how hard it really was to pass through everything..............................
...................not because you are better than them, but because you channeled the right energies to the right people, guiding everything and everyone to achieve their best.......................................
..................still smiling, you take a sip from your drink, take your coat and head for the exit.

It was fabulous, incredibly hard and in a strange way enjoyable.......it was their best.

..........................looking back one more time, you realize you do not need the glory, the praises, the position, the name or the fame.
At the end of it all, you just need to know that you helped do it.

And you have to do it again tomorrow.

To end my philosophical moment today, I will leave you with a few lines from our greatest poet, Mihai Eminescu, who's poetry only recently began to truly make sense to me:

Vreme trece, vreme vine,
Toate-s vechi şi nouă toate;
Ce e rău şi ce e bine
Tu te-ntreabă şi socoate;
Nu spera şi nu ai teamă,
Ce e val ca valul trece;
De te-ndeamnă, de te cheamă,
Tu rămâi la toate rece.
