From the author: Motors and motors. Magic kickoffs and other driving forces - magical and not so magical. Reflections on the topic. Today, a friend excitedly announced a serious and responsible promotion, which turned out to be unexpected, at the same time inspiring and scary. And stories began to emerge in my memory one after another - my own, friends, acquaintances who were offered a promotion/new job/new project. When, seemingly “unexpectedly,” the wildest expectations come true, aspirations are fulfilled that you didn’t even really count on, or thought that it would take a long and difficult time to reach them, and it’s not a fact that you’ll get there. And this is always inspiring, because this is exactly what you really want. And it’s scary because you understand that your current knowledge and skills are clearly not enough. And that you will have to work more than usual (or differently), study, improve, and maybe risk something. It is not by chance that I put the word “unexpectedly” in quotes. As the wise say, there are no coincidences. This means that at this moment, patterns, albeit not always obvious ones, converge, including a credit of trust. Issued to those who believed in our strengths and capabilities more than us and noticed the existing potential. This credit of trust simultaneously inspires, inspires and imposes serious responsibility. Which is important and I really want to justify. All this together gives such powerful energy for a step forward! To new, unexplored, and very tempting lands. And immediately the strength for such a step appears, which seemed not to exist before. And resources appear. The brain and body work intensely, harmoniously, easily and cheerfully. Also, “by chance” there are people who can support, help with deeds or advice. The universe is spinning around you in an energy vortex that takes you to new horizons. But in fact, when talking about a “magic kick-start,” they most often mean something else - when life, personal or work troubles force a person to move forward simply because he can stay in place or moving back is no longer a single possibility. It turns out that there is no desire, but circumstances force it. But I would say that this is a “simple kick” when, with a blow of the foot, circumstances knock out a familiar and comfortable armchair or sofa from under the seat. And although this is unpleasant and painful, it can be useful, because here you will inevitably begin to move. This is exactly what the popular proverb says: “There would be no happiness, but misfortune would help.” There is another interpretation of the concept of “magic kickback” - this is one of the types of help from a “tyzhpsychologist” to those in need. This is real magic, which even the language cannot be called “ with a magic kick,” this is just this very credit of trust, multiplied by your own desire. Now let’s imagine that you will no longer expect a credit of trust from others, and will be able to give it to yourself. By doing this, you will discover new spaces for yourself despite your own fears and insecurities. Believe in yourself. Look for your desires that you want to follow. And once again, believe in yourself, at least a little more than you believed before! Like a person who looks at you from the outside and does not know about the snakes of doubt and fears tormenting you from the inside. As a person who sees potential in you and is ready to give you credit for future successes. And one more story on this topic: about a young artist who won an international exhibition.
