Singing my own song

I finally decided to start my own blog.

A lot in this blog will be about technology, mainly IT-related but not exclusively. And its impact on society. And reflecting what all this means for our personal and corporate values.

The title of my first post is inspired by an personal development course i recently followed. The course is titled “Leading by Being”, and over an 18-month period I was part of a group of 10, who discovered themselves.

In the end, it is all about discovering your true purpose in life. For myself, i discovered it is about “Inspiring other people to dream”.

I can do this in many different authentic ways: in my family, at work, with friends, in communities, on-line.

Wouldn’t it not be a shame if each of us has a song to sing in this world, and never gets to it because you are trapped in your current systems and thinking ?

That’s why I want – it’s more than wanting, it’s so compelling that I must do this -  to sing my own song.

Or as in a poem i wrote some years ago:

I want to be playful like the birds,

showing little tricks,

challenge and pursue

but not limited

by any form of danger

In essence, it’s about a free mind.
