chosen

1 if you are reading this

Dedicated to all those waiting for someone or some organisation to say, “You’re the one we want.”

The most important choosing has already happened.

We’re here: the universe has made this possible: now what are we going to do?

Rather than waiting for someone to choose us we get to choose ourselves.

Then we get to be choosers of others.

We can choose to be curious about and enjoy that thing we do, and questioning how we might use these.

We can choose not to do things too – this is also important when it helps us identify what we do want to choose – as Steve Jobs witnesses:

“You have to pick carefully.  I’m
actually as proud of the things we
haven’t done as the things I have
done.  Innovation is saying no
to a 1,000 things.”*

Being chosen is about consciousness: being more present to already being chosen.

(*Quoted by Nassim Taleb in Antifragile.)
