THE HUMPTY DUMPTY SYNDROME:
How many times have you heard someone say, “Losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me”? Does hearing this sentiment make you scratch your head in puzzlement? How could something so negative be so positive? What’s the person’s secret? Few of us begin our careers with the intent of doing something else. After all, we’ve invested quite a bit of time and money getting to where we are. We spend thousands of dollars and several years of our lives in pursuit of our degrees. We then invest even more time going after postgraduate degrees. An attorney, for example, spends a total of nineteen years in the pursuit of a law degree and then has to pass an extremely difficult exam, one which many fail on their first attempt. Doctors spend even more time in school and then devote even more years to internship and residency programs. Sadly, many of these dedicated professionals then find out they are not happy in their chosen work. Much like Humpty Dumpty, we proudly sit atop our wall of achievements and accomplishments, giving little thought to doing anything else. “After all, I worked hard to get where I am and I’m proud of it. I’m good at what I do and people respect me. You can’t expect me to want to give all this up, can you?” These are the words you hear from your logical, rational mind (or friends and family) whenever you even think about making a career change. Unfortunately, your true self, that part of you who knows what’s in your best interest, is often scream i n g for a change, nagging away at your thoughts until you begin to listen. Even if you’re content in your present job, with today’s changing workplace and the uncertainty in the corporate world, it’s likely that sooner or later in your working life, you will find yourself, much like our friend Humpty, tumbling from the security of your little perch. For most of us the great fall occurs when one or more of the following occurs: • Our job is eliminated through downsizing. • Our company is acquired or merges with another company and the new situation no longer appeals to us. • Our job stays the same but we just can’t get excited about it anymore. So, after the great fall what are the secrets to putting yourself back together again — better and happier than ever?

A Nearby Experience. Content Warning.
Stars shimmered splendidly in a moonless sky, reflecting in the quiet waters of Lake George in the Adirondack heaps of upstate New York. It was a warm August evening, as we laid back in the boat, wondering about the sublime Smooth Way. Dim skies made the stars more splendid during this season, particularly during another moon, inspiring awe and charm. We never burnt out on stargazing while at the same time drifting on water, a genuinely vivid encounter.

Back to your True Identity
Stories can be keys that unlock our broken hearts and invite and inspire us to trust and love again. I was born in Argentina. I grew up during the military dictatorship in a country where chaos and uncertainty were usual.
