The "how to"... an obsession

December 16, 2021 Fateme Banishoeib

We long to be given the next step and the route to the horizon, allaying our anxiety with the illusion of a destination somewhere beyond the vista of our present life. Maria Popova

Let’s reflect on the "HOW TO" endless list of blogs, books, advices... What if instead of an "HOW TO for Dummies" we needed a letter from the inside?

What is this inside? Emotions, shared struggles, fears, and triumphs... all the messiness that does not comply to the "HOW TO" that makes us feel "unsuccessful"; the fabric, the raw material of the inside.

What if, what we need to navigate the tumultuous terrain of life (and work) to live wholeheartedly is right there in the inside? What if there was no recipe nor tools to get there? But, just the practice of being and becoming? Being in listening with empathy and through inquiry to bring in the light that that moves inside us and shows us a (unique) way of feeling, sensing, thinking ... the fabric, the raw material of the inside.

Poetry & painting have been my own practice to reconnect with my inside, a vista on my present bridging with the world (inside and outside). Such artistic vistas have expanded my awareness and capacity to engage in (with) the human condition. They showed me the dignity (which I have to be reminded often), deep respect and, concern for the mystery of living beings.

Next time you look for an HOW TO advice on please consider instead writing a poem!

Maybe, that future of business, that "new normal", that dream and desire for a "new beginning" are not fulfilled by an "HOW TO" recipe to be executed but through the devotion and commitment to the practice of remembering our humanity and re-imagining it through art (through the hearts).

What do you think? Let me know... and please let your inside talk!


For the courageous one a letter from the inside
