“The more a person lives in simplicity, the more he is receptive and open to try out new experiences. Those who complicate life will stay stiffen in what they know and in what they have already learned.”
This is an excerpt from the chapter “Intelligence” from the series of personal development books “Ecoute Ton Corps” by Lise Bourbeau in Quebec.
This excerpt will set the right tone to my new life chapter as I embark onto my first day off the professional highway.
Since 1996 and for over 10 years, my professional life has been on the fast track, with precise destinations, itineraries and agendas. A lot of kilometres, a lot of cities, a lot of faces, a lot of actions, and a relatively high profile. Good fun and good material gains too!
The professional highway comes to an end: I start treading on unpaved trails, no pre-defined destinations, with highly probable detours, an open agenda to greet surprises, and an open heart to discover new experiences! To learn! To be more flexible and receptive and to live closer to simple intelligence instead of tumultuous intellect!
Anguished and impatient? a bit. A lot of excitements for the unknown! Like plunging into a waterfall of no return!
