It’s not the first time that I’m mentioning the Metaverse in this newsletter. This digital world that inspired famous sci-fi novels almost 30 years ago is becoming a real phenomenon led by Marc Zuckerberg. Feel free to check out his recent announcement at the Facebook Connect Keynote in October 2021 to see what I’m talking about. The word ‘’Meta’’ is literally taking over the world. As a proof, we might even end up calling the era in which we live now: Metamodernism. An era still in construction, coming after a period where everything was possible: Modernism, until everything started to really suck: Postmodernism. I found it fascinating to see how the era in which we live in is slowly being depicted and how its foundations are getting built. If you read about Metamodernism you’ll probably get a surprising understanding of why we do what we do and why we aim what we aim for the future. If you are interested in learning more about it, Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s article is a good starting point. A good way to get some perspective on the past to better understand the present and anticipate the future.
‘’You can get a million small things wrong, but as long as you get one meaningful thing right, you’ll be okay.’’ Those words feel so true to me. But, why do we so often have the feeling that we need to do more when we can do better? Why can’t we stick to one single thing even when it feels like it’s the right thing to do? Maybe a combination of internal resistance, reactance, unrealistic expectations, finding excuses, fear to fail, lack of persistence, risk perception, stress management or perfectionism. In any case, what you need to remind yourself first is to commit to one thing. Yes, our mind is good at making it hard for us to focus on one thing, but the truth is that it’s the only thing our brain is really able to do anyway! From tasks, projects, missions to visions, committing to one thing is the only way to move forward efficiently. Don’t let those parasite thoughts stop you from taking the obvious/meaningful commitment, do yourself a favor.
