Transilience

Transiliance is defined as a leap, this Blog is about that leap being a change from one significance to another. Change in life, change in career, change in the world; but not as reactionary, but instead anticipatory - planned - managed

Perfect Slogan

Let's give them the title. No one in history and in my opinion no one in the future will come up a more perfect summation of mantra, slogan, rally call, or just plain self directive.

Three monosyllable words, not needing and precursor or set up, and concludes in an unstated demand that perfectly implies a period, in the purity of a period being the finality of the statement and that nothing more needs to be said nor could be said in clarification.

A three beat verbal assault, pounding every reason for not taking action into a dust cloud of fading self doubt.

A grammatical fragment in the perfect generalizations of verb and pronoun to apply universally for every speaker and target. It's done, no competition even comes close. Time and time this slogan serves a purpose to those that use it and it has transcended beyond a marketing tool to sell products, to become the perfect sell motivator.

All those wishing to accomplish, itching to lead, willing to push for change should daily, nay...constantly recite its proclamation and purposely follow it's direction.

Just Do It.

Being Told "You Can't"

Formulas for change are almost as prolific as opinions: and you know what they say about opinions. For an individual or group, guidelines can serve a valuable purpose to avoid sins of the past and help set the next milestones for change you haven't made before. But be careful and skeptical when someone says you can't achieve some change or goal because of your situation, conditions or environment. No one has the same parameters to work with in making a change, ultimately you are solitary, the complexities different and the time in which you perform the transformation is unique.

History teaches us many things and proves time and time again that those that ignore history are destined to repeat it [usually in a bad way]. Almost as if you need to do it again, until you get it right. History also teaches us that those that are told they can't; if fact CAN. The only one that can tell you, "you can't" and be right, is yourself.

If anyone tells you "you can't", recognize that the 'can't' is only a lesson they may have learned on a particular way to make a similar change. Find the lesson and learn from it. Do Not take it as a directive. Take it as a suggestion that you may need to find a better way, but with better knowledge you can, just not the same way someone else did.
