‘I heard angels singing.’
That’s what he said.
‘I saw through it. I felt it. I knew.’
He is Oscar. A successful entrepreneur who brought together his dreams and experiences
from the past in a company where he helps other entrepreneurs get a rockstar start.
I heard him on the radio in the car, on a program about innovative entrepreneurship. He was talking about a long time ago.
His first Mac, the beginning of the internet, and the Hallelujah feeling
he got when he realized:
‘This is the birth of something big.’
I was hanging on his every word.
And I felt, I knew, I saw through it—he was right.
That this is one of those moments we all dream of,
and hope will come our way someday too.
That lightning bolt.
The moment of recognition.
Suddenly you realize what sets your fire alight.
It makes you unbelievably happy .
You can’t not do it.
You get that ‘I love this’ feeling.
And you know what you have to do.
Your purpose has found you.
That’s how it works. No other way.
You’ve always known it. But you lost sight of it again.
That’s how these things go.
Who were you again, before the world told you how and who you should be?
The prelude to the angels' chorus.
The fire flares up. Impossible to put out.
It drives you in the direction of who you once were.
In the direction of what you are here to do.
