companies house made easy

Trying to find yourself is a nonsense. I don’t believe anybody knows how they might react in a new situation or different environment. Our biological desire for social acceptance means we are all capable of becoming criminals, addict’s even extremists. 

There are a few, remarkable, individuals who are happy to stand apart from the crowd, who are not so easily influenced. They are the exception and believing that you are one of them is naive.

I like to think, like everybody else, that in an emergency situation I can step up to the mark. However, like everybody else, stepping up to the mark mostly comes from learned behaviour. 

Last week I went to a very busy park with my friend, her daughter and my son. As our children are young we were both at opposite sides of the park busy preventing visits to A&E. My friend looked away for a moment and when she looked up her daughter had disappeared. As it transpired the little minx thought it would be a funny game to hide from mummy.

Mummy spent an agonising, heart stopping, 10 minutes, frantically searching and calling out for her daughter. The reason I am telling you this is because nobody in the park offered to help her. (I was blissfully unaware any of this was happening). It was clear to everyone that she was experiencing the shear terror at the unimaginable, nightmare that someone could have taken her daughter but no one offered to help?

Later we both discussed how shocked we were that so many people could stand by and watch. Then I asked the question: “have you ever seen a parent looking for a child and offered to help?” I have and I was ashamed to realise that I did not offer to help. We both vowed at this point to always offer to help in a similar situation.

The point here is that everyday we are confronted with situations and what really counts is that we reflect on them and decide to take actions (hopefully the right ones). 

You don’t ever find yourself you invent yourself. You do not find business opportunities you make them happen. You shouldn’t have to search for something, you should be making it come to you.
