There’s a lot to be said for people who make things happen for themselves.
The
‘get shit done’ kind of people.
I don’t know where it comes from, and I
don’t think it's necessarily a learnt art, but there’s something about someone
who has the fortitude to go out and do, or turn up and be, or buckle down and
make, that truly keeps the world going round in a very literal manner of
speaking.
Some are born into unjust circumstances,
and pushing boundaries is built into their blood. Some come through trial or challenge or
tumult and emerge resolved to do more, and be more, and make more than they ever
did before. Some come from a long line of do-ers and makers and movers and
shakers, and it’s in their very DNA.
I have a lot of respect for these people.
And I often wonder – could I be one of them?
Not a learnt art, no, but a lived one. By
my very living could I become a person who makes things happen for themselves.
Everyone faces injustice, everyone experiences challenge, everyone can find a
predecessor of the mover and shaker variety. I can build into my own blood,
resolve in my own way, trigger my own DNA.
Could I not?
