Who am I? I am a creation…a creation of bones and skin, of different cells combined…the result of generations of people who loved each other: my parents, my grandparents, my grand-grand parents, my ancestors…On one hand, on the other hand is my soul living in this body…energy from the universal energy, the boom which is making me moving, thinking and feeling…especially feeling. The soul is this miracle giving us existence in a certain form. To all this it is added layers after layers: experiences. The experiences of my life, the places where I grew up, the places I was passing by, the people I was meeting until I understand something, the transformation, the passing, the trans-passing, the evolution. I am an explorer of the life. I explore in order to understand using this amazing capacity that only us, the human beings have: the conscience. From time to time I receive a gift, the opportunity of sharing all these with the others, to offer something from me, something of me to the ones willing to become as well explorers of what we call here on earth: life. Most of the times I receive gifts form the others, from all the others crossing my “road” in life, from the life. We are all receiving gifts from the life, some of us are aware about and we accept them, some are ignoring these gifts for a while…some for the whole life. [i]
My name is Dana and I am a person looking permanently to give sense to my existence. I have been always looking for a deep understanding of the human being with a passion for all the changes taken place inside us accordingly to the environment: family, friends, different events, socio-economic situation, weather change (why not, it is trendy), hormonal change, practically anything which can change something in ourselves. It seems that the biggest fear of the human being is the change itself. I could say we are allergic to change even if we are continuously changing, adapting, evolving from the first day of our life and this is making us stronger. The conscientious understanding of different things I will treat on this blog was not coming straight and easy. No, I was first going trough a lot of changes: from childhood to teenage, from teenage to maturity…from elementary school to high school and university, from university to my first job, from short time love affairs to the long relationships, then to marriage, to divorce, again short time love affairs and again different long time relations…from hating my parents to reconciliation with them, from fighting with my sister to a nice friendship… from Romania to Italy and from Italy to Luxembourg. Briefly I was working as an economist in sales and marketing strategy, as manager in an import-export company, as a warehouse manager and jumping over a lovely year in Italy for study as an innovation management consultant. But all these were not driving me towards the essence of my searching: human being, because after all economy is about people, we are selling to people, people are innovating, the economy / trade has emerged as a result of evolution and adaptation of human beings.
Two years ago I started a new path, a new expedition: coaching.
Reading what I wrote before, I clearly see that I managed to avoid saying who am I are by saying what I did. Classic! In fact when we meet a new person we do not ask "Who are you?" but "What are you doing in general, how you gain your life, what do you do in your free time, etc…"
Also, we have the tendency to ask others how we are, how we are perceived ... Our identity is often deeply linked to the way others see us. Thus we have at least three views about us: the way we are seen by the others, the way we would like to be and the way we actually are.
So again ... who I am or how I would like to be perceived by others? I'm an adaptable person with the sense of humor, I love life, I love people, I love new experiences. I am a person with vision, I find solutions where others see only problems, I like to be liked by others, to convince them with my ideas ... I am a conscientious and dedicated leader. I am someone who can give you an opinion, an idea, someone reliable in times of tribulation but also for having fun ... How am I in my inner forum? I am a person with pluses and minuses like mere mortals ... my views and opinions can sometimes become fixed ideas that can tease someone for a long time, my adaptability may become inconsistence, new experiences can become quickly boring ... Sometimes my conscientiousness and dedication could make me go off track and supporting an idea that was not good ... a person who had hidden thoughts. I am a reliable friend, getting involved in projects that I love and believe in, I am starting off with enthusiasm for a new idea, a trip, a book ... a new challenge. I'm afraid not to exaggerate, I am afraid of losing what I have built up to now, not to be misjudged. I detest racism, misogyny ... discrimination of any kind in general ... and the list goes on. How others see me? I'll let them say, those who know me to post their opinion ... and then I will ask you my new readers who may not know me in person.
[i] Up date from 4th of May 2011, after meeting a great person Oana Pellea (Romanian actrice) that I admire very much. Her presence inspired me in reading, hearing, feeling and understanding a few things.
