Bridge by definition is what we use to cross or to connect from where we are to where we want to be. In the tangible world, it is easy to know where we are since we have the physical map either on paper or in our mind. Our sight is clear since it is right in front of our eyes.
For intangible, it starts to be a little difficult. We choose to believe as where we are and we usually are comfortable with the status and the current position. We choose to believe that where we are is the best place in our comfort mind. Change becomes needed when we are not comfortable about where we are. We start to look for the place that we will feel more comfortable. But to get there is not easy. We need to create a bridge to cross. In order to build bridge right we must know clearly where we are and where we want to be and why we want to get there.
We can use our mirror to check where we are and why we are not comfortable with the current place as well as where we want to be and why we want to be there, and whether it is good to be there. Will we be comfortable and love to be there? Will we enjoy it there? We have to be honest about where we are now with reasons why we do not want to be at the same place. We have to be honest as well where we want to be and question it whether it is really what we want, what would be the consequence of being there or to get there. We have to imagine whether we can live with the consequence that will happen as the result of taking action to be in the place we want to be.
Our mirror image is what we want to be seen physically and emotionally. When we watch advertisement which is sharply and successfully targeted to us, we feel that it talks to us. We feel that we can put ourselves in there. When we watch our favorite series, the drama carries something that we want to express. It is all the value that carries in us. If we feel that we like it whatever the image we see in the mirror, it is fine. But once that image is not comfortable for us; we might feel guilty of something; we might feel uncomfortable of something; we might feel it is not right, maybe it is the time to change.
It is worthwhile to jot it down what we like and what we don’t like and then find out what we would like to be. After that we can build a bridge a strong bridge to get there. The bridge is useless if we don’t use and we don’t cross. The bridge is also dangerous if we don’t build it strong enough. The bridge could be wrongly built in size, in materials and not strong enough to hold our wills.
Be clear with the destination, be clear with the starting point, be clear what is needed to build a bridge so that it is really clear for what is wanted.
