The only constant in our lives is, in fact, a constant change.

There comes a time when you face a wall, when it seems there is no way out of the labyrinth. When you fall to your utmost, instead of sobbing and knocking yourself down to the exact moment of a complete failure and hopelessness, it is time to raise your head and reinvent yourself. Because not a single line of success is a straight line. And the only constant in our lives is, in fact, a constant change.

Life has been generous to me. I quitted jobs, I got fired twice, have experienced ups and downs, I have been losing and I have been gaining. People came, people left. With and without my help. Times of happiness, times of sorrow, drawn together and blended in perfect life circles. It took me many sleepless nights, anxiety, desperation before I realized that the only constant in life is, in fact, a constant change.

And if you wish to initiate the change, it is you who must change first. Not in a trivial, down-to-earth way, but in a noble and enlightening way, in a way to reinvent yourself, to reach the full potentials of your spiritual growth. The rest will follow.

Instead of pushing through the wall while posing that WHY with a question mark above your head, maybe it would do you better to start asking HOW. You are where you are. And you don’t feel good. However, you can’t change others or the environment you found yourself into. So, don’t ask why it had to be you, but ask how you can change.

“Don’t think you are, know you are”, says Morpheus in Matrix. Broaden your maps in brain, go deep into yourself, imagine everything in details, just the way you would like it to be. It doesn’t matter whether it is a house, a job you would like to have, or a spouse you would like to marry one day. Finish your dream. Just like a child. Reinvent yourself. Unfortunately or fortunately, no one determines your boundaries but you. Impossible thing are just projections of other people towards you.

So, when you face a wall, when it seems there is no way out of the labyrinth, when you feel desperate and hopeless, there is one thing that should make you happy. The fact that as long as you breathe, you can make a new start. And don’t you think that’s wonderful, what do you say?

Pre tačno godinu dana udarna vest u zabavnoj rubrici bio je austrijski radio voditelj Džo Kolhofer. Tog 21. decembra 2015. godine Džo se zabarikadirao u radijskom studiju austrijske stanice Antena Korintia, stolicom blokirao ulaz u studio svom kolegi ili bilo kom drugom ko bi pokušao da osujeti njegovu nameru i 24 puta zaredom pustio u program hit iz osamdesetih Wham „Last Christmas“, koji je na velika vrata muzičke i modne scene uveo kardigan rolke.

Razočaran sivilom i raspoloženjem ljudi koje je sretao na putu do posla i nazad, Džo je rešio da uzme stvar u svoje ruke i puštao bi on tu stvar do iznemoglosti da se u program nije javila njegova četvorogodišnja ćerka i rekla kako joj se pesma jednostavno ne sviđa.

Uticaj koji je Džo Kolhofer ostavio na slušaoce teško da je iko mogao da izmeri. Verovatno se time niko nije ni bavio. Bio je i ostao naslov u rubrici – zabava, i to prošlogodišnjoj.

Uprkos tome što je okićen za moj rođendan, već krajem oktobra, Beogradu pod naletom nemaštine, trke za novcem, ipak nedostaje to nešto. Neki duh, šta li. Nada i vera. Možda ljubav, univerzalna ljubav. Ah, da, nedostaje i sneg. Mada, sneg su najavili, pa se tu da popraviti nešto.

Uporno vrtim radio stanice nadajući se da ću do Nove godine čuti tu stvar. Mogu da je pustim preko jutjuba i više od 24 puta, ali nije podjednako zanimljivo.

Džo Kolhofer je za svoju tešku povredu radne discipline i zloupotrebu službenog položaja kažnjen tako što je primoran da radi i za Božić i za Novu godinu. Krivo mi je što nisam mogla da slušam taj praznični preludijum. Nadam se da je Džoova ćerka u međuvremenu zavolela „Last Christmas“. Nadam se i da je Džo ostao isti. Jer, ako jeste, njemu lampice svetle i u aprilu.
