Hibernation and Active State
To hibernate simply means to be inactive for some period of time due to certain factors.
In life, to succeed you must learn to hibernate; not just to hibernate but know when to. A fish never hibernates in the raining season - mud fish know the dry season is the right time to get deep into the mud to hibernate.
Whenever you generate a great idea you would like to execute, don't dash straight to its execution; get hibernated. At this time, even your friends might think you are unserious. But this is the time for you to strategize.
One of my mentors Mark Cuban illustrated one of this hibernation scenario ''...Nothing but the best as I prepared for my journey into entrepreneurial territory again. I could say I was preoccupied with how to get my new business off the ground, that while my friends got drunk, did stupid tourist tricks and ate at greasy spoons, I sat by the pool on the one chaise longue chair with rust on the clean side and wrote up my business plan. I didn’t. I got just as drunk and ate the same disgusting food. Then we faced the road-trip terror that everyone knows exists, but refuses to admit—the ride home. It wasn’t until we pulled up to the apartment that it hit me. No job. No money. No way to pay the bills. But I did have nice towels. Fortunately the hangover didn’t last too long, and I realized I had to get off my ass and make something happen. First day, first task: Come up with a name. This was the start of the microcomputer revolution, and I wanted a name that said what the company was going to do, which was sell personal computers and software and help companies and individuals install them. I was going to offer microcomputer solutions. So, after struggling with different names for about thirty minutes, I chose MicroSolutions, Inc.''
During this time, he had no job, no money! He went into hibernation and came out triumphantly.
Forget your worries for now. Get into hibernation to discover how to really jump the hurdle ahead of you. Ranting will not solve your problem, begging for help will not either, working or doing what you don't love will make things worse. Get hibernated, think, come up with something great and astounding.
As I wrote in my Ebook titled IDEA ''Ideas never come to an idle man but they come to you when you are idle.''
After hibernation, then action! Hibernation is useless when you don't take action. You need to understand and take leverage of momentum. Follow your gut, make use of valuable information.
Take action to become the actor of your life dream.
Learn the power and use of hibernation and action.
You are not lazy when you hibernate and you are not stupid when you take action; only beware of miscalculation. And even when you miscalculate, there is a word called RETRY. Retry. Always take up the role of the mythology bird PHOENIX.
Only you can express the greatness within you.
