How a corporate person becomes a guerrilla
Elephants have a hard time adapting to change. Cockroaches survive everything. If you are in a large corporation, you know the life of an elephant. To become a guerrilla, you need to be like a cockroach.
You must have the ability to adapt yourself to a different way of life. Cockroaches are one of the oldest surviving species, outlasting and outwitting all the evolutionary forces arrayed against them.
Most men and women who leave the corporate world to become guerrillas are sick of their inability to control their destiny. They long for a chance to face life straight in the eyes and take responsibility for their own existence.
If you are facing this crossroad, it's scary. There is comfort in that bureaucratic elephant. But it is stifling and you long to scramble out.
You can do it. Trust your gut. Trust your instincts. You are a unique person. You are better than you think you are
Every person, all the events of your life are part of you because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
You are the only person in this world who has sole charge of your existence. Your individual existence, your total existence. Not just your existence at your desk, or your existence in your car or in front of your computer. Not just the existence of your brain, but the existence of your soul.
