Olga A. (SLE) - Goal orientation, breakthrough abilities

In life I was given strong breakthrough abilities. That’s when there is an inner state—you are the owner of your life, your territory, and the situation you are in. And from this inner state of being the “owner,” a corresponding structure of thinking is built—the thinking of an “owner.”

There are people who simply drift through life. They just drift and drift… There are those who “flow”… And there are those who “go” in a certain direction. As for me—I act, I will get through!

Once my friend and I were standing at a bus stop. There were enough people for one and a half buses. The bus arrives, and we end up standing last, with this crowd between us and the bus. The bus opens its doors. The middle door is right in front of us. My friend and I start moving toward it. There’s an empty passage in front of us, and we walk straight through the crowd. It may sound like a fairy tale. There was a corridor ahead of us. We were the first to enter through the middle door and take seats, and after us the crowd came in, with part of it left behind at the stop.

Those are my abilities: to pass through a crowd, through “walls,” to overcome obstacles.

<…> When you’re in tone, when you know that right now you’ll do this, this, and this, when everything is planned—that’s movement, that’s life. But when the tram arrives half an hour after you came to the stop, you’re ready to kill someone! There it is, the obstacle on the path—I worked through it and moved on. It turns out that you go in your own direction, and something gets in the way of your work, something you have to overcome: fifteen minutes here, ten minutes there… You step over obstacles and keep going. My favorite sport in life is the hurdles race.

When overcoming obstacles, the scheme is like this: a wall—you start pounding on the wall with brute force, but then you realize that the wall can be bypassed. You can look around, widen your range, and find an option where you can go around the wall. I understand that besides the state of “I’ll break through,” there is also a state of flexibility, where you just go around obstacles.

I came to Moscow—I needed to get my father a passport. Normally it takes a month or a month and a half.

And I needed it by evening. They made it for me in three hours. I needed it done—and I did it! I negotiated with a person on whatever acceptable terms were necessary to resolve this impossible situation and get everything done today. And the person did it in three hours, despite the fact that they didn't have the forms and the official term was a month.

When I need something, I set a task and act. I have no embarrassment about anything at all. I know that I need it. And there are simply no doubts about it. If you have doubts, those are brakes. But when you know you need it, you align yourself to move forward without hesitation.

You need to be able to enter into resonance with any person, to be able to negotiate—then everything will work out.
