Quand une enveloppe et un stylo changent le quotidien

Image by Owen Buggy

On l’aime ou on ne l’aime pas, Richard Branson n’en reste pas moins un personnage inspirant. L’âme d’entrepreneur, il fait partie de ceux qui ne restent pas en place et quittent l’école tôt pour se consacrer à ce qui les inspire. Le développement de son groupe Virgin sur une multitude de secteurs, et bien que ceux-ci n’aient pas tous connu le même succès, témoigne d’un homme qui a décidé de prendre sa vie en main.

Son dernier article « Make a life plan » a particulièrement retenu mon attention. Richard Branson y évoque sa manière d’aborder l’entreprise, et plus largement la vie. Expliquant que pour construire un business plan, il simplifie et va à l’essentiel, il en est a priori de même dans sa vie personnelle. Pour chaque décision (importante) de sa vie, il applique une méthode que tout un chacun est en mesure d’adopter : sur une enveloppe, il dessine deux colonnes et y liste à gauche ce qui lui convient/va/correspond, à droite ce qui ne lui convient/va/correspond pas dans la situation actuelle.

Selon lui, il s’agit d’une question de volonté, celle de se donner les moyens de prendre un temps de recul pour mieux avancer ensuite. Comme si, au lieu de vous lancer sur la route au volant de votre voiture sans savoir précisément où vous allez, vous vous donniez le temps de vous arrêter quelques instants sur le bas-côté pour paramétrer votre destination dans votre GPS ou application GPS. Nul doute que Richard Branson trouve ses ressources et sa motivation dans cette croyance que chacun peut changer, améliorer, évoluer… à condition d’en avoir l’envie.

En accord total avec sa vision et intrigué par sa méthodologie, je me la suis appliquée. Force est de constater qu’outre clarifier la situation, cet exercice en rien chronophage m’a permis aussi de prendre conscience de « tout ce qui va ». Par habitude davantage focalisé sur les points d’amélioration/d’évolution, j’ai pu relativiser et même dans certains cas me féliciter de cette fameuse colonne de gauche.

C’est décidé : j’aurai dorénavant toujours sur moi un stylo ainsi qu’une enveloppe.
