There are those that don’t or won’t change. They line the halls with their critical gossip. They know neither the agony of defeat, nor the joy of success.
Maybe it’s time to remind everyone that April will change things for me. Are you expecting big change in April? Are you driving big change?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Change is the only constant. I love routine just as much as change. Sounds conflicting, but isn’t.
Meaning, the day to day administrative stuff, like paying bills, deciding when and where to get the oil changed (assuming you have a vehicle), whether to have a battery powered alarm clock as a backup for the electric one and what type to purchase.
Or the process for storing your car keys, wallet, and cell phone, so you never lose these things. Or keeping a backup phone charger in the most logical place.
Without a decent handle on the day-to-day things, your life piles up and overwhelms you.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Mostly, we hate change. But yet we are surrounded by it. At work. At home. On the news. In our face. Everywhere.
And deep down inside, we know that change has many positive benefits, and with hard work, we CAN change.
But who pushes you?
Who gets in your face and reminds you you can’t quit?
Is it you? Do you coach yourself?
And if you are self-coached, where did you learn it, from a book, a seminar, a show? Let’s be real.
Your biggest and best change came when someone believed you could do what you didn’t believe you could do. The “coach” got in your face and pushed you, and rode you, and drove you to excellence.
