Change proactively
The results of transformative change are all around us this summer. Sunflower plants busting out from seeds where they have slept tightly curled, butterflies leaving behind their worn out cocoons, flowers dressing up the bare limbs of trees. This time as the financial year begins; it is the time for proactive change.
Change is the only certainty in an uncertain world. This year you will change, merely because everything around you will change. What you can decide is, whether you will lead the change or become a victim of it. Think about proactively changing things in the following areas of your life.
Personal: Create goals that will improve your skills and build on your strengths. Tap into the passion that you have kept tightly leashed because you had no time. Did you always want to learn to play the guitar? Sign up now.
Family: Ask your family members to suggest change each of them would like. Try to see if it can be done. Don’t be a casualty of the corporate rat race.
Professional: Have a chat with your teammates. Volunteer for a tough blue sky job. Create a ‘huddle’ in your workplace so that everyone can meet and talk for a few minutes every morning.
Social: Create a face book page for your family and friends. Keep in touch, share pictures, keep them informed and involved in an interesting activity: a get-together for all your friends, an annual family reunion, a pot luck meet and eat for all your neighbours.
Make sure things change in the way you want. And remember a butterfly is not an improved caterpillar, just as a sunflower is not an improved seed.
