Daily we are thrown choices and faced with situations and daily we must decide on how we react. Perspective is crucial at this particular moment as for how you choose to perceive and how you choose to react will influence not only your attitude but it will have downstream impacts to those around you. 

All it takes is a little moment for you to stop to breathe and compile your thoughts before making a distinct decision to react. In this little moment, perspective needs to be applied. Understanding the situation from not just your angle but others view as well, will help you apply understanding, reason, logic and emotional attributes to the situation. Obviously, some perspectives will have different results, but they should be all considered. 

So the next time something happens and you have a reaction impending. Take 15 seconds to breathe. Take the time to understand. 

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” ― Stephen R. Covey

We are told and I continue to tell you to embrace a challenge, but the greatest challenge of them all is facing and chasing your dreams. In many of cases, the pursuit of actualizing dreams can be an unpredictable roller-coaster.  

There is always going to be bumps and windy roads along the way but it is more than that. As with every twist and turn, you need to stay true to yourself and pursue what makes you happy. It is crucial that you stay true to yourself and not give in to the distractions and influences of society. You need to remain odd, remain different and continue as an outlier. Different is good, as different is new.

Unfortunately, society has some pretty high standards and expectations of you and none of these include the real you. 

Personally, I know I have been a victim of failing to meet what the world expects. As much as this can be dissatisfying, I remain to stand firm and continue to be who I am… the real me. 

Have you ever had the impression or the explicit understanding that society wants you to be one thing when clearly you’re interested in being something else?

The benefit of being yourself is that you will stand out. Simply because you’re different. Now people may struggle to adjust to the different you, but in the long run, I think you will find that people appreciate you for being the real you. 

You give your best, perform well and hope it gets you noticed, but while good performance is important and critical to advancing your career; unfortunately, it’s not always enough. Many of your peers are doing great work as well. You have to do, have, be something more than that to stand out from the crowd. You have to be a real you. 

Chaos is rejecting all you have learned, chaos is being yourself. – Emile M. Cioran

The longer you remain comfortable, the longer you stay static. In a world forever changing, forever evolving, we need to adapt and be vigilant to stepping outside the boxes we live in. Think deeper, think new, think different and don’t limit your ways in which you can dream. 

The best place to challenge your thinking and your comfort zone is in the overlapping zone of where you feel most confident and where you feel like most comfortable. In this area, you should work on GROWING, EXPANDING and REDEFINING at a new level.

Too long have we remained at our comfort. It is time to fight back and take control of the new you. Redefine who, what and how you tackle your challenge but do not go in fear, but go forward to embrace. 

Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together. – James Cash Penney

As Yoda says:

Do or do not, there is no try.

Do not focus on the struggle, the challenge or the what if’s… but focus on doing rather than trying. We can try anytime. But if we do, we do it with our best. I am all for a challenge. But don’t try to do the challenge, do the challenge regardless and see what you can do. As once again, if you are doing, you are doing your best. 

The struggle will always be real – that is why it is a challenge. But get out there and show yourself what you can do. 

Changing your mindset from try to do, will enable you to focus on going in and focusing 100%. When we try, we limit ourselves unknowingly. 

Go do. Don’t just try.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

It is quite a straightforward question but it is the one you need to answer. Would you do it all over again?

Either it’s a yes or a no. But what do you have to compare it to? 

Through frustration, we can lose focus on what’s in front of us, around us and just exactly where we are. Through frustration, we have regret, we can be upset and we can be confused.  But what we really need to take into mind and consideration is that even if we have or have had struggles, are we not GREATER than we have been before. Forget material. Forget money. Think about the very core of who you are. 

The next step all starts with you. In doing so, should you have the regret of the past? The next steps are simply a way to start fresh and do it either the same (continue on) or you can venture into the unknown. 

Why should a failure prevent you from an upcoming success and why should a success that adds no meaning to your life anymore hold you from venturing out and trying something different?

Are you going forward or backward or are you kind of stuck in between?

It is a serious question to ask yourself as it will help influence the steps you need to be taking in order to thrive further into your adventure and journey. 

Sometimes we can take a step forward, followed by two steps back. This can be expected as we are usually learning as we progress forward. 

I think one king attribute we need to conquer is self-doubt. 

Getting ahead in this world is a struggle. Not against the tide of the world, but against your own self-doubt. You must be your own biggest fan and you must always work on being confident with yourself and the decisions you make. 

And as it has been a common trend for the week – when anyone gives you a compliment. Believe it. A compliment is a beautiful flower, enjoy it.

In order to get to where the grass is greener, we need to be willing to be pushed. Just a little push is enough. Depending on the circumstance, you will either be aware that a push is needed to help you get to where you would like to be or know you should be. While on the other hand, sometimes we don’t even realize we need a push to help us into the right direction. 

Growth comes in all shapes and sizes and we need to be willing to adjust, adapt and potentially fall into the right shape at the right time in order to maximize growth. 

So what are signs people are giving you a little push?

• Encouragement;
• the assumption that you have it covered;
• recommending you do the task;
• relying on you

These are just some of the ways people will give you a little push, but remember, we also need to continue to push ourselves further into the unknown to enable growth.

GROWTH is king.

Ever wondered why people intrigue you so much? Well, that is individualisation at its best. Everyone is unique, different and valuable. Being able to identify this and help others tap into their full potential is actually a common strength. Naturally, we may not all be the best at identifying, but this does not mean we can not take the time to encourage and support others. 

Individualisation is when;

Potential is realized, highlighted, maximized, because it is brought to the forefront.

So the next time you identify or see someone doing something unique, different which is adding value and making a difference. Make sure you stop and encourage them. Even getting to know and understand their skill and their unique talent, will help them be more confident and essentially help maximize their potential to be realized. 

That’s a challenge for you. Go encourage and see the world of individualisation.

It is time to WAKE UP. We are past 50 days of 2017 and it is time for you to check in. Honestly, if you’re not making progress towards your goals this year – all you have is yourself to blame. I understand there are uncontrollable factors in our lives, but seriously, can’t you just put aside 5, 10, 15, 20, 30mins a day for your goals.

I understand there are uncontrollable factors in our lives, but seriously, can’t you just put aside 5, 10, 15, 20, 30mins a day for your goals.

Trust me, it is the little efforts over a long period of time which will, in the end, kick down doors.

Wake up and do something about it.
