When people ask how you are, do you answer with “fine”?
I want you to change your answer. I want you to feel “great”!
So what’s the difference between “fine” and “great”? It’s the difference between stagnation and momentum. It’s the difference between settling and making the most of a situation.
You don’t have to feel amazing all the time: that’s an unreasonable expectation. BUT, having a positive outlook and an attitude that you want to improve, grow, and expand into the most wonderful you possible is part of what you need to truly feel good about yourself.
(And we both know that you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t want to make that change.)
There’s a big difference between settling and making the most of a situation. Settling encourages stagnation, while accepting added responsibilities for future benefit, for example, is being strategic.
This approach challenges the mind and allows for the mastery of new skills, which results in clarity and confidence when making career moves.
So many people are afraid of change. They are afraid of the unknown, afraid to venture out of their comfort zone. But, let me tell you a secret: the view is spectacular!
And if nothing changes, how will you ever reach your full potential?
Strategy is essential to move you in the right direction. Strategy considers purpose. If you’re just “fine,” then there is no strategy. You aren’t moving. You’re playing small, and I know that you aren’t satisfied with that.
So reassess whether you are “fine” or “great.” Determine what you need to make that leap beyond your comfort zone and into the great unknown, ready to soar with the best of them. YOU don’t want to lead a stagnant life. YOU want and deserve so much more!
If you’re hiding your true self right now, look at all the things you can do to let her out. What tools do you need? Remember that learning and momentum go hand in hand, so discover new things and explore new paths.
And remember that you always hear about the “path to greatness,” “the road to success,” or the “journey to happiness.” It’s always a street, not a couch.
Still looking for a strategy to get you moving in the right direction? Let me help set you on the path!
