I appreciate you logging on here and listening to your weekly Monday Motivation or more of a challenge as it\u2019s becoming!   Let me ask you \u2013 do you complain but refuse to make changes? Whether it\u2019s your thoughts, how you do something, WHEN you do something or perhaps personal behavior? Has the WHY behind that changed?  Perhaps the WHY isn\u2019t the problem it\u2019s the HOW. Perhaps you don\u2019t understand or believe IN the WHY behind what you are doing, or the need for change. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. So why do so many resist? Why do people HATE CHANGE so much? The last few weeks I\u2019ve talked about getting uncomfortable. Stepping OUT OF your comfort zone \u2013 doing something new. Going it alone. Trying something for the 1st time or in a new, or different way. I know, I know I KNOW it can be hard, scary, uncertainty sets in \u2013 you don\u2019t know or OH HOLY LORD CONTROL THE OUTCOME, so you put the guards up and GUESS WHAT? You don\u2019t do it. Worse yet, you do nothing. Podcast #13 \u2013 what is the definition of insanity??  You don\u2019t want to change anything yet you still EXPECT DIFFERENT RESULTS! Well welcome to life people! I learned years ago to take my hands off the wheel and enjoy the ride! Yes, I still want things MY way, but when something doesn\u2019t happen the way I WANTED OR EXPECTED it to happen, do I just give up, throw a fit (as I\u2019ve seen people do)? HELL NO! I look at what\u2019s going on. THE WHY behind it. I may not like having to change something, but I realize I can\u2019t argue with the giant joystick in the sky!! I have to sit down and really look at everything \u2013 every aspect of what I am doing, how I am doing it, and WHY! THEN, I take a deep breath \u2013 perhaps have a glass of wine and pull up my bootstraps and make adjustments! Sometimes that even means walking away from an idea, a client, a goal \u2013 hmmmmm, usually not a goal. More like delaying a goal or shelving it until the timing is better, funding is better, I know more or align with someone who shares the same vision. Listen in this week as I discuss more about how to not change a goal, change the plan or the process!! And, as this week\u2019s quote says, DON\u2019T EXPECT TO SEE A CHANGE IF YOU DON\u2019T MAKE ONE. AND the comment here, or email me at SBallard@GrowingForward.biz and tell me what you are willing to change!
