As we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday week, we are reminded that life is not always fair and that opportunities are not equitable for all. Truth is, some people work like crazy to create the smallest of opportunities while others create and are given chance after chance to pursue successful new ventures and experiences.
This week we are asking you to, like Dr. King, “dream” bolder dreams in 2022 and to create change in your life and the lives of others.
Success starts with becoming an agent of change and re-wiring your brain to create it. Here are (3) three ways to switch things up and to create the change you want in your life.
1. Be the one who gathers people instead of waiting for someone else to take the lead. Be a proactive connector. Be the person who is first to follow up with the ideas, details, and specifics to make things happen.
2. Share your big ideas with others instead of keeping them in your head. There have been countless studies that prove the mere act of writing down a goal increases the likelihood that the person will be successful.
3. Remain focused on your ultimate goals instead of focusing on current circumstances – always focus on the next best step to explore. Of course, you should give your current opportunity your focus and effort, but you should also always have a plan for your next project or path to pursue.
This week make a conscious choice to talk more about your current and future dreams and plans and less about your past experiences. Remember, going down memory lane is great, but you don’t want to live there. People who make things happen are always looking toward the future, have a good plan, and talk about their new projects and goals.
