Despite my best intentions...I had to miss posting an entry yesterday because of the fact that I couldn't even find the cables for my PC amongst the hundreds of boxes that made up our worldly possessions.
Lesley feels right at home in our new house...but I currently feel like a lodger!
It's funny that all through our working lives we avoid change like the plague...yet most of us move every 5-10 years or so. In our two previous houses we have lasted five and six years respectively.
All of the upheaval and cost that goes with moving means that it is not something that is never trouble-free...yet don't we make the decision to do so on emotion and gut feeling?
Why can't we do that in our normal day-to-day lives as easily?
Why do YOU think that this is?
Could it be that, where moving is concerned...we are always making a POSITIVE move TOWARDS something 'better'...yet, the humdrum of ordinary life and career doesn't provide us with the necessary push to make things happen?
I believe that whatever you are moving towards day-to-day is, as a whole, only going forward a little at a time...it therefore can be hard for you to see that, you ARE moving towards where you really want to go...it just doesn't seem that way.
It's only when we literally GROW out of our present position at work that we finally get around to changing jobs. Or perhaps that we have allowed ourselves to 'suffer' enough that spurs us to finally get out.
But what if you could capture that sort of inspiration to make the BIG decisions...and USE it to help you move forward daily?
Perhaps without realising it...I do it in many forms - through writing this...through pushing myself out of my comfort zone...through being held accountable.
How could YOU tap into those feelings and emotions of the BIG decisions that are usually made more easily than the small ones...so that you are able to make some inroads in moving forward that little bit more regularly.
Of course...this 'theory' may be a little abstract to you to be able to apply...but try to think of the times that you made one of those big decisions - to quit your job, to move house, to try for a family, to 'pop the question'.
How were you motivated to make those life-changing decisions that forever would impact upon your future?
How you can tap into that STRENGTH of character that you DO possess to make things happen NOW?
I'd be interested to know...
