"It's not about the change itself, but about who we become in the process."
In any kind of change, be it:
🔸 Career transitions
🔸 Technology adoption
🔸 Business growth or scaling
🔸 Relationships, including parenting
We often measure success by outcomes, such as:
🔸 Landing the desired job
🔸 Meeting business targets
🔸 Fulfilling roles in relationships
🔸 Implementing new technologies
This is all important and this is how change looks from the outside.
But 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 '𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿' 𝗮𝗻𝗱 '𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀' 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲.
To understand this better, look back at a situation when a major change happened in your life -
𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺, 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵?
or
𝘈𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥, 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥?
The answer to this will help determine where your focus was during the change.
To fully embrace change and POWER UP in this New Year, prioritize inner transformation:
🔸 Define who you aspire to be
🔸 Clarify your core values
🔸 Exercise patience
🔸 Trust the journey
What are your thoughts on change?
