And when it does, take advantage of the new view!
Years ago a good friend running a large nonprofit decided to
make some big changes. Change always excites some and troubles
others. When confronted by numerous inquiries, his response;
“shift happens!”
Perhaps not the best response however I loved the simplicity
of the statement. Life constantly puts
us at crossroads. Some turns are easier
than others. A great deal of us simply
stay the course, to intimidated or cautious to take the road less travelled.
Sometimes it is us that make the shift and defending that
shift requires strength and tenacity. Sometimes
it is others that make a shift that require us to go along or resist.
Is it time for you to make a shift? It is for me, and I am excited about it. When I follow a new path it starts out a
bit uncomfortable however persistence always helps me prevail. That is, when I have made the right decision.
I have made plenty of poor decisions and
because of that I have learned “reverse.”
When shift happens to you, consider how it may impact you
and decide the course you will take. The
world will let you know if the shift is working for you. Be careful that your shift doesn’t harm
others since it is no fun to clean up someone else’s shift!
It is my opinion that there are new opportunities presented
to most of us quite often. The seekers of those opportunities are the
ones that will pay attention when the time comes. You see, if you are not interested in new
things then most likely you will not attract them or realize they exist.
It’s kind of like exercising a muscle, the more you work at
it the fitter you become. Taking on new
challenges and making them work require true fitness of the spirit. When your spirit is fit you project to others
a sense of optimism and opportunity.
When “shift happens” to you, take time to enjoy it and seek
internal wisdom that will allow you to understand whether or not it is time for
you to take a good shift!
