Behind the Green Curtain….Genuine Transformation

A redesign of your current and future thinking urges positive individual action.  The same old thinking will not yield new results.

Learn to adapt.  It’s not prudent to expect and believe one report, one presentation, or one conference will help you accomplish everything desired.

Even what I am sharing here. Take what works if it rings true.

There are multiple teachers for multiple lessons. Know this!

But First….Ponder This

The Struggle is Real

The one reason behind genuine transformation is adoption of new, different, and better perspectives.  Take control of what you think!

What does this do?  It reveals a new way to imagine and create a dynamic personal approach toward change and change elements (challenge vs. struggle).

It is a personal belief and has been proven, an individual’s environment is instrumental in defining how they operate, navigate life, and set goals in general.

Your commitment in relation to change is fundamental.  Think about it, how you choose to deal with it is a major factor in your success considerably!

Human beings will choose action or inaction.  This choice is either productive or counter-productive. This means something external is a cause of struggle.

Hear me out…social expectations—usually people, keep our thoughts focused on the struggle.

Be Aware

Understanding of environmental goings-on internally and externally is a major assist.  You can now address and manage circumstances, issues or problems because you are aware.

As a strong proponent of personal growth and forward-living, I believe when we take the time to develop and learn ourselves, the effects are far-reaching.

Change and growth remove barriers, influences relationships, and thus, seeps into every area of our life.

UnCommonly Good!

How does one go above the mundane?

Forward movement requires forward thinking.  This simply means, thinking at a higher level of creativity, innovation, and visualization of the next desired progressive state.

Fundamentally, a shift, from common thinking to reasoned thinking (Collins, 2015).

Or if you will…glory to glory!

Be Aware, Again!!

The thoughts expressed above are to urge and encourage you to possess self-awareness.  Essentially, work to

While your environment is evolving and changing, it’s vital to identify possibilities and current events affecting you — positively and negatively!

Focus on the Positive. Period.  

Navigating your environment with self-knowledge and positivity is an aid in every area of your life as circumstances change economically, professionally, and socially (Collins, 2015).

The future possibilities are considerable reagarding your thinking and decision-making.

I encourage you to be curious and manage change like a BOSS!

Change and Acceptance….

Isn’t this a no-brainer?

Kind of.

Change acceptance and movement are two very personal on-time actions. So, I want to talk a bit about when change CREEPS up unexpectedly or maybe not so unexpectedly!

Our last few conversations covered the “what” of managing change with tool(s) suggestions to assist in navigating the process. Well, I must apologize, I was slightly remiss. I’m gonna to do a BACKSTROKE and TIGHTEN UP a little in this post.

You see, I was having a conversation with a friend about going through change, and she said these “2” words. This truly hit home for me.  I thought to myself these “2” words are the actual actions to get you to move in the direction of something different. Well, this conversation got the ole thinking cap juices flowing.

Here are some thoughts on these “2” essential actions in the process.

So, do you want the RED or BLUE PILL…

Thinking Cap

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is you personally saying it is “OK” to think and feel what you think and feel when you think and feel it (Lillis, 2014). If you think about it, adopting change involves altering human behavior to accept the change.

There will be a natural resistance to the change for several reasons…

• new ideas
• experiences
• practices

So, the change adoption will not necessarily be a naturally occurring incident. Nevertheless, through work, trial and error fabulous results can emerge.

Innovation or change is only successful through examining existing notions about the way things should be and the subsequent outcome.

Be receptive to the change, evaluate new ideas objectively, and see your change results as what they could potentially be…BIG & BEAUTIFUL!

This was number #1, now on to #2

MOVEMENT

The movement component simply means…..participate.

Here’s the caveat, the change process is only successful because of choices. You’ve got to move with the understanding of needs, limitations, and challenges as the primary person in the process.

We want to move with and on this change through thoughtfully committed efforts.

I’ve learned from experience, it’s important to recognize how the change can be controlled to achieve the HAPPINESS EFFECT.

We are the skill developers – architects of an effective change process, whenever instigated. There’s NO Reality Download!

See how to craft your reactions and responses to it and perceive this to mean “surrender” and “accept.” Reflect on the “who/what/where/when/why/how of the change process as a must.  This ultimately presents ideas to achieve optimal results.

In this place of surrender and acceptance spurs movement where you can make important behavioral changes (Lillis, 2014).

The MATRIX

As humans, we’re our most persuasive resistor to change. So, understand these obstructions are not outside of us.

Know that accepting and loving what IS bears no relation to passivity.  It’s easy and yet a challenge, there must be a desire to clearly see and discern the difference between passivity and courage.

Acceptance…treat yourself as whole and lacking NOTHING. Accept yourself as is, acknowledge your worth, and pursue what matters in your life.

Movement…take charge of the change outcome for you can MAKE IT SO!

Always from my heart, mind, and soul to yours, I encourage you to be curious and manage change like a BOSS!
