The Morning Ascent

Change…Know when the time has come.

Change is scary. Change is hard. It requires us to toss aside the familiar and jump headlong into the unknown. And change can be rife with failure as we experiment with new ideas until we hit the right mix.

But change doesn’t have to be so daunting. The problem is, our expectations of a quick and easy fix derail us. We think there ought to be some sort of magic – if we try something new, it’ll automatically improve our situations. When it doesn’t, we often give up, hope the problem goes away or keep working harder at the solution that clearly isn’t working.

You need to set goals, fix aspects of your life that aren’t working and strengthen relationships. You’ve got to be reading, learning, and studying, all in an effort to accelerate toward your vision of your future.

The day you stop growing and learning is the day you start to lose credibility as a leader.

In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

If you want to keep getting better, you need to embrace change and become its champion.

Make today your day to shine!
