Have the events of the past year been full of change, uncertainty, and even stressful? Uncertain and difficult times can suck the hope and excitement out of our lives and careers. Before you know it you are dragging through your days wondering when will this nightmare be over???Wait a minute...Did you hear that?...It's your "wake-up call" telling you its time to get up, stop sleepwalking and get excited again about your life, career and the many great possibilities this new season can bring. Stop hitting the snooze button, its time to get up and get yourself together!
Wake Up and Get Ready! Like getting up in the morning, you need to get ready for this new season.
1. Get out of bed. For starters it's time to leave behind your comfort zone and security blankets and get this season started. Laying around thinking about past dreams (or even nightmares) isn't going to help you get up and going. So rise and shine, and lets make something exciting and new happen.
2. Get a good long shower. It's time to wash away all the "funky stuff" (stinking thinking, or nasty attitude) that has built up during your "down time." It's time to clean yourself up and get ready to reconnect with the world.
3. Don't forget to brush your teeth and use a little mouthwash! Make sure you clean out your mouth and stop speaking negative into your world and to the people, circumstances, opportunities in your life. Nobody likes being around people with negative "potty mouth" issues, especially positive people on the move.
4. Put on a fresh change of cloths. As we say in the church, put on your garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness! Its time to put on your new attitude, outlook, and take on the world with a fresh new attitude of success and excellence. If you like designer clothing, show the world your "new brand" of excellence that reflects your commitment to quality and excellence.
5. Read your paper. Start this new season by being more informed or studied about your world, your industry, profession or interests. Being well read will stimulate your mind and prepare you for informed discussions with other professional and forward thinking people.
6. Get a good breakfast and enjoy your coffee. Stimulate and nourish yourself by feeding your spirit and mind with prayer, spiritual study, eating healthy foods, exercising, and good positive conversation with those around you. As they say, "you are what you eat."
7. Get ready for your commute. Set your personal GPS to guide you to your next destination in life and in your career. Many people fumble around and loss their way in their lives and career because they never developed a strategy or road map to get to the next level. Get your strategy together. By the way, it's alright to ask for directions if you need a little help along the way!
