“I
have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want
to go, if you really want to go.”
~ Langston Hughes, Poet and Activist
Thoughts For Moving Forward
- Be determined to move
strong, in spite of uncertainty and storms (whatever they look like for
you: slow economy, job market, relationship challenges).
- Rudder at the right
signs. Stay anchored in your values, visions,
and interests. (Revisit your lists.)
- Open all lanes for
learning. Detours and potholes are there for a
reason. (If you fall in or go the wrong way, so what? Find a way out or
around.)
- Explore the right realms,
your major motivators. What’s the gas in your engine? (passion, giving
back, your expertise, challenge, taking care of your family)
- Acknowledge fellow
travelers. We don’t journey alone (Get support from
friends, mentors, and networks.)
- Plot a route to
success that’s realistic.
Be confident in who you are and
pace your journey to your style. Do you!
- Rejuvenate. Stop and
rest. Take a break, vacation, or staycation (Have a
special way to fuel you.)
- Boldly remain a
believer in your own success. See it to the right, left, front, and rear
as you check your mirrors. (Engage!)
- Claim victory at
critical times.
Segment your successes for each
leg of your journey (Small wins are good).
