Now is the time to plant seeds of purpose while you prepare for this next phase of transitions, and a time of renewal is now implied. Starting something new can always be scary and frustrating. But having a fresh starting point can put us in a new environment and let us be open to new opportunities. Don’t be scared to let go of the familiar, for the new can not come until the old and the outworn have moved on.
- TRY NEW THINGS
People nowadays are similar to a commodity. They lack perspective and life experience; which is due to the fact that all of them did the exact same thing. Growing up in the same environment, going to the same schools, and practicing the same activities makes us a replication of the same model. And trying new things will broaden our vision.
Try some new foods. Check out the most recent museum exhibits. Read books outside your field of knowledge. And don’t be scared to take greater risks, such as traveling around the world. It’s life experiences that expand your view.
- DON’T BE AFRAID TO FAIL
Don’t let failure hold you down and keep you from achieving your goals. People tend to believe it is a referendum on them and ought to think they are not good enough for anything. It is important to remember that failure is only a road map that leads you to what you don’t have to do next.
“Those who have a growth mindset, however, think failure is a roadmap for what not to do next time;” says Megan McArdle, author of The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success. From small slip-ups to colossal defeats, we’re all going to fall away at some point in life; to be successful, you’ve got to have a certain level of risk blindness.
- BE OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES
New opportunities come to us when our door is open to change. Enlarging our circle of networks can introduce us to greater possibilities that lead to our success. When talking to strangers and looking approachable in events, conferences, and gatherings, you’re starting to create a connection that may turn into a wonderful relationship.
Don’t be shy when talking to strangers and don’t worry what they might think of you. “You don’t have to be an extrovert to talk to a stranger,” says Judy Robinett, author of How to Be a Power Connector. “We’re all so worried what other people might think about us. The truth is that no one cares because they’re worried about themselves.”
- BE WILLING TO CHANGE
To remain relevant as you go on in life, you need to be able to welcome change, says Jason Jennings, author of The Reinventors. What’s got you where you are now isn’t going to get you where you want to go tomorrow.
- DON’T TRY TO FIT IN
Overly, we want to blend into our environment, because we believe it’s going to make us move ahead, but the one who accepts their differences stands out. Once you recognize what makes you different, focus on it. To be successful, you don’t have to change who you are; you just have to become more of who you are.
