Change is an unavoidable constant in our work lives. Sometimes it’s within our control, but most often it’s not.Even though we are never free from change, we are always free to decide how we respond to it.And the major thing to do is to accept the fact that change happens, and employ our freedom to decide what to do next.
- Through the trials, I learned to trust in God.God knows what you're ready for. He knows what your arms are able to carry, he knows what your heart can contain, he knows what’s coming, and He knows how and when to prepare you for it. He knows the right time, the right place, the right person, and the right answer.2. Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. Sometimes there is no good reason for the events that take place. But most times, you’ll realize it will all make sense for a much better reason, if you’re patient enough to wait.Taking a shortcut isn't always profitable, doing the right thing may take longer but just trust the process, because your reward is sure. 3. People tend to consider being vulnerable a bad thing. It's not. Vulnerability reminds us that we're human. It keeps us open to giving and receiving love. Without at least a little, we can become someone living in a prison of our own making, where the walls are so thick that no one can get in or out. Giving and receiving love is vital to human existence and the only method of receiving love is to give love, because what we give out must come back.
The greatest power in our lives is the power of the mind.For most of us, that power is scattered around, so we don’t get much use of it, When it is directed at something, it’s usually directed in the wrong place.But regardless of what strategy you use to try to be successful or productive just remember that anytime you find the world distracting you, all you need to do is commit to one thing. In the beginning, you don’t even have to succeed. You just need to get started and be intentional about it.
Getting better at what you do can be achieved through deliberate practice.Deliberate practice and timeless repetition is what turns amateurs into professionals. Across every field, deliberate practice is what creates top performers and what they use to stay at the top of their game. Think about it, the hours you spent at basketball practice, shooting hoops or completing drills, develop skills that eventually become automatic.Think about driving a car. Although learning to drive involved complex precision, remember the many lessons you had with your driving coach, arguing about when to change gears, brake, accelerate - all while trying to follow the road rules. Through practice these actions became automatic. You now no longer think about driving - you just get in the car and drive.Sustained, repeated (Deliberate) practice is needed to get better at what you do.It's absolutely essential for expert performance.Does it sound like a lot of work? You bet it is. You will not be an expert overnight so keep working!
