Change begins with you.
The challenges of life have made many people find themselves in a position they never desired. Some may not be as bad as others, or probably the effects may have varying impacts. Many things go through the mind at such times, as there is a desire for change or help. What do you at such times? What is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Sometimes, some people think that help can only come from everyone else except from themselves. They continually wait for other people to do something about their situation while there is something they could do to change their circumstance. You may not have everything you need, but you can start from yourself. You may be the help you need to get started.
Have you found the reason for being where you are? You can begin by starting a process of change by making the necessary corrections. You may have followed a particular lifestyle that has brought you shame and unfulfillment. You can begin a continuous step to change your lifestyle.
You may have discovered after assessment, that your losses were because of insufficient knowledge or skill, you can work on how to improve those areas. Should you need further help, you are informed enough to know where to turn, what to ask, as you have a specific area of focus. If you expect your situation to change, you must initiate the change. If you don’t, it may remain the same or probably be affected by other changes by someone else which may not be in your interest.
If you lose your job because of redundancy, you may get another job in the relevant industry with your relevant skills. If you do not act, it may become harder, the longer you stay jobless. If you do nothing still, you may begin to lose those skills. A time may come when you think of other industries, or just anything to get money. It is like a gradual decline; in some cases, other people may take advantage of that situation to offer you anything or use your skills or time for their selfish goals.
A student that knows that he failed because he did not study could correct that error by preparing well and take the next exam. Most often than most, we can change our situation by sincerity to ourselves. You know the reason why you failed, change, and you would get a better result. If you need help, get help in those areas you have identified. It is easier than blaming people, complaining or expecting that change will happen by doing nothing.
You may have attended a series of job interviews and never had a success. You probably had some feedback about your performance. It could be at the interview or via correspondence. I hope you have not been throwing them away or ignoring the contents. It may contain some details that will help you. If you know why you were not selected, you could improve on those issues, and apply for another job. You do not have to give up or get frustrated, you have the answer right before you, do the required, and soon you will be employed.
Have you thought of what you can do about your situation? You probably have been rejected for promotion because of poor performance. You will do well to request for more details of the assessment. You can then find out what you can do to improve your performance and try again. The more information you have, the better the decisions you make.
You did not meet the requirement for a course for a reason. Find out how you can get the requirements and apply again. You may not always agree with what is required or the feedback provided, but at least you can get the relevant information to help make you a better person for your desired goal or future. Your situation will not change until you decide to change.
An investigation usually takes place after a major accident like a plane crash. The purpose, among other things, is to identify what went wrong to avoid recurrence. It could be related to anything or anyone, including the pilot, environment, engines, electronics, passengers, and so on. Information will be required to find the root cause of the matter. The investigation reveals the problem which now determines the next line of action. The airline will do all they can to ensure there is no repeat because they will act, to fix the issues identified. They can then pass on with confidence the assurance they have through the discovery to the passengers. They will lose all their customers if they do nothing.
If you planned to a business for five years hoping to make a profit, but after ten, you have incurred more losses than gain. Something must have gone wrong, you may not be as equipped as you thought, or many other things could be the result. You may need to find out and fix the issue.
I know some people that borrow money to start a business or investment. They hope to pay back the money within a short period of say six or twelve months. After the initial expiration period, they do not have the gain expected, let alone the capital. They now try to borrow some more, and their assurance is that they can pay off the former and latter debt with some gain in another twelve months of doing the same thing. They seem to think that the failure has nothing to do with them but just external forces that will work favourably with more borrowing in a different time. They often end up with more debts and frustration. I would have thought they would find out; Why did it not work the first time? What did I do wrong? The answer could help produce a better result.
Have you been copying some people, but you are not getting the anticipated result or unfulfilled? Something is not quite right. Find out where you missed it and initiate a change for good. You have the power to start that change whenever you are ready or tired of your situation.
You may have been hoping to win the lottery for the past 20 years, but have never won the hundreds of millions you desperately desired. What makes you think that it would be any different if you continue in the same course for the next 30 years. If your chances of winning are 1 in 300,000,000 people, Is there hope? Can you put your life at a standstill because of such uncertainty? You may achieve more within a short period if you are willing to make the necessary change. It starts with you.
Some people make products, and no one shows interest, no sales. There is a reason, discover it, otherwise you will soon be frustrated, wasting all your resources on items that would be thrown away or given out for free. You will do well to stop incurring losses, hoping that other people will change their minds. You may need to change.
The purpose of correction in a class is to help students identify their errors, correct it, and progress in learning. If you are not progressing and refuse correction; it is like a decision to stay in the same position of need, yet you know what to do to experience a change.
Have you found out the reason for your present circumstance? Do you know what has gone wrong? Have you spotted your errors? That is help for you. Take the right steps to make the change that is required. Change can happen at any time in life. You may realise that you have gone the wrong way; you can decide when to change. Do not let fear or the opinion of others keep you in bondage. Let the change start with you; let it be now.
To be continued next week, don’t miss it.
