What is on your
learning curve for your personal and professional development? As coaches, helping clients connect to a positive
vision of the future is a core competency.
How often do we do this for ourselves?
How often do you? Painting a picture of the future can help us create it
– that is help craft a future that just isn’t going to naturally happen – but
it is more likely to happen if we paint it and look at that painting now and
then. And remember; some paintings are crystal clear, nearly photographic,
other equally valuable paintings are impressionistic. Make sure you “paint” in
your style, not the one you think is correct.
I believe we all
need to have an active versus a passive relationship with the future. In
practice this means being highly alert to possibilities and having the courage
to pounce (hopefully gracefully) when one comes along. When success has been a
challenge I often depend on my personal motto:– I’m not in control of my
destiny, but I am in control of my probabilities. Then I judge my success not on the outcome,
but on whether or not I tried.
