Red traffic light? Stop and investigate a new direction before you waste another precious day being unhappy. The act of investigating a new direction will ignite feelings of excitement, nervous trepidation and challenge. No excitement? Re-examine the new direction until you feel your heart pound a little faster.
Talk to any mega successful person and they will tell you that they remember the exact moment when they made “the decision.” They made “the decision” which turned their life around for the positive. They remember where they were and to whom they were speaking. People fail to achieve goals unless they are passionate about the result. The old saying “regret weighs tons” has validity.
Knowledge gained is never lost. Most mega successful people have experienced several businesses before they hit the perfect winner for them. Does they mean that they were a failure in each of the previous businesses? Of course not. They learned each step of the journey. Pay attention to the traffic light of your career staring you in the face.
Green traffic light? Go ahead; you may be on the right path. If the light is green and you are still not happy, examine your attitude and expectations? Consider rewarding yourself for the success you have already achieved. Look where you started and remember your dream. Every career hits snags and roadblocks. If your light is green, get going and take positive action. Make a list of 5 major action steps to take each day to move your life and career forward. Write your list at night in order for your subconscious to work on it while you are sleeping. First thing in the morning, review your list of 5 and complete them.
Yellow traffic light? Caution, you may need to carefully examine your goals. Are your actions each day moving you toward your goals or away from your target? Draw a line down the center of a piece of paper and use the “Ben Franklin” decision process. On the left side of the line write down every factor you do not like about your current career or life situation. On the right column, write down every element you like about your profession and your life. Take whatever time you require to know that you have a complete list in both columns. Weigh the facts on each side of the line.
Ask yourself what you could do to make each item on the “dislike” column a little more favorable. It may be possible to change minor elements of the disliked item to increase its desirability.
Which list contains the more important factors to you? The length of the list and the importance to you of each item matters. Still uncertain? Keep analyzing. Do not get caught in analysis paralysis in order to avoid taking any action. Review it again and make a decision for red or green.
Life and careers have traffic lights. Pay attention to the signals. Take action. Enjoy your life. Never let fear of change prevent you for loving your life. If you would like help with any step of the process, contact me at www.Elaine4Success.com.
