Change = Opportunity

I receive a weekly e-mail newsletter from Jeffrey Gitomer, and one recent article that stood out to me continues to capture my thoughts…especially as we march toward spring of this new and exciting year.

Gitomer points out that change is in the air. (Surely you are experiencing this on some level! Aren’t we all?) But then he goes on to say:

  • The personal question is: How will you react to that change?
  • The bigger personal question is: Do you understand that change is opportunity?
  • The biggest personal question is: How will you take advantage of that opportunity?

During times of great change, some people wait to see what happens. Big mistake. There are three kinds of people: People who make things happen, people who watch things happen, and people who don’t know what’s happening. Which kind are you?

Now may be the perfect time to change your situation and possibly take a self-leadership position. Now is definitely the perfect time to take control of yourself—your thoughts, your expressions, and your actions. Work harder and smarter than ever before, and do it with a positive attitude. I’m confident it will lead you to an amazing 2010 and beyond!
