I receive inspirational graphics like the one below from my real estate company – Real Estate One.
I couldn’t help myself about the title for this post. Change happens all the time and all around us and much of the time we respond rather passively, just going along to get along. It is possible that those changes that are happening around us may lead to a better life, but I’m not sure that we would realize it.
The real message in the graphic is that you must make changes in your life in order for it to get better. Most of the time those changes reflect some new goal that you have set for yourself. The success of the changes is measured in the level of achievement of those goals.
One can float along through life, like people floating down a river on innertubes, without much control over how fast they go or where they end up. The alternative might seem like being a kayaker on the river and maybe the river might seem rough, like a whitewater rafting river, however, like the kayaker, you have control and can change directions or even manage a spirited ride down the rapids. You are making the choices about t he direction that you are going.
Life is like that, too, and that is what today’s graphic is really saying. Imagine a better life and then take control to change the things that need to change in your life in order to achieve that better life. That involves taking the chances that will result in change.
So, jump off your innertube and grab a paddle. The kayak of change is waiting for you. What new direction will you go in next?
