I’m Still … On a journey chasing better
I love this theme for life – On a journey chasing better.
Life is a dynamic journey, and as we traverse its winding path, we often find ourselves right in the midst of seeking improvement and growth and changes get tossed onto our path that are beyond our control. These changes can cause us to adjust our course. Unfortunately, sometimes these times bring gut-wrenching emotion. In this ever-changing world, both circumstances and people will undoubtedly be different, making the pursuit of progress a thrilling and unpredictable adventure.
I have used a logo for content creation for the last 5 years. It consists of a photo of myself and my cherished companion Chloe. Along the way Chloe passed away. Because she was such a joy in my life, that gut wrenching happening left me very sad and searching for what I was now missing with her leaving my journey. I had a choice, stop and change my purpose and in effect alter the course of my journey or refresh, smile from the joy she provided, and continue on this journey, understanding that this won’t be the last challenge along the way.
As we explore the essence of embracing change while on a journey to discover a better version of ourselves, here a 5 steps to stay on that journey:
Embracing the Unpredictable: Life's journey is replete with uncertainties, and the only constant we can count on is change. Embracing the unpredictable nature of life allows us to cultivate resilience and adaptability, enabling us to navigate through various challenges and opportunities that come our way.
Embracing Growth Mindset: A growth mindset is the foundation of a transformative journey. It involves believing in our ability to learn and evolve continuously, even when faced with setbacks or failures. Embracing a growth mindset empowers us to view change as an opportunity for progress and self-improvement.
Cultivating Self-Reflection: Amidst the pursuit of betterment, taking time for self-reflection is crucial. It helps us understand our values, motivations, and aspirations, guiding us to make choices that align with our evolving selves and lead us towards a more fulfilling life.
Finding Joy in the Present: While we chase better, it is essential to find joy and contentment in the present moment. Celebrating our progress, no matter how small, and appreciating the beauty of the journey itself brings a sense of fulfillment and gratitude.
The Power of Change as a Catalyst: Change serves as a catalyst for growth and transformation. Embracing change consciously and willingly can propel us towards achieving our goals, inspiring us to stretch beyond our perceived limits and embrace new opportunities.
Conclusion:
In our pursuit of betterment, we must recognize that life is a journey of constant change.
In my 63 years of life, a lot of consistency has been present. The facts are that I have had 44 years of marriage to Becky, been in a business and sales environment the last 40 years in only 2 primary fields - Bear that out. However, the changes, losses, setbacks, moves and course corrections are too numerous to detail here. Embracing the ebb and flow of life's transitions empowers us to adapt, learn, and grow. As we navigate the twists and turns, let us remember that the journey itself is just as significant as reaching our destination. So, let us embark on this adventure of chasing better with open hearts and minds, ready to embrace the magic of change that makes our lives truly extraordinary.
Please join me on this journey chasing better … and Expect to Win!
