A kick in the pants

Life is full of changes.....in our personal lives, our professional lives, all around us.  Sometimes, we get a little too comfortable in what we are doing.  We get stuck in a routine and don't deviate.  We like it where it is SAFE.  That can be okay if you are experiencing positive things and you feel some progress happening.  But at some point, we all need a kick in the pants to get going forward again.  We need to kick it in gear to speed up toward goals, to change course if needed, or to just wake up a bit.

I've experienced some change lately and although it took me by surprise, I think it's just the boost I needed to ramp things up and do some new things.  Change can scare you and shake you up or you can roll with it and see how you come out on the other side.  These are the times that you find out who you are.....your strength....your resourcefulness.  It's a time of good surprises and learning curves.

Look at your own life right now.  Do you need a change?  Where?  Maybe you need a new exercise routine.  Maybe you need to tighten up what you are eating because perhaps the scale is "stuck" or you aren't seeing progress anymore.  Are you happy with what you are doing for work?  If not, how can you make it better?

Change is scary, I know!  Kick yourself every now and then so that you can prepare yourself for things down the road when others kick YOU in the pants instead.  Then, roll with it.  You may like what comes next.

Instigate and embrace change.
