Is the present holding back your future?

When making a decision, you have to remind yourself that it is very often about now and not so much about the future. Many would argue that we need to make a decision that will benefit the future. Of course, no dispute to that. The challenge is to recognize that a delayed decision affects the future as much as one that you feel will be the perfect decision.

How do you do that?

One, making a decision isn’t about predicting the future. Let’s face it; no one can predict the future. Your predictions are only as good as your assumptions. And we know what people say about assumptions.

So decide on the best decision now based on the information that you have. Which leads us to how much information do you need?

Two, let’s face it. You have limited time and resources. Decide on the amount of key information you need. 10 seminal research papers, 5 similar case studies and 1 consultant? OK, go through that and decide already.

Three, decide WHEN you will decide. A moving dateline is not a deadline. Given all the information you have, the experience you possess, the time you were given, what’s the best decision you will make now?

So, what will it be?

To infinity and beyond?

Eventually, you only have that much energy and finite time.

You cannot expect to do everything. You want to have some form of balance? Write a contract with yourself.

Decide what your possibilities are and what your necessities are.

Necessities are your priorities. Get those done.

Possibilities are a liability when not managed well on your get done list.

You only have so much resources and your CPU can only run so much. Before sleep deprivation sets in and kills everything.

How believable can you be?

It is very possible, even your best friend do not always say good things about you behind your back. Perhaps, less than flattering things. Chances are you have also done the same. Sometimes.

Your friends don’t always talk good about you, why would you expect your customers to ALWAYS talk good about you? Why worry so much about the bad comments on a blog here and a Facebook there?

Now, I am not saying ignore it. I am saying don’t worry too much about it. Give the ecosystem of online communities more credit than that. Eventually, if you are the right kind of brand (just as you are the right kind of person), more favorable comments will be made about you. And good things eventually float to the top.

A few bad things in its midst makes the good things more believable.

When are you starting a fire?

Disrupting yourself allows you to invigorate. When drastic changes happen either by design or by default? Embrace it.

Smile when you get sacked. Laugh when you resign without a job.

Disruption by default in life is like a forest fire. Disruption by design is like controlled forest fires. Both invigorate the ecosystem. It allows the forest to renew.

Disruption allows new seeds to grow within you too. Those hidden from the sunlight and have never been discovered.

Disruptive invigoration. Discover rejuvenation.

When should they take you out?

I am quoting this based on memory. I think Leo Burnett said something like this, “The only indispensable man in the history of mankind is Adam himself.” And how true.

How often do we see the huge egos in the marketing and advertising industry strutting around like they are irreplaceable?

And most times, those who feel they are irreplaceable are actually the stumbling block to better growth for the organization.

Consider this; the constant glow of your ego is blinding you. Keep your ego in a safe. Things may become clearer for you. Stepping away lets other people shine and also open up to what can be better for the organization. With you the results are good, without you the results could be great.

Whoever that replaces you, if they do better than you, good for them. If they don’t, well then – you would have proven your case.

In any case, when you step aside you create more space for growth for yourself anyway. 

Where are you going to sit next?

What heroic stories can you tell?

You would have at one time or another been victimized or feel victimized.

To be able to move on you need to change your mindset. Forgive and forget they say. Easier said than done. And perhaps so. But what if you changed your story? 

You are the story you tell yourself. And if you want to move on, you need to tell yourself a better story. Become the mythological hero that you are, it’s written in you.

For example, how do you become a famous Roman general (insert your name here)tilius Liberalis? 

First and foremost, get out of the ‘poor old me’ mindset. Get with it already. Stop telling yourself why things happen TO you. Things happen FOR you. Not TO you. There is no why and how. There is no good nor bad. Whatever happens happens. Things just are. You only need to feel. The energy that you get, renews you.

How many times do you have to pity yourself?

What is your price for improvement?

Improvement necessitates change.

You can’t fry an egg without breaking the shell. For a forest to rejuvenate, forest fires are a necessary part of the process.

If you are the mindful kind, change is purposeful. You seek things to improve. You embrace discomfort in the face of changing fortunes.

If you aren’t mindful, you think change is disruptive and bad. So, you want improvement but you dislike change. Sorry, no can do.

Buy into change and get improvement free.

Are you ready to change for free?
