I feel the need to write to you again and talk about a few things. I am aware of the uncertainties in our Nation’s economy and as always I try not be drawn into a negative narrative of what should be or what shouldn’t be; so I thought it best to show you how to thrive despite the prevailing conditions.
Let’s talk about “CHANGE”, by the way I hope you read my previous letters (www.iamewoma.blogspot.com.ng) and you are taking steps to apply and not just gather knowledge.
Truth is at some point in your life, You will be wrong, You will take a wrong step, make a wrong move, you will make wrong decisions, pursue wrong opportunities, listen and follow wrong advisers and feed a wrong relationship but my friend You must learn to fail, learn your lessons and then try again, this time, you will be aided by experience, and you will want to do better. When you are wrong then you will understand the concept of change, the very idea that change is essential to your life and to all that concerns you.
Change begins with responsibility, if you want to change something, take responsibility for it, blaming someone for what is wrong, doesn’t make wrong, right; blame changes nothing! And you cannot always make excuses for what is wrong. As a hustler, as a dreamer, always remember these immortal words “YOU CANNOT DEPOSIT EXCUSES”.
To navigate through life you must be flexible and embrace the dynamism of life. You need to know where you stand, how to adapt to change. All movement is not forward and not all change is progressive. You must not confuse mobility for progress and you must not confuse stagnancy for stability, activity doesn’t directly equate result.
The reason why I talked to you about knowledge (www.iamewoma.com.ng) is because Information precedes change. You have heard it been said that “Change is the only constant thing in life” and as true as that sounds, Change is not growth.
Let me quickly round this off so you can go back to doing what you love or what you are currently pretending to love.
Change is a process and because Change is a process then it must be deliberate. You cannot stumble into greatness, that is not an everyday event, if you want to change your circumstances, if you want to be better then you must have a plan, you must have a blueprint for where you want to be. Shouting or thinking Change doesn’t change things. You need a Plan.
Let me sound like a broken record, right now, Change is deliberate and it requires a plan and every plan requires process, process is the space between Planning and Performance and process requires commitment.
Hence my submission: - Change is commitment. If you want to change forward then you need to be committed to a plan and take responsibility.
