How Do I Keep Moving Forward:
The future is a scary idea to think about. It can be overwhelming because of the unknown. How does one set themselves up for success in the future? I believe that is through always striving to improve oneself and not be afraid of uncomfortable situations. I always want to have a growth mindset. This is why I decided to go back to MSU to finish my second Masters Degree. I could have easily taken the easy road, but would that have been a good growth mindset? Now that I am finished with that section in my life... what's next?
There are three main areas I want to continue this mindset moving forward. These are how can I motivate others? Always be proactive but learn from the past and control my future. Doing little things to make big changes.
How Can I Motivate Others:
I enjoy helping people grow and achieve their life and career goals. Helping people develop is a passion of mine. It's one of the main reasons I returned to finish my MAED. Currently, I am talking CEP-802-730 - Dev Positive Attitudes Learn. This class is opening up my future way of thinking on how I can motivate others, but what also drives people and motivates them. What makes them tick? Learning what motivates others is a valuable skill that can be used in any aspect of life. It's a skill that I am just starting to learn through school and work experiences.
Always Be Proactive But Learn From The Past:
People get complacent and hate change. That is why I always force myself to try new things. Growing up I loved learning about history/leadership. Since I have grown older I have focused less on reading (This needs to change.).
There are a lot of great benefits to reading each and every day. These include vocabulary expansion, improving memory, stress relief, and knowledge enhancement... the more you know right? Along with this, a lot can be learned from the past that can help one's self in the future. Moving forward I am going to start working on reading at least one chapter a night to grow my knowledge base in leadership and history. In can only make me better.
Control My Future:
I am constantly thinking about an old poem called Invictus. At the end of the poem, it says " I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul" (Please refer to the About Me page for the link to the poem). How do I be proactive and control my future?
One way is to continue learning new ideas and ways to think. This is why I am so versatile with my educational background and moving forward will continue to do so. Problem-solving will be a focus moving forward and will help take me where I want to go in life. This is why I have started looking into Sigma Belt Programs. This will be another skill to add to my "tool belt" that will make me more efficient and a better problem solver. To control life one cannot hide but take problems head on.
