Gotta get out of the Comfort Zone!
My youngest left home last Sunday on the adventure of her life – university studies in Melbourne, two states away!
She and a mate made the decision, planned it all and are currently driving from Brisbane to Melbourne on their own (Silent scream from parents…)
But we are all on a journey, and it is up to us to take control of the destination.
And in 2022, in taking control we need to stretch ourselves, and get out of our comfort zones – challenge the status quo, OUR status quo.
Ask the why question – and the why-not question.
Most things have an upside and a downside – we all know about Social Media, how it is eating our brains, turning them to mush.
But there is good also. SM has and continues to allow minorities to be heard. When governments try to oppress people, most governments find it difficult to stop the story getting out on the Socials in 2022.
And yes, sometimes the minorities are dangerous, or just plain dumb.
My point is that if we want to stay in control of the destination we must be in the loop, and we need to constantly challenge ourselves and everything that we know.
Sometimes this is hard to do, even scary. Like they say, if it does kill you, it makes you a better person (and leader).
I try to challenge myself every day in at least one little way. Challenge a belief, break out of my c-zone and see what is on the other side.
Don’t break out for the sake of breaking out – break out to see what is on the other side, because it might be worthwhile.
How do you maintain control of the destination?
Just keep the screaming silent…
If getting out of your zone in the VUCA world is something makes you want to scream, jump over to my diagnostic tool and book a free call to talk with me. I’m energised for the VUCA world of 2022!GottaC
