Be the Change !! Time for Change

Be the change

Each morning you would like to wake up expecting a day filled with joy, enthusiasm, feeling satisfied and you know that ready for something more sort of energy .

Does this really happen when you are working in a corporate world and surrounded with good and sometimes toxic people ?? 

Not really , but yeah “if you could be the change” things work out well .

You will definitely find every morning a happy one to start with.

Waking up doesn’t just mean getting out of your bed  but it is getting out of your own way and explore yourself.

In recent times I had become more or less a very sensitive person (which , trust me doesn’t work in corporate world).

 I felt sorry that I couldn’t control everything that happens around me, regretted that I couldn’t correct things  and literally wanted to quit working and sit at home doing nothing .

Not really sure how did I think of this  .guessing..that it was frustration handling too many things at work .

I couldn’t show frustration at work , but really felt less interested waking up early and going to office .

It was never a part of something that made me happy , like it did before .

It was never the same before , may be the team change , amount of work and responsibility made me think so much and had a thought of giving up .

Well , one fine day during this bad break I see Deepak and as always wanted his advise and tell him about the stress level here and about moving out of work place .

Do I really say him?

But what ? That I wanted to quit workplace because someone at work did not treat me good or people come to me asking too may questions , I’m unable to meet my targets because of which.

Or because I’m frustrated ?

What do I tell him …ough !!!

This sounds so silly to me,I mean yea it does of course ..!!

Finally I pinged him because I did not wanted to walk upto him and say all this .

I pinged saying , I have become more like regretting person and with lot of complains.

And he replies –“yes , cribbing girl “

I said –“I know , but you made a mistake sending me to this team , I cannot work with people around in this team“

His immediate response was-“You work good and hence moved you there “

Now this gives me some sense of achievement , but then looking people around

I was still not happy and said I’m frustrated here and cannot deal with people around .

And his reply made me think about it  –

“not deal with it..but understand and change”

I did ask him what was that change he was talking about , but then He had to leave for a meeting and maybe he left it to me to think of and did not reply .

Change ~ I took some time but maybe understood well , with the change in team I forgot that I am supposed to be mentally strong.

Here are few things you should try to develop mental strength.

  1.  Be Grateful-

Instead of focusing on all the wrong things that are happening in your life, practice being grateful for what you have.

I have read in one of Rhonda Byrne’s book that Gratitude helps you changing your attitude from negative to positive .

Appreciate things that happens to you or you come across .

  2.  Don’t be afraid of change

Don’t allow yourself to dwell in comfort zone instead try to make yourself even better.

Try to find opportunities and grab them.

This is not possible unless you have faith in yourself and your ability to adapt to changes .

Keep reminding yourself that growth comes from change.

  3.  Be Patient

If you have to be mentally strong then learning to be patient is very important .

Do not blame yourself for what happened and don’t waste time thinking about what could have been done .

Learn from your mistakes and avoid similar ones in future .

Keep working hard with your skills ,efforts and persistence then wait patiently for the results to come .

  4.  Respect and Appreciate

Definitely try not to compare yourself with others but don’t forget others have their own way of working and own skills which could be better than yours.

Don’t sit and wait for others opinions this is one of the sign of being mentally strong .

Take time to appreciate your colleagues and their achievements instead of showing them the J factor , This way you have an opportunity to learn things from them which you were not aware of .

Try to mentor someone may be directly which brings out fruitful results for the team and also help someone succeed .

  5.  Do not Give up

Failure is always been part of success which definitely has to be faced , not all the time can someone be successful.

Do not criticize if you failed once , instead find out what went wrong and try to correct this .

Most of them fail to make an attempt again because they can’t take the failure at first and start criticizing themselves or sometimes luck .

Not this time but next time you should definitely succeed .
