When it’s Time to Change, Do it!
I met today’s topic three times this week. I ran into my dear
friend at Home Depot where I was buying yet more flowers,
vegetables and soil amenities. What a chance meeting. Her form of
creation is the business she runs – bringing out the brilliant
marketing in solopreneurs. She shared that she realized she could
not continue to create from the old ideas and inspirations, even
though they were less than a couple years old. She had to create
from who she was now, what she was learning now. Always generating
from here forward.
Then Sue Walden wrote the same theme in her ezine. She was
preparing to do her one day workshop, “Living Beyond Your Limits”
in the UK and found that she did not have her folder and handouts.
She said, Why not re-create it? Times have changed and I am not
the same person I was when I designed it 2 years ago. I wonder
what it would look like now? She did re-create it and it’s better
than ever.
Finally, Patrick Ryan wrote about change in his mon thy ezine,
“Awakened Wisdom”, He says the way things are tend to stay the
same, homeostasis. Change needs to reckon with that force – not be
deterred.
I’ve been working Emerging Brilliance for 10 years now. I’ve made
incremental changes over the years – and I am very different than I
was 10 years ago in my business. Yet it feels like a bigger change
is upon me. I asked myself, what if I close it down and let my
expression in the world re-emerge? What would show up? The first
thing that showed up is, “you can’t shut down!” “You’re branded,
you’re established.” “Keep it going the same – you’re too busy to
change.” The thing that is persisting, in this case my business,
really does have its own inertia of existence. Yet what wants to
emerge now that has no room to exist while I busily continue
business as usual? What old programs, ideas, services are
persisting? What brilliance is waiting to bloom and just needs
some sunshine and room to grow?
Action
Take a look at your own life. We’re in a time of upheaval locally,
nationally, and globally. Change is upon us. What changes are
calling you forth, are demanding attention? What is it time to
end? To begin? Who do you need on your team to make the change
happen? Who do you need to be? What’s stopping you? Great! Now
take the most inspired, appropriate action to allow and embrace
this change.
