Sustainability vs Change


This is a new year.  There is newness in change, however, Can there be sustainability in change?  Firstly, something needs to happened before it can be sustained.  Then, we really need to understand what we want to sustain from change for it to matter in our lives.

If I take note of what is repeated constantly over my life and I check the order in which I do it, maybe I can produce sustainability in my changes?  Or maybe not.  Having a sequence or continuous flow does not make something sustainable. Sustainability can only be of value when a pinnacle of growth is realized or attained.  That is, if we want to receive a million dollars at he end of the year and changes at the beginning of the year prove to make the million dollars available at the end does it mean, I wish for that million dollars to be sustained?  Rather, it is quite likely that goal may change to two million dollars.  What we wish to sustain is based on desirable outcome which can be changed at any point in time.  Ha Ha!

If I study the perception of people to my constant reactions and the consequences of these reactions can I produce sustainability in my changes?  Sometimes, we need pause and think about what changes need to be made instead of trying to box change into a sustainable piece of crap! Actually the only perceptions we believe are the ones we choose to believe if we are not careful with our options.

Is sustainability in change an oxymoron?  Is becoming a sustainability entity necessary? Let's look at oxymoron.  An oxymoron is contradictory terms which appear in conjunction to highlight the absurdity of our thinking at times - Sustainability vs Change. 

Caught you !!!

Keeping things simple when it comes to change and the new year will do you very well, when it comes to achieving goals.  Let's not count calories while eating the cake and run a marathon while looking at the television and seeing others running around the world.

Sustainability vs Change are two words I will be using individually through this year because my progress depends on both and not either or.

Nugget From My Past - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Hi everyone, I just want to share a story from my past with you.    Straight out of school as a young girl I formed a Sports club.  This club consisted of youths from my community who participated in Netball, Football, Basketball and even Table tennis.  We played at a competitive level, and won many games and trophies.  From an early age I loved and cared for people and believed that 'teamwork makes the dream work!' I guess I was an ' influencer'  from an early age!   Life has a way of playing jokes on us -  imagine, I am in business developing and influencing positive change in others! Today I help people develop themselves overall, in many different areas such as goal setting, building confidence, self-esteem, and life skills. Thank you for listening, I look forward to your thoughts and comments Stay blessed and stay focused Connect with me;  Email :  traininganchor2017@gmail.com  Phone:   868-306-7291; 868-784-0529   Facebook

A Piece of my Present - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Thinking About The Present I just disrupted my life, I changed jobs. I went from a wave of mixed emotions to feeling fantastic! The enormity of the emotions which came with the changes were - fear, joy,  uncertainty , relief, sadness, release & anticipation.  I went from receiving a salary to pulling all my skills together. What a reality check for me ... keeping it real. Based on what  I’ve learnt from this experience there are two things that I wish to share:   Change is the only constant in life.   Jesus Christ remains the same.

Is It Possible To Change Someone?

Image
No one has the power to change someone.  The ability for change from a human perspective is within all of us. It is a myth that one person can change the thinking of another based on social and cultural norms. In reality the power of influence can be given credit for changing the position of another. In relationships there is a need for acceptance, love and to be needed. Sometimes this desire for emotional connection can push an individual to accept "God complex behavior".  We are not, nor can we ever be, God to someone!  As sated above the power to change must come from within the individual. I tried to change someone I cared about and it did not work.  My persistent efforts did not work because the individual did not have a desire to change in the way I wanted.  When the individual did not change as I wished, I felt sick within because I did not get my way. That was selfish.   A friend told me "Don't mistake myself for God in anyone's life&quo
