End Of An Era

CLOSURE

Sunsets can be metaphors for both happy and sad experiences. They represent the closure of a significant event like death but also signify change and the commencement of a new cycle for rebirth.

Today marks the last day from a 6 1/4 years stint of life spent in a place I never really enjoyed and should not have endured being in for so long. And even though this work environment has mostly made me feel unhappy, I've stayed, in part because I believed the alternatives were no better. This has not been the case at all.

Many of us are living this false reality. There's no logical reason for staying in an unhappy workplace or failed relationship just on a belief. The only thing holding us back from making our lives better - is ourselves. We just need to be brave and take the necessary steps, yet many are unable to because they feel hopeless to make the change. 

Staying ahead of the Curve

BELIEVE IN THE WHY

If we wish to follow the truest path in life, we need to identify the reason why we want to take it. Innovators in business have identified where their products have been successful over their competitors, because they have started from the very heart of why they are doing what they do.

A study about Diffusion of Innovations shows us where the greatest achievers move their products through and past the point in the curve where success is realised. In the following video, Simon Sinek identifies where success comes from the heart and by starting with the question 'Why' we choose to do what we do, we can all be more successful in life.
