There are three types of people
in the world ...
those who Make Things Happen ...
those who Watch Things Happen ...
and those who Wonder ... What Happened?
Which one are you?
Those Who Make Things Happen ...
People who "Make Things Happen" have vision, a strategy and a plan. They move in the direction of their vision and based upon the feedback they receive from the environment, whether favorable or unfavorable, they determine next steps. They revisit their vision, strategy and plan and realign when necessary by adjusting and modifying their strategy, plan and behaviors to continue moving forward toward their outcomes. These people know that taking ownership and responsibility for their contributions has a direct correlation to the outcomes they achieve.
Those Who Watch Things Happen ...
People who "Watch Things Happen" are spectators. They sit on the sidelines witnessing the success of others wishing they could get a lucky break rather than choosing to participate in life. This happens to people only because they lack their own vision, a strategy, a plan and the belief that all things are possible.
Those Who Wonder...What Happened?
People who "Wonder ... What Happened?!" have no vision, no strategy, no plan and take no action! These people believe that life happens to them and they have no control or say in the matter. They are reactive to situations rather than proactive. In other words, if life was considered a movie, these people would be playing the role equivalent of an "extra" or a "walk on".
We all assume different roles in our lives. On a personal level, we are parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, cousins, friends, etc. In business, we are Executives, Leaders, Coaches. Colleagues, Team Members, Mentors, etc. Society often dictates to us how these roles should be played. Here's the truth, each of us individually gets to choose how we want to define these roles. We are surrounded by examples. Some are good examples and others, well, they are poor examples. Find the examples that best demonstrate the qualities and characteristics that resonate the most with you, demonstrate those behaviors and create each of your roles the way you define it. Keep in mind, it's always better to be the best version of yourself rather than a knock off of someone else.
