This is a day with many and varied meanings. First and foremost for me, it is my sister Renee’s birthday.
Happy Birthday Renee!
It is also a day that brings memories of friends in Washington DC, New Jersey and New York City, and of course the events in those areas eleven years ago. Memories of both joy and of great sadness. It is a day that changed lives in seconds.
9-11 taught me, among other things, that everything counts! What you do, what you say, where you go and how you serve — it all matters and makes a difference.
The world changes fast. September is one of the times of the year where we see those changes all around us. A few weeks ago Dick Durrance, photographer and speaker, published one of his great photos and the quote below:
“Just as the seasons bring about change in the world outside of us, so the adventure of living creates change inside of us. The trick, I am finding, is to somehow transform those changes into opportunities to grow.”
I believe Dick Durrance is spot on. The trick is learning how to embrace the changes in our lives and to find the opportunities each change brings.
We all face change — a new boss, losing a job, downsizing, or just learning new ways of doing the things we have always done.
Are you feeling lost, frustrated, or confused as you attempt to find the opportunities within a career transition? If so, here is an Action Tip for you.
Grab a piece of paper and make a list of all the things you have been able to do because of this time of transition. Maybe it is finally making the time for a daily walk, or taking your child or grandchild to his first day of school, or to have coffee in the morning with your spouse.
Make the list. Be grateful for all the opportunities in this change. It does all matter and make a difference.
