Title: MOVING FORWARD – Part 2

By Bryan Arzani

First of all, moving forward requires that we are giving up something in the past. It may be a friend, job, team, view of ourselves, etc. We have realized that whatever that was, it’s time to shed it and grow a new skin. As Dr. Seuss said in Oh, The Places You’ll Go, “you have brains in your head; you have feet in your shoes; you can steer yourself any direction you choose”. Ah, if only it were as easy as making a rhyme out of words…some even nonsensical.

In order to steer ourselves, we have to know ourselves. Self-awareness is essential to moving forward. Oh, sure. You can move forward without it. You’ll head down some wrong roads, come up against washed-out bridges, re-take the same winding path again and again. This is not always a bad thing…..until it is.

Possessing self-awareness is essential to moving forward, regardless of your age or desired direction. Do you understand your communication style well enough to know when and how to adapt it, so you continue conversations rather than snap them shut? Are you aware of your motivators? At this point, many people make decisions about paths to take based on what someone else wants them to do or what poses the least resistance. But, are these highways taking you on a trip that makes you laugh and feel great to get up in the morning?
