Message of the Day - We Cannot Be What We are Not...or Can We?

Good Morning,

 

This morning while driving to work and listening to the radio (traffic, weather, etc.) I heard the DJ say something about someone trying to be something that they are not and how they failed.  Since I am in the business of helping people be something better than they are, it caused me to ponder.

 

·         If we don’t have the knowledge and or experience on how to perform a task, then we most likely will fail when we try to perform it.

·         If we try to fulfill a role or position when we do not know what the duties and responsibilities of that role are, then we will most likely fail when we try to fulfill our duties.

·         If we try to get into an organization, or achieve an award when we have not completed the preliminary requirements (certification, training, etc.) then we will fail when we try to get in.

 

After pondering this, I had to accept that we truly could not be what we are not.

 

But, is this the end?

 

Are we up against a barrier or wall?

 

No, not at all.

 

While we cannot be what we are not, we can learn, train and practice being what we want to be.

 

That is:

 

·         We can get the knowledge or gain the experience to perform a task, is pretty much every field, and succeed.

·         We can learn how perform a function, to shadow someone who knows and performs the role, and learn to perform successfully ourselves.

·         We can get training, earn certifications and meet the entry requirements to successfully join the organizations we wish to join and earn the award we seek.

 

When we learn and grow daily, we can become what we are not. We can achieve what we thought impossible before.

 

When we do not try, we truly cannot be what we are not.

 

The choice is our own.

 

Enjoy!
