S. H. I. F. T.

If we are truthful, we can all say that we have taken more classes, been to more seminars, and watched more videos than we have Implemented. It is easy to just absorb information, we can almost do that in our sleep.

So why is it so easy for us to take in information but it seems to be hard for us to put it into practice? Most of the time it has to do with information overload. We don’t have a plan for the information that we get. Most of us don’t know what it is that we need. This leads us to get all we can and then can all you get.

For us to make a S.H.I.F.T. in our life we have to be willing to take the information that we have been given and put it into practice. I remember a fellow Coach telling me that he had a potential client that shared with him about their displeasure from working with another Coach. After they finished talking about how much money they paid and how much time was spent he asked them a simple question. The question was, “How much of what they taught you have you implemented?” Their mouth just flew open and they were stopped in their tracks.

So many of us fall into the same category because we have a boatload of knowledge but very little to show for it.

For us to see the change that we want, at some point we have to take action. We have to put some feet to our faith and do it even if we are afraid. I’m reminded of the 1980’s cartoon G. I. Joe always ending with a moral of each story and they would recap the episode with a quick illustration and then the young children that they were teaching would say, “Now we know.” And the G. I. Joe’s agent would say that “Knowing is half the battle.” A lot of us know, we just need to do it!

What have you learned that you have yet to implement? What have you been exposed to that you have not done? What information are you sitting on?

If this pandemic has taught us anything it should be that we have to take action to see the change that we desire. I want to encourage you to put into practice those things that you have learned and do it now because tomorrow’s not promised.

Your dreams don’t have an expiration date but we do.

Next month we are going to look at how Fostering and developing our goals will get you closer than you are right now.
