Taking Initiative!

Dear Reader,


“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” – George Bernhard Shaw (Mrs. Warren’s Profession 1893)

Apart from Personalised goal, another Step in Taking Initiative is – Being Proactive.

 “It means taking “action” when there is no guidance.”

A common question is ‘how do I know that something is going to happen in the future that requires attention now?’ Experience does help at this stage. But if you don’t have experience, then you might feel stuck.

The key to mastering ‘Being Proactive’ is having “Intentional Long term Plans”

When you have an intentional long term plan, you are better prepared to respond, control and affect the outcome.

The windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. — Tom Daschle

Start putting together these 4 Long Term Plans and you’ll master Being Proactive easily.

Plan 1 – Your Life Plan – If you truly know what you plan to do in 15 years’ time, you can make some incredible and sound decisions today. That is being proactive.

Plan 2 – Yearly Plan – Although I put yearly, you can extend this to 5 year plans. If in 3 years’ time, you plan to go into consultancy and one of your company’s clients is a difficult consultancy company, and they require someone from your company to be posted there. While others are contemplating and trying to make a decision, you will proactively say ‘here I am, send me’, because you had a plan.

 Plan 3 – Weekly Plan – This is very applicable to your workplace and personal life. Plan your week ahead. This way you can easily anticipate issues, and mitigate them before they even occur.

Plan 4 – Daily Planner – You might have heard this many times, and here it is again. Plan your day before the day fully starts. Some people do it the night before; some people do it very early on the day. If you have a mental and task list picture of tomorrow, you’ll be proactive when tomorrow comes (almost automatically

When you plan ahead for long enough, you become proactive rather than reactive.

 

Have a wonderful moment!

Acting under the grace of GOD!

Rev. Jim Solomon

In the midst of turbulence, it takes only the grace and wisdom of God to be composed and act extra-ordinarily.  

         

This was the case of a yet to be identified little girl of about 6years old, who ran out of the school building covered in blood from head to toe and the first words she said to her mom when she got outside was, "Mummy, I'm okay but, all my friends are dead" the Rev. Jim Solomon, pastor of New Hope Community Church in Newtown, Connecticut, told the news agent in a report that is  aired Sunday.

 

The girl happened to be the only child who made it out alive of a first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School last week — by fooling the gunman into thinking she was  dead, the family pastor said.

 

In his words, "the little girl couldn't have survived outside divine intervention. She has wisdom beyond her years!"

Remembering Gandhi!!!

Mahatma Gandhi

Yesterday marked 143rd birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the man who believed that non-violence is the essence of all religions. He was born October 2, 1869.

 

During his life, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world.

 

Father of the nation(as proclaimed by Indians) was assassinated on January 30, 1948, in Delhi, by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who felt Gandhi was too sympathetic towards Muslims!

 

He is no more but his works are following him!

"Children exposed to sex on screen 'go on to be promiscuous'"

A study recently conducted has found that Children who watch films with a high sexual content tend to lose their virginity earlier and have more partners.

The researchers said "movies could have this effect on adolescents because of a personality trait they dub ‘sensation-seeking’."

"Between the ages of ten and 15, the tendency to seek more novel and intense stimulation of all kinds peaks. The wild hormonal surges of adolescence makes judicious thinking a bit more difficult."

He added that greater exposure to sexual content in movies at a young age actually led to a higher peak in ‘sensation-seeking’ during adolescence.

Parents, "train up your children in the way of the Lord...!"

A year ago this week, twenty-four (24) people were killed in an attack on UN House in Abuja, Nigeria. We remember them.

In his word, the UN Resident Coordinator in Nigeria, Daouda Toure said “Although the devastating attack took the lives of our colleagues and partners and maimed many people, all of whom were in the building in the pursuit of service to humanity, our spirits have not been dampened,”

“Their death mobilizes us more than ever before. Their sacrifice will not be in vain,” he added. “We will strive to pursue our work for the people of Nigeria for the continuance of peace and stability of this great nation, and the socio-economic development of all...”

He reaffirmed that the UN system in Nigeria will continue on its mission “to assist in improving the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms.”
