Few days ago, I have the privilege to do a coaching session with the youths after the completion of i-Succeed, Becoming Better Leader for Successful Future. We started with an interesting learning experiential event where all participants were blindfolded. They were given a goal. Initially, some participants stayed where they were. Some moved about wildly. Some held tightly onto someone. As time passes, they explored alternative means of communication. Slowly, one among them took the leadership, influenced all to follow his leadership and met the goal of the learning event.
Stepping out into the roller coaster world, there will be unexpected twists and turns in the dynamic world. Confusion, distortion, anxiety, doubt and fear storm against us. In the midst of such dark storms within, we need to make a choice to step out still. Yes, it is alright to stay where we are for a while as we step out. Yet we cannot stay there for too long because it is likely to cripple us.
How do we get out of it then?
Remember your life goals.
Remember your strengths.
Remember, Learned-Unlearn-Relearn is an ongoing process, almost all of the time, an essential cool spirit to stay fit in the ever changing and challenging world.
Look around us. Open wide our eyes.
Get hold of a coach or mentor that will be your light during this phase of stepping out.
Process the feelings, shape the beliefs and strengthen the skills, focus on strengths to go forthward.
"Don't give up. The beginning is always the hardest."
It is good to have someone who has gone before, to come alongside at this phase.
