Sometimes things just hit me like out of the blue and I wonder why didn't I think of that sooner!? And after the realization settles in I'm at such peace. This has happened several times recently at work with all the lessons I've amassed over the last 8 months of a project that is coming to a close. I honestly didn't realize that I learned so much, or that I was actually putting those lessons into action.
I find that I evolve at an interesting rate. Sometimes it feels as though nothing changes, and other times it's like I don't even remember how things used to be. And all the while I've maintained that I just need to be myself. Although I've changed over time through the lessons, the core of who I am remains the same.
And that's a great feeling. To not have to turn myself inside out to fit. It not only allows me to be authentic, but feels so true deep inside. I say what I mean, I mean what I say and I know how to say it as to not evoke negative reactions. It's a powerful feeling - to know I have learned so much!
It works in my personal life too. I've often talked about how I now take the time to tell people what they mean to me. And I certainly continue to do that - and with insightful precision. It's the reading of people that really resonates with me. And my ability to get to the heart of the matter. Yet to remain diplomatic.
It's a skill I've worked on for years in the business world. And I see it paying off. The honesty is always needed, and the ability to share information sensitively is crucial. And when put together it becomes an amazingly powerful combination to achieve great results!
