Can You Cause Renewal?

Monarch Butterfly, Just After Leaving Its Chrysalis

What if renewal were to be your major theme for this coming year?

Of course, you may want to stay with what you have because everything seems perfect right now.

If so, that’s wonderful. And in that case, you’ll want to focus on making easy improvements.

Yet, you may be destined for some serendipity.

This can happen because often the most incredible changes find you. Then those changes take you to greater levels of achievement, awareness, or success.

For example, I was able to take the above photo because I gave a presentation about “What Birds Want to Tell Us.”

And yes, I know this is a simple example about two events are completely unrelated.

But that presentation led to an e-mail that led to a conversation that led to a friendship that led to the gift of a chrysalis.

Now, there is a catch.

In order for serendipity to find you, you must be visible – or findable.

So here are suggestions to consider for this new year:

1) Be active in professional or social organizations that relate to your skills and values. This will provide connections that lead to relationships that lead to opportunities.

2) Spend some time reflecting upon the legacy you want to create. This will help identify actions you can take.

3) Make your values the foundation for your actions and plans. This will show others who you are.

And then let life go.

By the way, these are a basic part of managing any career or interest.

I wish you the best as you amaze yourself.

Much success,

Steve Kaye
