If a student, recollect the
first days in college. If a teacher, rewind to the early days of the new career.
If working, recall the memories of fresh employment. If in business, envision
the start-up to entrepreneurship. If in an organisation, reconnect with the immediate
emotions when you were inducted. If in a relationship, remember when it all
began!
Early days on every path are
ones of happiness and hope. The happiness is born of the recognition that the
opportunity is a true privilege. The hope arises of the vision of walking the path
to the dreams that beckon. We are seized by the emotion of excitement because
we look forward to the new challenges, fresh experiences and varied team
members we will bond with.
However, more often than not,
for the most of us, when we come back to the present moment, we find that
excitement missing. The reason is obvious. The road seems less inviting because
we have lost sight of the original invitation that the road offered us. Tediousness
has set in by the mechanical approach to plod the path but lose sight of the real
invitation.
In the early days, the invite
was clear in all its multiple hues: the attitude of gratitude... the sensing of
opportunity... the desire to acquire fresh knowledge and skills... the passion
to measure up to challenges... the resolve to better the previous best... the willingness
to team up with fellow travellers. The diverse dimensions of the inviting road would
unite to impact our approach.
To reclaim the same excitement,
we need to see that same invite, again! Then, the same emotions will revisit bringing
along the original hope and happiness... the earlier resolve and willingness...
the similar passion and vision... the past positives influencing the present to
progress on the path to see delight in every challenge, every load!
Reclaim the earlier dimensions of the inviting road...
‘Unite to impact’ them to see delight in every load!
