I’ve Got Issues . . .

Don’t we all? Whether personal or professional, how do we get from issues to impact?

This is not a comfortable road. It requires some alignment, balancing and maintenance. Sound familiar? Keep reading. I promise that what follows carries the power to change the trajectory of any issue.

Choosing not to see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Recognize it, and get comfortable doing just that. This is the first and most important step.

“Accept” consists of two syllables that are so easy to say, but learning to accept couldn’t be more difficult. The good news is, this step opens the pathway to choice.

Throwing a rock into the water creates ripples, some short lived and visible, others forever unseen. Acknowledge the impact. It’s there whether you realize it or not. Accountability lives and thrives in acknowledgment, and sustainability is supported by the two.

Issues never go away, and problems arise when we believe that they do. Transform them into a historical pattern and reference the points of triumph that they are. We live them, and we experience them, but they don’t have to come back.

Allowing issues to rest and dismantling the cycle requires recognition, acceptance, acknowledgment and transformation. These steps, combined with the adhesive called commitment, will alchemize issues into stepping stones of impact that are part of the staircase of excellence.
