What's The Price Of Your Hat?
"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful." - Mark Victor Hansen
It's interesting when you stop and think how many hats we actually wear in our daily lives. For me it's: mother, wife, daughter, sister, advocate, speaker, mentor, life coach, therapist, friend, author, employee, entrepreneur ... and the list goes on and on and on. Each one of our individual lists can continue like a child's gift list during the holiday season but it doesn't have to be as exhausting - the multitude of hats can be interchangeable at any given time, delegating assignments and action items to another for the purpose of respite to exhale and collaboration to spread the tasks evenly, yet it's up to us to separate and give each one it's undue attention.
Balancing can be a difficult task to master, I agree, but it's not inconceivable to achieve. It's a matter of breaking each task down into incremental parts and finding the rights of passage by disseminating the goal, need, strategy and plan of action. The question lies not only in the efficiency but in the effectiveness of each individual task and justifiably so. Ranking them by priority in accordance with its importance, to you, and its particular situation and/or moment in time is definitely worth doing.
Remember, outcome is said to be ten percent of the situation and ninety percent of your reaction to it. Be proactive and plan accordingly. You can't be all things, to all people, all the time. All you can do is what you can and then allow yourself a moment to regroup before moving forward.
