Being an Agent of Change in Your Life

If you are having more bad days than good, you have the power to change this. The first step is to own your power. This is something a lot of people struggle with because to fully own your power means to fully accept that your choices are why your life is where it is at. This can be challenging, but, when we acknowledge that our choices have brought us to where we are at, we can begin to make better choices. If you are unhappy at work, in your relationships, or dissatisfied with your friendships, you can work the problem and make choices that create change. Ask yourself what aspects of each dynamic is making you unhappy. Once you have narrowed down the drivers of dissatisfaction, you can then own your part in creating them. This is because the only person we can control is ourselves.

Two of the most powerful change questions we can ask ourselves is “what part did I play in getting here” and “what part am I playing in staying here?” These two questions will hone in on behaviors that we need to change because they led us to the action point of “what can I do to make the situation better or allow me to leave and find a better situation”. To be an agent of change is a hyper responsible role in which we own that we are the drivers of our destiny. By asking yourself what you can do differently, you create action points that begin to unstick your life. You will begin to recognize and implement changes both big and small that improve your intimate relationships, work life, and friendships.

Taking ownership of where you life is at now and where it is headed allows you to change your trajectory. It is amazing how much small quality of life tweaks can change our perspectives. Once we acknowledge we are in the driver’s seat, we begin to feel empowered and reap the benefits of our actions. Having a life focus of more good days than bad and working towards our own definition of good is powerful. Taking note of the positive impact changes make in our life shifts our focus from what we do not have to what we can create. Stepping into our excellence and embracing our awesomeness is powerful. Once we embrace an agent of change mindset, we unlock our potential and begin to build the life of our dreams.
