The roles you play at home and work must be in harmony---not requiring you to play different roles.
Although there are distinct competencies attached to each role, it is to your advantage to create a powerful personal synergy among all your roles.
Creating a more holistic paradigm of integration to your work and home life will help you from thinking you are running between very different life segments. The synergy saves you incredible problem-solving time and energy.
Overbooked lives and strong immunity to change try to keep us from relearning deeply ingrained habits. To make our intention a reality takes personal determination, practice, repetition and the support of others.
Pay attention to your intentions. Every year, we gain a clearer understanding that without positive change, decline is inevitable. The challenge is to recognize that what we are now tolerating can be reinvented by paying attention to our intentions.
From where you are to where you want to be. Self-directed learning helps you to discover an ideal vision of yourself, to feel motivated in developing the abilities necessary to get you where you want to be. This becomes the source of the energy required to work at the difficult and often frustrating process of change.
It's tough to do it alone. Find the support to help you get to where you want to be.. Others help us see things we are missing, affirm whatever progress we have made, test our perceptions and let us know how we are doing. They provide the context for our practice of the new rituals. Although the model is called self-directed learning, without others' involvement lasting change can't occur.
