Work in progress

Posted on by philipdodson

I am a work in progress.

You are a work in progress.

That’s how we can choose to be for our entire lives.

There is never a finished product. Each stage we can learn, get even better, move up a level.

It’s a choice though.

Many times we can become comfortable, settled, think we are there. That’s OK too, there is nothing wrong with being comfortable.

However, often with staying still comes regret, comes disappointment.

The work in progress is best slow and steady, small incremental improvements, not giant leaps.

Finally, we can choose to enjoy the journey instead of settling for a particular destination or outcome.

Being a work in progress leaves us open, creative, resilient and genuine.

No good blaming the Kardashians

Society talks about role models, often referring to politicians, or sports players or actors and so on. Most often we look to celebrities, as a society, many seem to be in awe of them.

The fact is, every single one of us is a role model to someone, maybe many. Society isn’t this nebulous thing, each and every one of us forms it.

If we want to see change, we can choose to be inspiring, we can choose to be accountable for how we behave and we can choose to lead. We can choose to step up and be a role model for the people who matter.

No good blaming the Kardashians or some politician.
