This made up part of an encouragement to me some years back when I was berating myself for my faults and failings – annoyingly too often in the same areas.
The actual line was: “Janice, you are a work in progress”. Even just thinking about it now, makes me stop pause, accompanied by a contented sigh. You see it was such a relief to have those words so lovingly, and without judgement or consternation said. An affirming tone accompanied them, which made me hope for change.
Why have these words come to mind now? Because I read a similar sentiment in a book I’m currently reading about leadership.
I believe the words: “work in progress” have much to say to those of the creative persuasion – whether related to the person, or the creations of the person.
The line from a song that I woke up with this morning. – Not sure why as I can’t remember listening to it recently.
“I am the change I want to see” I mused on the words, and my first thoughts were, of the agreeing variety. I then went onto wonder what the connotations to this concept were… So I decided to do a google search on them, though I realise now I actually searched for: “I am the change I want to be”. – Maybe this was subconcious…
Anyway, only 3 results came up and they brought me to a video: Be The Change That You Want To See.
It interested me, so thought I’d share it with you. Let me know what you think of the idea of being the change you want to see or be.
