How has your day gone so far? If you are like many people you went about your business today with some ups, and some downs. For some it may have been worse, or perhaps even better. Shaping our world is something that we CAN and should be doing. Nothing should be left to chance or placed in the hands of someone else. Gary Lew said this so well, “This is your world. Shape it or someone else will.”
We have the power and ability within ourselves to not only shape our world, but to create a life that is beyond our wildest dreams and imagination. We are not saddled with what someone else expects of us. One only has to look at the Special Olympics, or other people that have overcome significant hardship or challenges to do something great. So, why is that so many people, with the world at their fingertips and so many blessings and gifts in hand, can’t make a go at success or happiness?
Joel Osteen, in his book Your Best Life Now: 7 steps to Living at Your Full Potential, said, “You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.”
Each of us has potential and the God-given choices abilities to use that for something great. How we go about it, or how we shape our life to use these resources is entirely up to us. Cancer Registrars can easily get overwhelmed with rules, changes, guidelines, coding requirements and the constant change and shifting that is happening in healthcare today. But, even with all that, they can rise above it and change their world.
So, how are you shaping your world today? What do YOU do that makes a difference? What do YOU do that keeps you going no matter what? Please share with us your tips and secrets. It is by sharing and helping one another that we grow.
In closing, consider this statement by Maria Shriver, who I think is an excellent example of someone who has risen above the fray many times. “Make the job a reflection of you, as opposed to you trying to fit into the job.” Cancer Registrars, does your work reflect well of you or are you swimming in self-doubt? Are you bringing your expertise to the table to meet the organization’s business need, or are you slumped back in your chair waiting for someone to come to you? Are you using your skills, talents and worth to shape and serve your world?
