Upturning The
Status
Quo
Hi and thank you for joining me for this week's blog post "Upturning The Status Quo!
So let me begin this post by defining what "Status Quo" really means (and no it is not just the name of a highly successful band!)
The dictionary definition of Status Quo is as follows
"The existing state of affairs, especially regarding social of political issues" "The way things are now!"
In my role as a Personal Development coach I consider it my duty to challenge my clients' status quo - because if they do not change they will continue to remain exactly where they are! That equates to my clients and I having exactly the same conversation a year from now!
Should that happen it would mean that I had been a crap coach!
So that said, let me ask you a question......
"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
I would hazard a guess that if you had to tell me your answer, a very high percentage would not be able answer the question immediately and there would be a lot of "erms" and "ums"!
You see we have (as a species) become exceedingly lazy, we sit there in our comfy warm house, in our comfy armchair, drinking our favourite tipple, then going to bed and then "we wake up every morning to alarm clock's warning, take the 8.15 into the city" alongside all the other people who are operating on auto-pilot!
So dear reader, I hope that this has proved to be a catalyst and that you take steps to do something that is new, outside of your comfort zone, and who knows? you might actually find that you like it!
I am Dave B and until the next time I will wish you the best things that life can give, have a great day, be safe be careful and above all remember:-
Don't predict the future - CREATE It!
