Kaizen Thought: Opportunities don’t come to you if you stay hidden
Opportunities rarely find those who remain unseen. Success requires us to leave our comfort zone and move toward areas rich with opportunities.
Making progress requires individuals to initiate actions and build relationships while also advocating for themselves.
Reflect on how frequently we have possessed important insights yet chose to remain silent about them. How often have we depended on others to recognize our value instead of pushing forward to develop ourselves? Success does not happen in the background. To make progress we need to actively pursue opportunities wherever they arise.
Taking initiative might involve expressing your ideas during meetings while also seeking new challenges and finding mentors who can provide learning opportunities. Growth requires effort and stepping outside our comfort zones because that’s where real development takes place.
