The Transitional You (#2)

Having established the fact that you are a transition person, I would like to go deeper on the subject of who a transitional person is.
From Stephen R. Covey’s definition of a transition person, we got to realize that a transition person is that person who breaks the flow of negative occurrences in there generation. In other words, he is a person who consciously choose to be different. He is that person who identifies a problem in his environment and take actions to solve the problem. He is essentially a problem solver.
Transitional people are not mere talkers. They are people who realize that for them to identify a problem, the onus rest on them to solve it and they have in their possession all that is needed to solve it. God won’t show you a problem or even send his word to you for you to have a head knowledge of it, God reveals things to us because he wants a response from us. He wants us to do something about it.
They saw negative situations but instead of talking, complaining, pushing blames, or debating over it, they made some decisions. These decisions constitute the core attributes/characteristics of a transition individual, and they are;
  • They choose to stop the flow.
  • They took actions, definite steps to stop the flow.
  • They dared to different from others. They had a strong character and imbibed principles which made them stand out among their peers.
  • They believed in possibilities.
With the present state of the nation, don’t you think it is time to stop talking and take a different approach to solving our problems? Talking and complaining was the approach of our predecessors, and we can see how far we have come. I believe it’s time we took our destiny in our hands and stop the blaming game.
In the next series of post, I would be discussing this characteristics in-depth. But until then, meditate on these wise sayings. God bless you.
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked thistles [WEED] and planted flowers where I thought a flower would grow. –ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Duty is a very personal thing, It is what comes from knowing the need to take action and not just a need to urge others to do something. –MOTHER TERESA
God gives every bird a worm, but HE does not throw it into their nest. –SWEDISH PROVERB
Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, This I am today; that I will be tomorrow. –LOUIS L’AMOUR
