Personal Leadership for Women: Do You Wait for Things to Happen, or Do You Make Things Happen?

People that make things happen know what they want, they develop a plan to make it happen, implement the plan, and regularly evaluate their results.  If they are achieving the results they want, great.  If not, they reevaluate their plan, revise it as necessary, and implement the new plan.  They continuously do this.  Because of this, they make things happen.  They get what they want.

Other people may go through the motions of developing and implementing plans, but mostly they are waiting for things to happen.  They are waiting for someone else to do things for them, provide for them, care for them.  They are waiting for that perfect job or relationship to magically appear.  They are waiting for life to come to them.

People that make things happen go after life, they go after what they want.  They also take full and complete responsibility for their life.

What type of person are you?  Do you wait for things to happen?  Or do you make things happen?

I am proud to say that I am someone that makes things happen.  If you are, too, great!  If you are not, I suggest that you think about becoming someone who makes things happen.  Personal and professional life is much fuller and more satisfying when you make the life you want rather than waiting for it to magically appear.
