Forget-me-not



The challenges of identity, comfort, and managing change are ever-present on our leadership journeys, and they require our close attention. Sometimes we can arrive at a new place (job, school, social-gathering, etc.) and try to become someone we think, "fits". We forget some of the traits that led us to that place at that time. As we expose ourselves to new people and opportunities, learn, grow, and develop new skills, we should strive to remain authentic and true to ourselves. True to our core, the mental and spiritual place that drives our thinking, and inspires us. 

As we immerse ourselves in new surroundings, or find ourselves in new situations, we should feel encouraged to be our true selves and not allow the power of the present moment to deter us from maintaining our natural states. Sometimes I need to be reminded to "forget-me-not", because next to my faith, not forgetting who I am gives me a cornerstone for all my movements and dealings. I think it does for all of us.
