Don’t be pushed…

(Aly Pendlebury, Taming Tigers’ Operations Manager wasn’t sure whether or not she could write a blog. The rest of us reckoned that she certainly could. A quick £1 bet later and she accepted the challenge.
So here’s Aly’s first blog – feel free to leave a message on the blog or on Facebook if you like it.)

When Charles Unwin in the “Manual of Detection” by Jedediah Berry finds himself being pushed into a new job he doesn’t want, he is convinced it is a mistake.

When you consider agreeing to something that you believe to be wrong for you, is it because you are letting other people write your story. Who is holding the pen?  They may think that they know where you want to be and what you want to do – but do they really?  Are they party to your aspirations and the challenges that you want to face? It seems unlikely.

Can you say (unlike Charles) that you are following Rule 3 and “Heading in the direction of where you want to arrive, each day”, or has the steering wheel been taken out of your hands?

Remember – ACT BOLDLY and say STOP when you need to, however SCARY this may seem and however loudly the TIGER roars. Change your RULEBOOK and TAKE CHARGE.

Aly.
