The back to school season offers similar feelings as approaching January 1st and the start of a new year. It is a time of renewal, resetting, restarting, and thinking about the road ahead through a fresh lens. You may not be heading back to school right now, so if not what are your next steps? What are your goals? What keeps you motivated?
This is a good time to check in with yourself to see if you are on track to reaching your goals in life. If not, what is stopping you? Where and why are you procrastinating? What is THE very next step you need to take to make you feel productive and on track to reaching your goals? It could be as simple as sending an email, making a phone call, visiting a website, completing an application, or attending a networking event. Whatever it is, do it!
Maybe it is going back to school. There are more options to attend school now than ever before and it is never too late. You can attend in-person, remotely, or hybrid. You can attend via independent study or with the guidance and teachings of an instructor. You can attend for a full semester of 15-16 weeks or you can find shorter sessions of 13-weeks, 12-weeks, 7-weeks, and in some cases, 4-weeks! There are no excuses. Go to the website of the school you might be interested in and fill out an application today! OR it could be a community program offering and not an official school. There are many versions of degrees, certificates, and other credentials you can earn.
Regardless of what your goals may be, take the next step today to move you in the direction to reach your destiny. At times, we can be out own worst enemies and talk ourselves out of things. It does not have to be that way. Get excited, get motivated, and take action. Your dreams can come true if you take the steps to make them. Much success!
