5 Steps To Decide What To Do Next In Life

5 Steps To Decide What To Do Next In Life

Are you feeling stuck in life and have no idea what to do next? Do you feel paralyzed with fear at the very mention of change?

First off, you can be proud of reaching this state. It means you sense that your life is shifting.

Yet, knowing where to begin or what to do can be overwhelming. So, if you’re facing this decision, these GenuLines points are for you.

Below are five steps to help you decide what to do next in your life.

Take a Step Back

When you’re looking at what to do next in life, it’s imperative to stop and take a step back. Take a look at the big picture to identify where you want to go and what you want to do.

Too often, we struggle with all the ways of how to get there without fully knowing where ‘there’ actually is. We don’t take the time to highlight what’s working in our lives and what’s not.

So when we reach a crossroads, we’re baffled and unable to move forward. This is when taking a step back can help you specify where you want to go as you move on in life.

Understand What Fulfills You

Get to know what makes you you. Dig deep and do some soul-searching to understand what motivates you.

Ask yourself these questions: What drives me and makes me excited? What are my values and beliefs?

And, what contributions do I want to make to my community?

What’s important to me? What are the skills and talents that I bring to the table?

Explore Your Passions

Make a list of all the things that you’re passionate about and explore those options in more detail. It’s important to analyze your options on emotional and intellectual levels.

To do this, try to imagine how each one impacts your thought processes and your emotions. Do this step without worrying about any of the whys, should-haves, and would-nots.

Instead, connect more with your subconscious. Find out what resonates with you and your core values.

For instance, let’s say you value innovation and technology. You might look for positions at industry-leading businesses.

If family culture suits you might be better off seeking a job at a small family-owned organization.

Learn New Skills

No matter how many great skills you already have, it’s always nice to learn something new. Whether it’s soft skills or hard, think about what you’d like to learn.

Look for places in your community or online where you can take classes.

For example, you want to learn more about graphic design. You may consider applying to an art program.

Or you could be interested in gardening. You can take a class in gardening and plants, then apply for a job at a garden center or arboretum.

Whatever ever you do remember to set short-term goals that follow the SMART plan. This framework ensures that your goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based.

Let Go of What Could Be

Change is scary because you don’t know what to expect from your decisions. This fear keeps you in a state of inaction and apprehension.

But what if you could let go of all that worry just for a few minutes?

To do that, you need to trust yourself and maintain a positive mindset. Have faith that whatever comes along, you’ll find a way to handle it.

Stop thinking of change as something to be dreaded and feared. Instead, you can begin to think of it as something stimulating that adds a layer of excitement and intrigue to your life.

Be open to whatever life brings your way. It may surprise you with an even better outcome than the one you first imagined.

Final Thoughts

These five steps can help your personal and professional life short term and long. It’s a tough journey, but if you’re determined to make it, it can also be extremely rewarding.

Now, all that’s left to do is take that first step to discover your purpose and get back on your life’s path.

Time For New Beginnings and Final Endings

December 30, 2024 John Uncategorized No comments

Time For New Beginnings and Final Endings

There has to be endings to create new beginnings. An old year ends and a New Year begins, full of promises of change and new experiences.

It’s a good time for GenuLines to look at the endings in your life. For example , the death of a loved one, will leave you sad.

But if you accept the loss and focus on the good memories the person brought you can move on.

Each step in your life

These are necessary for you to continue growing. The end of high school or college signifies the beginning of adulthood.

This might give way to a career that you’ve studied for.

Every New Year is an opportunity for you to sit down and figure out what you want to change in the coming year. What will make you a better and happier person.?

Do you want to lose weight, quit smoking, move on to another job? Now is the time to rethink and reset your goals and make the necessary changes in your life.

Endings can only come when you let go of thinking about the negative events. When bad things go beyond your control you’ve got to distance yourself.

Make space for the positive

Get a grip on the reality of endings. You don’t like all endings, but you do need to accept their reality.

If you don’t learn to accept endings to allow for new beginnings, you might give up. That could open the door to a lifetime of regrets.

Think about things in a new way. You may think of yourself as “set in your ways,” about certain things.

But you have the right to change your mind if something changes, like more facts about what happened. Sometimes it helps to gain a fresh perspective on life and let go of old beliefs.

Remember, if you don’t take chances, change isn’t possible. You can hold on to the good things in your life, but if a new idea triggers excitement and fulfillment in your life, try it.

If you don’t, you may regret it.

Is Your Money Mindset Setting You Up For Failure?

December 2, 2024 John Uncategorized No comments

Is Your Money Mindset Setting You Up For Failure?

Dreaming of getting rich? You can’t help but admire the extravagant lives of celebrities and influencers, right?

It’s easy to fantasize about living like them. But as you chase after riches, are you losing sight of the things that matter?

Today, GenuLines invites you to explore this crucial question.

It’s often said that if you do something you love, the money will follow. This worked for me and it provided me with a good life (story for another time)

And after all, common sense says that you’ll approach something you love with passion.

But what if?

What if making money is your driving force? You’ll chase the dollar from one job to the next or from one opportunity to the next.

You’ll get seduced by false offers of riches. Over time, you’ll look back and see that you didn’t actually get real fulfillment.

The quick buck

You may be successful in the short term. You get that extra dollar from a new job.

Or you squeeze a quick buck from your business. But, you’ll be searching for more and more money.

You could even put yourself into a position where you can’t handle the new job due to lack of experience.

In other words, you didn’t give your previous level enough time to develop a foundation. You jumped ahead, and now you’re unclear what to do.

It’s a concept known as the Peter Principle, named after the person who came up with the idea, Peter Drucker.

Money isn’t as important as many try to make it out to be. For instance, what good is having a high-paying job when you have to work 80-90 hours a week?

Regrets?

Many people who do this look back at their lives and wonder why they did it. While they may have a lot of money when they get older, they likely don’t have fulfillment.

Another possibility is the heavy workload needed to get that wealth also gets them to an early grave. The money they earned is useless to them.

If you’re happy with what you’re doing, money becomes a less urgent priority. You do need money to live, and you shouldn’t settle for work that pays less than you’re worth.

So reach a balance between your paycheck and doing something that you enjoy. It can bring a whole bunch of fulfillment into your life.

Self Development And Your Success

Self Development And Your Success

Life experiences come and go. But, how do they impact your life’s success?

Some of us insist that every event serves a purpose. Negative events can challenge you to see the positive in them.

A “looking with new eyes” mindset might open you up to more positivity. And GenuLines has some practical tips on guiding you on this journey.

Feeling as if you’re a failure

There are no failures in life – only people moving through different experiences. How can others accept you if YOU can’t accept yourself?

Comparing yourself to media figures

Don’t compare yourself to them. The same holds true for the real people you meet.

There is no need to obsess about your looks, financial situation or anything else. Self acceptance does not depend on those things, nor does the approval of others.

Down and out

When you see that other people are feeling down about themselves, give them a helping hand. But if you find that they’re determined to stay in their negativity, leave them to it. Nobody benefits when you’re both in a tailspin.

There are no mistakes – only lessons learned

Don’t feel stupid or doomed because you failed some kind of test. See failure as a step on the road to success.

Take things one at a time

It’s fine to have big goals but split them down into realistic, simple steps. Self development means working on habits that you have built up over years or decades. You will not turn everything around overnight.

At YOUR best

Understand that self development will help you to be the best YOU that you can be. It will not turn you into somebody else. Look for your own strengths and build on them, instead of comparing yourself with others.

Little things matter

Sometimes, we don’t realize that the little things that we do are like a pat on the back. Saying “hi” or “hello”, or passing little compliments can mean a huge amount to other people.

Be sensitive to other people’s plight. Help them to see the positive in their lives. This will come back to you in a positive way.

You’re willing to accept change

But it doesn’t mean that everyone else is. It may not be the right time for them, or the method you are using may not be what they need. So do everything you can to be successful with your self development, but don’t bore others with it.

There’s a profound quote that says that “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” We’re all here to learn our lessons.

Your parents, children, friends, colleagues, neighbors, even strangers. They all have the potential to be your teachers.

Open the door to self development. You can learn from every person and every situation that you encounter.

5 Benefits of Conflict (Yes, Benefits!)

June 19, 2023 John Uncategorized No comments

The thought of conflict can make you tighten up, ready to deal with trouble. That’s a natural reaction.

But there’s a good side to conflict and today GenuLines shows you how that’s natural, too.

5 Benefits of Conflict (Yes, Benefits!)

When you experience a violent storm, it’s easy to rail against the weather. The wind and the rain can seem terrifying.

Especially when coupled with the thunder and lightning.

But ask any farmer, and they’ll tell you that even storms have their benefits. Of course the rain is necessary for their crops.

But lightning hitting the ground, puts nitrogen into the soil that’s so needed for things to grow.

Likewise, conflict in the workplace has certain benefits. But we don’t always see them right away.

Keep reading to find several of them you might not have considered before now.

1. Conflicts make us aware of new ways to do things

The very fact that there’s a conflict tells you that someone else has a different point of view from your own. By exploring those conflicts, you’re likewise invited to explore the idea from a new angle.

This might bring out a new solution that wouldn’t have occurred before.

2. Conflicts enable us to verbalize better what we want

It’s through conflict that we decide what’s important to us, and how to put those feelings into words.

3. Conflict drives flexibility

When we’re in conflict, we’re hoping for others to see our point of view. But also in dealing with conflict, we’re forced to see the point of view of those around us.

That’s where we learn how to become flexible, to acknowledge that we’re not always right.

So the conflict teaches you two very important traits. Being open-minded, and understanding humility.

4. Conflict forces us to listen

The only way to resolve conflict is to listen to the other person. Through listening, we gain wisdom and learn to make better decisions.

5. Conflict drives solutions

When you deal with conflict, you’re likewise dealing with a problem that needs a solution. Resolving that conflict means finding those solutions, usually in new and innovative ways.

So conflict forces us to solve our problems in a creative way.

At first you might shy away from the idea of conflict, but it’s good to remember these benefits. Without conflict, we stagnate.

In time you’ll be able to see how much you’ve grown and benefitted by that conflict.

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset- Which One Describes You?

June 12, 2023 John Uncategorized No comments

Mindset matters. Is yours standing still or all about forward motion.

Let GenuLines take the brakes off of your mindset and point you toward success.

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset- Which One Describes You?

There are two mindsets that go a long way toward determining your personality. A fixe mindset assumes that your character, creative ability and intelligence are unchangeable.

It insists hat your basic abilities are those you’re born with.

People with a fixed mindset often want to appear intelligent. But they don’t believe they can change their intelligence.

They’re afraid of looking dumb and that they’ll always look that way.

Common fixed mindset thoughts:

Either I’m good at something, or I’m not.

I can’t learn now; it’s too late.

There’s no point in trying if I’m going to fail.

I always struggle with…

I’m a procrastinator.

I’m not creative.

It’s hard for me to lose weight.

Growth mindset goes in a different direction. It’s the belief that abilities and intelligence can grow with time and experience.

That you can become smarter. that your efforts effect your success and with persistence you can learn.

A growth mindset sees basic ability as only the starting point for true potential. It creates a passion for learning rather than a constant need for approval.

Some common growth mindset thoughts:

I can always become better at something through practice.

I can learn whatever I want or need to, exactly when I need to learn it.

I see failures as opportunities to learn, to reassess, and to do better next time.

I can always do better at something if I want to, but it will take effort.

Determination and effort are the measures of my outcomes

I enjoy learning and growing, and learning is a lifetime pursuit for me.

There are key differences between a fixed and growth mindset. Challenge is one of them.

A person with a fixed mindset will shy away from a challenge, often from fear of failure. They may go into hiding to avoid responsibilities.

Challenge excites the growth mindset person.

They find valuable takeaways from their experiences. And they master the challenge and move to greater accomplishments.

Another key difference

A person with a fixed mindset sees mistakes as embarrassing.

They blame others or become defensive when criticized.

The growth mindset person sees mistakes as a lesson learned. They are less likely to take criticism personally.

They’re open to criticism, believing it helps improve their ability to do better next time.

If you find you have a fixed mindset but you want to change, you can. It’ll take practice, determination, and being more aware of your thoughts.

Then you’ll be able to expect that the reactions to situations you want you’re likely to have. With these efforts, you benefit by having a more open, growth mindset.

And an open path to success in every area of your life.

How Changing Your Mindset Can Improve Your Life

January 2, 2023 John Uncategorized No comments

Is it time to re-consider your mindset? The beginning of the year is a good time to give it some thought.

While you think it over keep these GenuLines tips close at hand.

How Changing Your Mindset Can Improve Your Life

“See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It always works, it works every time, with every person.” – Bob Proctor

I’m guessing that you don’t often think about how your mindset affects your life. You’ve always thought this way.

Either because of your upbringing or other circumstances.

This in fact does affect your life. By changing how you think you can improve your life.

Abundance mindset, scarcity mindset, fear mindset, fixed mindset, growth mindset, and confident mindset. These of some of the different types of mindsets we have.

Each unconscious and conscious belief affects our lives every moment.

Self Improvement

Here are some ways changing your mindset to an abundance or growth mindset can improve your life.

You aren’t afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Changing to a growth mindset allows you to see the many paths available to you in whatever you’re seeking.

These can include job advancement, creative outlets or something more personal. This allows you to move forward rather than being stuck in the same place.

When you make these changes, you see there are plenty of resources to go around. Now, there will be competition, but you’ll see the opportunities in every aspect of your life.

You become comfortable sharing ideas without feeling threatened or intimidated. This leads to better choices, environments and relationships.

You aren’t afraid of being a part of a team and participating in group situations.

Relationships

Setting your sights on growth helps you build better personal and romantic relationships. You realize people will always have differences.

You find that a relationship involves learning about and from each other. And you grow together and develop skills to work well together.

You’ll begin to judge yourself and others less. You won’t have time to waste on judging what others are saying or doing. Instead you’ll be focusing on making progress in your life.

The growth mindset has you accepting constructive criticism for what it is and using it for growth. It helps you be more confident because you won’t need validation to reassure you that you’re doing it right.

You Can Change

And it will improve your life. You can cultivate, learn, practice and grow new skills.

You no longer worry about what will happen. Instead you’ll commit to the process of doing, finishing and learning along the way.

Your growth will help you become a better person. Your skills will grow and you’ll build relationships.

You’ll step out of your comfort zone to go after what you want and believe you’ll get it.

6 Effective Ways To Change Your Attitude Towards The Positive

November 7, 2022 John Uncategorized No comments

It’s tough to feel positive these days. A lot of us need what I call an “atti-tune-up.” Today GenuLines takes a look under the hood to help you run on all cylinders.

6 Effective Ways To Change Your Attitude Towards The Positive

Your attitude reveals how you live your life, how you treat others, how others treat you, and a whole lot more.

It can help you be successful at home and work.

At the same, you’ll enjoy a sense of inner peace and confidence.

If you’re looking for ways to boost your optimism, these six effective ways can help you.

Have the Desire to Change

Change may be scary. But if you want a more positive attitude, you have to embrace change.

You’ll find you become a calmer, more accepting person. Your self-confidence will also get a nice boost because fewer things bother you.

Personal growth is a slow and steady process. Yet, it goes hand-in-hand with change and all the good that can come of it.

Find a New Vantage Point

Life shows us both a good side and a bad. They’re always there, co-existing. Which one you see depends on your perspective.

The next time something happens, try to look at it from more than one angle. If there are other people involved, try to picture it from their point of view.

Being aware of other people’s vantage points gives clarity and puts things in their right place. It also helps you see both the good and bad in everything.

To develop a more positive attitude, direct more of your energy to the good.

Develop Good Habits

Negative thoughts and beliefs lead to negative habits. A habit is a learned behavior that, over time, becomes reflexive. Start doing more of the good habits.

Develop one good habit at a time. For example, start with taking a 10-minute walk during your lunchtime.

Add 10 minutes each week. You may even find yourself waiting in anticipation for your daily walks.

Other good habits to try could be: Getting quality sleep each night. Cutting back on processed food, alcohol, or smoking

And being a more effective manager of your money.

Take some time to re-energize and de-stress. Give back to your community.

Practice self-reflection through meditation, journaling, or prayer. Find a hobby that indulges your creative side

Spend Time with Positive People

Positive people seem to find a way to see the silver lining in a situation. Their presence will lift your mood.

Their can-do attitude will remind you of your accomplishments and life lessons.

Hanging out with people who have a positive attitude can help you see things in a brighter light. It’s a scientific fact that, after a while, you’ll start to think and act like them.

You’ll start to be more optimistic and self-assured.

Focus on Solutions

Rather than spending so much time and energy focusing on the problem, try to focus more on the solution. Brainstorm one, or ten, ways to solve a certain prickly situation.

It could get difficult in the beginning. But soon, finding solutions will become an automatic response.

Live in the Present

The past contains all life lessons that have helped shape the person you’ve become. In the future your goals and dreams are lying in wait.

While they’re important, they’re both out of your control.

The only thing you can control is the present moment. You can either make it the best it can be or you can let it pass you by, causing you to spend the rest of your life feeling regret.

One great way you can live in the present is to practice mindfulness. Sit somewhere quiet for a couple of minutes.

Let your eyes wander to absorb everything going on around you. Whatever it is you’re seeing, take a few seconds to look at every detail.

Mindfulness meditation doesn’t only reduce stress by allowing you to live in the moment. It also teaches you gratitude for all you have and all you’ve accomplished.

The Many Shades And Flavors Of Success

August 16, 2022 John Uncategorized No comments

They say success leaves clues, but for you the trail has run cold. Or has it?

Join GenuLines for this investigation into ways your success might be hiding from you in plain sight.

The Many Shades And Flavors Of Success

Webster’s dictionary defines success as…

a: degree or measure of succeeding

b: favorable or desired outcome.

also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence

Have you ever stopped to think about how successful you are? For some reason we tend to look at success as it pertains to work and money.

But what about all the other successes that we achieve throughout our lifetimes?

Consider one part of the Webster definition above, favorable or desired outcome. Now realize that you’ve no doubt had lots of little successes that you’ve overlooked.

This could be finishing a report at work, or a school paper. Did your husband send you flowers for no special reason?

Did your child say she loves you because you’re the best mom? These are all favorable outcomes that result from our own efforts.

Effort And Achievement

Whenever you put effort into something you achieve, consider it a success. We don’t have to build a Bill Gates empire to consider ourselves successful.

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” – Henry David Thoreau

How about personal success? Consider for a moment how you live your life.

Do you take good care of yourself? If so, you’ve experienced another great success that eludes many people.

How many times a day or a week do you actually succeed without even thinking or planning to do so? It’s who you are.

You might even say that being who you are makes for success in its own right.

For example, a good friend needs help and you drop everything to be there. Color this a success.

What’s better than being there for the people we care about?

Acknowledgement

I’ll bet there are achievements in your week that you don’t notice. Why is that?

Wouldn’t it boost your emotional and psychological wellness to do so? Sure, it would.

Sometimes we miss the big picture. Those every day successes are some of our biggest.

It’s time to stand up and take notice of all that you do, every single day that makes you a success. Consider all the different shades and flavors of success in your own life, and celebrate them!

The Many Shades And Flavors Of Success

*Setting and following through on a fitness plan

*Being a loving and supportive parent

*Raising responsible kids• Eating healthy

*Taking good care of your mind, body and spirit

*Being a good friend

*Looking out for an elderly neighbor

*Taking good care of your family

*Being a responsible citizen

*Being a good friend

*Working a full time job and still coming home to cook dinner and do homework with kids

*Forgiving someone that wronged you

*Introducing a friend to her future husband

*Being honest when it’s hard to do so

*Saying sorry when it’s hard to do so

*Being your real self and living an authentic life

*Sticking with goals you set

*Giving your time and being of service

These are a few examples of the many shades and flavors of success.

Final Thoughts

Next time you consider whether you’ve succeeded in your own life, realize that big dreams and long-term goals are great. But there are many shades and flavors of success, and they all have value and meaning.

You Can Improve Your Character Defects

March 21, 2022 John Uncategorized No comments

Your character is not set in stone. There are ways to make changes that can power up your life.

Let GenuLines start you on your own character re-charge..

You Can Improve Your Character Defects

Everybody has at least one character defect. But it’s how you go about changing your bad habits that define you as a person.

Life is non- linear and non- stagnant, and nobody is perfect. Keeping that in mind, be gentle on yourself.

And open your mind as you discover your character defects and work towards changing them.

What Are Character Defects?

They are what seem to be harmful or toxic traits hindering your growth. These present issues for you in your life.

It could be a vice, your habits, or a way of thinking. It’s something that you have may have recognized as a problem area that you would like to fix.

Changing Your Personality

Personality changes don’t happen overnight. It’s a process.

As humans, we spend most of our lives changing and evolving. The key is to acknowledge and work on what you see as an issue in your life and take action to fix it.

Personality has to do with your mind and the way you think. Here are some steps and things to think about as you work on overcoming what you believe is holding you back.

Progress Not Perfection

We spend the majority of our lives working to better ourselves. The goal is to start the process chase this idea of making progress, not finding the solution.

It’s the steps you take toward the solution that count.

Time is linear. But remember that progress and life are very much non-linear in how and when events in life happen.

It’s okay if something doesn’t work. The goal is to keep trying.

Replace Behavior

Replace malicious behavior with positive behavior. Substitute destructive activities with alternative tasks.

Use these to distract yourself. It can be something productive, but it doesn’t need to be.

The goal is for it to be less harmful than whatever it is you are trying to replace. This will do one of two things.

It will rewire your brain until you won’t focus or crave that harmful activity. And two, it would provide you less time to think about such.

Persistence

Don’t give up. Aim to change and improve yourself as a person.

This is an ongoing process. We’ll spend our whole lives improving.

And we’ll become better versions of ourselves each time. It won’t be perfect, but the idea is progress, not perfection.

Let Go

Let go of old negative behaviors from your past. Work towards conquering past pain so that you can move forward.

Let go of the things that stop you from moving forward. The ones that make you bitter or bear a grudge, and in general, anything that’s not making you happy.

Taking off that bitter edge will allow you to move forward and give up things that no longer serve you.

Bloom

Envision what you want for yourself and who you want to be. In a sense you’ll be a role model for yourself.

And you provide yourself something to strive toward. Control your narrative.

You can become the type of person you want to be. You have the power to change.

Not right away, but over time.

We grow

Everybody has something that could fall into the category of a character defect. We’re always growing and evolving.

Identify your problem areas and make a plan to address them. This will go a long way to a happier, healthier life.
