Day 1 of Awareness: Arrogance

As the CEO was talking about restructuring and my position shifted to a position of authority to innovation and research I felt some tinge in my pride feeling demoted from what I saw as a higher role.

Help has always been welcome and usually arrives as free. Arrogance changes that, thinking that the capability to accomplish such a task if can be done alone, should be done alone. Sometimes, it is not about being the champion, not about who completes the work, but how optimized the work was completed.

Change was another challenge and a pain for arrogance, the way it feels to be shifted, disrupted, denied of comfort and the fulfillment of one’s desire, shakes my calm. It’s scary and the fear of uncertainty haunts each sleep.

But we all know that the only constant thing in this world is change.

Being aware is the first step of solving a problem. Although, the root maybe deep embedded by nature and by growth, it is not to say it is impossible to be humble.

The first step is the biggest in every decision, but it is the journey of a thousand if not a million that’s hardest to endure. Then again, change is never a destination, but a journey.

It starts now.

I just read an article about this word “Kaizen” which translate to “Continuous Improvement”, maybe I’ll integrate it in this project. As a title, or as a side note. Who knows, but one thing is for sure, I’d like that as a mantra for this year.
