CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK

"For he thinks in his heart, so he is..." - King Solomon
I have always been a big picture person who usually don't take care of the details. I love the outdoors and my first job takes me allowed me to bask in the sun the whole day.
In search of a new challenge, I decided to make a career switch and became deskbound. My greater challenge was to become very detailed in my job, which I weren't used to. In my heart, I keep telling myself that I am a big picture person and will not be able to perform in my new job. I gave myself excuses just to make myself feel less guilty for not doing my job well.
After attending a talk, I began to have a change in mindset. I told myself that I can be a very detailed person if I tried. True enough, it worked. Although it took me a great effort to overcome this problem, I am now a detailed and at the same time a big picture person.
If you are someone who thinks "down" of yourself, it's time to change your mindset and walk towards a path of a better you.
