Okay, so today I wanna talk about “differentiate, perpetuate, and establish.” Sounds kinda fancy, right? But it’s actually pretty straightforward stuff that I went through recently. Let me break it down for ya, just my personal experience, nothing too technical.
First off, I realized I needed to do something different. I was kinda stuck in a rut, doing the same old thing day in and day out. It was like being on a hamster wheel, you know? Going nowhere fast. So, I took a step back and thought, “What makes me, well, me?” I listed out all the things I’m good at, the stuff I enjoy, and what I kinda suck at. This was the “differentiate” part. It’s like, figuring out what sets you apart from the crowd.
- I wrote down everything that came to mind.
- I asked some friends for their honest opinion, which was kinda scary but super helpful.
- I even did some of those online personality tests, just for kicks.
Next up was “perpetuate.” Now, this is about keeping the good stuff going. Once I had a better idea of my strengths, I needed to, like, double down on them. For me, that meant I tried to do something new everyday. I used to feel afraid about it. But this time I just did it. I pushed myself a little bit each day, and guess what? It got easier. It’s like building a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
- I tried to do a little bit each day to improve myself.
- I kept a journal to track my progress, which was kinda cool to look back on.
- I celebrated the small wins, even if it was just a little pat on the back.
Finally, there’s “establish.” This was the tricky part. It’s one thing to know your strengths and keep them going, but it’s another to, like, make it official. For me, I started to share my experience with others. I wanted it to be seen by more people. I started small, just sharing with friends and family. I felt more confident about myself. Then I started to put them on my blog. It’s not about being famous or anything, but more about putting yourself out there and showing the world what you’re made of.
- I set some realistic goals for myself, nothing too crazy.
- I started sharing my journey with others, which was kinda vulnerable but also liberating.
- I focused on being authentic and true to myself, not trying to be someone I’m not.
So, yeah, that’s my take on “differentiate, perpetuate, and establish.” It’s not rocket science, but it did take some effort and a whole lot of self-reflection. But in the end, I feel like I’m in a much better place now. I’m more confident, more focused, and more, well, me. And that’s kinda priceless, don’t you think?
