"If something isn't working in your life, change the game"
It is important to be the change you want to see. Instead of conforming to the culture of my environment I will take the steps necessary to improve. When we adapt to our surroundings, or at least are prepared to, we avoid falling behind. Often, people that are in power positions drop the ball and instead of changing to see better outcomes, they conform. Sometimes conforming is an act of malicious intent.
Connection
My military studies course Management 341 taught me that I could adjust quickly and adapt to my environment seamlessly. When I joined the military I had no knowledge of airplanes nor was I mechanically inclined. The military studies courses showed me how to survive the most stressful situations regardless of my environment. High stress and limited time became a day to day normality. I have been able to apply those skills today to balance school, work, and military duty. It may not be perfect but I always rise to the occasion.
Vision
If you're not getting the desired results then it may be time to change your perspective on how you're approaching any situation. You can change the game in two ways, either you elevate and make a move no one has ever seen before, or literally just move on and try something else. Either way you won't be wrong.
