Invest in Yourself.
Texts, DMs, conference calls, ZOOM meetings...our days are often consumed with activity. The question that we must ask is, "what is my intention?” It is at the moment when we forget the answer to the question that the "trouble" begins. It is in that vacuum of uncertainty--the moment when we forget the reason why we are doing what we are doing--that we make ourselves vulnerable to office politics, gossip, job dissatisfaction, etc. It is our opportunity to awaken a sense of purpose. It does not need to be an overall sense of purpose for our existence; simply, our purpose for TODAY. Why are we doing what we are doing?
This is a question that must be asked over and over again. The world changes and so do our lives; our intentions will evolve with our being. We may entertain our fears by investing in a false belief that we are controlled by circumstances. It is important that we do not fall for this temptation of self-sabotage. We are always in the driver's seat. If we don't know where we're going, why don't we pull over and figure it out?
Take the time today to invest in yourself so that you will have more to give to others. Take 30 minutes for yourself to examine your life. Do you like what you have created for yourself or is it time to create something new?
Success or sabotage? Your every thought word and action is answering this question. Why not be conscious of your choice to effectively evaluate the merit of your decision?
Is this going to be an incredible day? Avoid the "hamster on the wheel" impersonation that has become so popular in American society. Take inventory of yourself and give thought to what would make this a great day by your definition. What will you do to get it?
