The End

We are 6 days (if you count the 26^th) away from the new year. We are nearing the end of yet another great year of ups and downs and highs and lows. What did you accomplish? What are you proud of? List out as many great things you did this year. Don’t focus on the negative things (who cares about those). Keep this list close and use it as a measuring guide to what great things you will accomplish next year. Finish this year and prepare to create the next year. I can’t wait to read what you have done.

Peace

Here is a question you should ask yourself daily: Am I at peace in my career? You should first define what is “peace” for yourself.  As I mentioned, you create your own world, therefore you create your own career. If what you are doing each is driving you insane it may be time to evaluate your peace level. Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

 

1.     Am I stressed to the point to where I don’t have a life?

2.     Do I cry about going to work (literally cry)?

3.     Do I hate the people I work with?

4.     Do I ask myself why am I doing this job three times a day or more?

 

These are just a few questions to start you off with evaluating your peace level. Make the changes today because nothing beats having peace in all areas of our lives.

While You Are Waiting

Are you waiting on a new job, a promotion, a raise, a big break, an approval for a proposal, or your soulmate? Regardless of what you are waiting on, what you do with your time is what matters. It is apparent you have already made the big step to achieve one of your accomplishments, now you are playing (what some people) call the “waiting game.” How are you spending your time? Do not watch the clock. Keep the ball moving. If you are waiting for a proposal, start writing another one, if you are waiting for a job offer, keep applying for others. The point is to keep it moving (my motivational phrase K.I.M.). It helps to always have a “closing the deal” mindset, not a "sit, wait, and worry” mindset. What are you doing while you are waiting?

Feedback is not personal

Recently, I was given feedback and it didn’t feel very good to hear even though it was delivered professionally. I agreed with the feedback and I am going to adhere to it. I define feedback as opinionated information delivered based on one’s view of another’s performance or actions. Feedback can be positive and constructive but should never be considered negative, because is it geared to aid individuals to become better and propose areas of improvement. Feedback is needed for growth and development not only in life but in your career. I recommend to take feedback seriously but not personally, trust the person who delivers the feedback to have your best interest in mind, and simply act. A rule of thumb is if more than one person delivers the same feedback especially at different times in your life or career, take heed to it and make the necessary changes. Other people see things in us that we can’t see.
