Recognizing Truth

Hello Readers,

I have a question for you. Have you ever been turned down for job that you knew you were perfectly qualified for? What did you do? Did you call the recruiter to inquire about any mistakes you can learn from (which I highly recommend doing)? Or did you reapply for the same job again because they must have made a mistake (yes people have done this many times over). The truth is you did NOT get the job; therefore, you need to ask what you can improve upon and Keep It Moving (K.I.M.)! Accept the truth that you were not hired and keep applying for jobs. Do not become stuck on what you “want” to be real but it really isn’t.  I recently had a moment of truth and let’s say it was a truth I should have recognized a long time ago but, I refused to because I wanted it to be what I imagined it could be. The ironic thing is I witness clients do this all the time. At times they do not see or better yet want to confront, what is in front of them concerning their careers and life, however I can see it bright as day. We all need someone who can stand on the outside of us and tell us what we do not see. Isn’t it amazing how we all need each other to help us as I stated last week? 

Here are 3 tips to help you recognize truth:

1. Ask the opinion of people you REALLY trust. Your friends and family see things you can’t see which will impact your life and career.

2. If 2-3 total strangers tell you the same thing then it is the truth, believe it. 

3. Do a weekly if not daily self-examination. Take time to think about why you do the things you do, believe me, there is a reason and you will find it only if are honest with yourself.

Counsel

 Hello Readers,

I recently read a quote saying we cannot become successful by ourselves. I am a firm believer in this statement. A statement you can say to yourself that will kill your chances at success is "it is me against the world". Please STOP IT! It is not you against the world, because you need someone in this world to help you. I recently had lunch with someone and received sound wisdom. I am always seeking methods to speak to people and understand certain things in life. I truly understand that I do not know it all and I will never claim to. This is why seeking counsel is one of the wisest things you can do on your success journey. I am not saying to stop reading to discover things on your own; I am simply saying reach out for sound counsel. Do research on an area you need help in and email or call a contact for that area. The worst someone can say is no, and that is not likely to happen. So you may wonder what some of the sound wisdom I received was. I was advised to make sure I am making sound decisions and do not allow any situations to blur my view of what I want in life. What is a piece of sound counsel you have received lately? Feel free to share. It may help someone else.

NO one wants to do the hard jobs

Hello Readers,

I recently heard this statement and I thought to myself this is true. NO one wants to go to school for 8 plus years to be a doctor, NO one wants to be gone for months working on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, NO one wants to sell anything without having a base salary. However, all the mentioned positions can pay substantially. Why is it people may tend to stick to the “easy” way out? Sticking to what is “easy” will never allow room for growth and innovation. See, the positions I mentioned are positions that may pay well or have great benefits, but that is not the driving force, sure we all want the great pay and benefits but, the problem comes when we are challenged and are forced to learn something new. Think about this, there has to come a point in your life where you realize I am the only person who can do ________ this way. I am really the best at what I do is what you have to believe about yourself. We are all superior to everyone in some form or fashion. Figure out your blank and do the “hard” stuff behind it, only then will true satisfaction come in your career and life.

Here is one a statement I believe and live by: I believe in my ability to succeed because God has placed a passion inside of me than drives me which makes me unstoppable.

 

What is your blank?
