Some time ago I attended a birthday party and met a young man who just happened to be 30. I say young because when you're 47, who is a young age! He spoke of his career in a business of the majors where he has been working for the last three years. John complained of working long hours? Times from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm during the week, and often on weekends. He lamented the fact that he was tired and stressed and so was everyone else coworkers. I asked him why he continued working these hours and he said, "is expected. People are being laid off and those remaining want to keep their jobs." He felt that if he did not fool this time that he too would be out of work.
My next question was "what will you do about your situation to change?". John responded with "nothing." I had no energy to act on his own life. He had also asked if I had done some personal development course and he replied that he had been involved in running the company. Never had invested their time and money doing something external. Take Control Yourself, I found that people who do not invest time and money on themselves and depend on your employer to pay for its development, dance to someone else's tune. Leave their future in the hands of another person.
In fact most people drift through life taking everything that was distributed to them. They can not "be bothered" to invest time, money or energy in themselves. It is much easier to float with the crowd. Take stock of yourself we are half way through another year. Have you reached your goals this year? Has made positive changes in the areas of relationships, finances, career, health and welfare, etc. Are you better this year than last year? Are you moving forward or backward in your life? Are you happy? Are you happy? This is an interesting question to ask. Are you going through the motions of everyday life or are you excited days where you're going? The final word If you want to be the leader of your life, rather than the follower, you will need to take action. And when to take action? Right now. If you do not know where to go, etc, get a life coach. You will be amazed at how quickly advance in the right direction. No need help? You can do it yourself? That's great. So what are you waiting for? Get moving today.
