You are your BEST investment

Someone that I recently talked to left her job.  She shared with me her dissatisfaction about her job

and with her co-workers.  Many of you can relate with her about being unhappy with your job.  She mentioned being unhappy about several things but one thing that came up in the conversation was that she did not feel valued and  no one invested in her. Read on to see what I shared with her:

Jim Rohn said, "you don't get paid for the hour, you get paid for the value you bring to the hour".  Many people outsource the responsibilities of their life's outcome to others.  If you want to change your outcome or the results you are producing in your life then you must add value to yourself.  

You are able to press your reset button.  Now make good use of this new opportunity.  Understand what you want out of this experience that you did not have with your previous experience.  Don't blame anyone but what is the experience you want?  How are you willing to create that experience for yourself?  Who can help you create this experience for yourself?  People don't grow and develop by accident.  You must be intentional about your growth and develop. Remember that you are your BEST investment.  You must always continue to sow into your destiny.  

 Now for all of those reading this: I want you to write down your schedule for the week and weekend.  If your schedule does not  create time for personal growth then, you need to start to become more INTENTIONAL about your time.  Now I am not saying you quit your job.  What I am encouraging is that you substitute your time with reading a book, listening to a pod cast, networking, or creating your growth plan.  Whatever it is make sure you are working at it everyday to get you closer to what you want (be intentional).   

See you on Thursday!

Lo--

Ps.  This does not only apply towards a job.  This is also for those out there trying to lose weight or eat healthy.  Let this speak to your unspoken truth (speaking to myself now).
