My Career. Career Goals. Career Motivation.
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing
something, you do it when it is convenient. When you are committed to something, you
accept no excuses, only results.
Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you se. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you
listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt, and judgement, and you can see forever.
You are free to choose where you work, what you do, and with whom you will work. But who and what you become is hanging in the balance. Before you take a job or position, remind yourself that what will go on in the workplace will change you, and ask yourself whether or not the change will be in harmony with your mission statement.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less than excellent work.
Four little words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd, a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.
What success really means is looking failure in the face and tossing the dice anyway. You may be the only person who ever knows how the dice come up, but in that knowledge you have something that millions of people will never have because they were afraid to try.
You pay a price for getting stronger. You pay a price for getting faster. You pay a price for jumping higher. (But also) you pay a price for staying just the same.
The reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.
