T.I.P.S. - To Improve Pay and Success
Look Forward, Not Back
We sometimes know that a change in career, job, or assignment
is in order. We can sense that the fit is wrong. If a change is
truly out of the question, we can usually adjust our attitude.
Yet a new job may not be out of the question. It may just be difficult.
Every change, no matter how positive, requires sacrifice. At times
it seems less painful to remain where we are.
When our circumstances are not nourishing us, we cannot always
change them dramatically, or change them quickly. Sometimes we
want to find the reason we are in these circumstances at all. Too
often we waste precious energy and thought-power figuring out who
or what is to blame.
Each of Us is full of career advice and career development information to help you get the success you deserve. Buy the book now!
Perhaps we almost enjoy the role of martyr or victim. More likely,
we just can't believe our decisions and actions have been so misguided.
Chastising ourselves is very painful, but we do it anyway. We also
place the blame elsewhere. This exercise gets us no where.
We need to move beyond the reason to the cure. Looking forward
instead of back is a beginning. Moving forward is easier when we
are focused in that direction. Considering all the paths to a new
goal, rather than how we got where we are, allows new opportunities
to emerge. Awareness is the first step. Small adjustments make
a big difference.
