Consider This
You are capable of success. First decide what success means to you. Is it job satisifaction? Is it a meaningful career? It is the financial rewards that are the result of a career? You have the capacity to learn and grow, no matter how long you have been in your present job or career. Your progress depends upon when you are ready to make a change. You never have to accept the status quo. You always have a choice. When you realize you are in control of your career you will also believe that you have options and you will be encouraged to find your own opportunities. To learn is to grow and to want a new or improved future is to embrace change. Feelings of fear are only reminders to be prepared. There is no failure, only lessons learned along the way. Find your success by believing in what you are capable of achieving. Dr. J |
