Most of us don’t want change.
We say we do, we dream about it, but the reason most people are in the same spot day in and day out– year after year, is because they’re ultimately okay with their circumstances.
The scariest thing about staying where you are is that time will catch up with you. If you’re not building something, developing yourself, chipping away at some goal you’ve set, time will catch you off-guard— and when it does, it’ll be a lump sum painment due at once.
Your development is up to you.
You have to take it in your own hands.
When I started this role at my current company, I was learning nonstop– and I don’t mean bullshit products and services.
I was developing skills– and the fulfillment was there as a result.
But now, it’s just about maneuvering a bullshit political landscape.
Even worse, they don’t care about the work, they just want what they want.
Most will adapt to the company’s needs, I adapt to my own.
The danger with staying in a place like this is you get worse as time goes on. You’re not moving towards anything, if at all, so each passing week, each new year, each day— is on groundhog time.
Your life is just a repeat of the day before.
You have to make time work to your advantage, and the only way to do that is to pick something to do– an activity, a project, whatever, and start chipping away at that.
Momentum is everything, don’t lose it waiting to be saved.
