Every job can have a
purpose that makes your work meaningful. Keeping our communities clean,
ensuring that people get from point A to B safely, and helping families get
settled into a new home are a few examples. Your purpose aligns with how you
contribute to the world - it comes in many shapes and sizes.
Your
heart sinks. You just received an email letting you know that you weren't
successful in getting a new job, promotion or contract. Digest the news. Turn
this loss into your competitive advantage by listening to their feedback. Move forward to the next opportunity with
confidence - there's plenty out there.
When you have
developed a strength to a level that you are happy with - that's the exact
moment that you need to push yourself further. Seek a mentor who is better than
you. Build rapport though this unique strength that you both share.
When you receive a
task that's outside of your comfort zone, you may want to seek the guidance of
a mentor who is strong in this area. Receiving guidance from them is good, but
don't go beyond that by asking your mentor to take a more hands-on role in helping
you. By completing the task on your own, you may surprise yourself about your
actual capabilities.
There are some
things in life that you love to do and you may only realize this when you feel
as though you are unable to do them anymore. Your mentor won't let you give up.
They push you in the right direction. When you finally build up enough courage
to take the plunge - the smile on your face is pure delight.
