Who doesn’t need a little ENCOURAGEMENT now and then? Everyone – and not just a “little!” A lot!! On a daily basis, young or old, happy or confused, we all need to hear that we are doing a good job, doing the right thing, are “lookin’ good!” - have accomplished something meaningful, or are on the right track!
What about self-encouragement?
Now, there’s something we don’t seem to hear enough of!
Something I’ve noticed from time to time with job seekers / career changers, is that they are constantly evaulating or agonizing about (on a daily basis) why it is that no employer seems to want to hire them, or why they are having trouble making a career direction or job change decision.
It is easy to get discouraged when we put “thought time” and real “action” time into accomplishing something and it just isn’t happening. It’s logical that we will get discouraged – very discouraged.
But on a daily basis – we all, employed or unemployed, disillusioned or discouraged – must find some time for self-encouragement. It goes hand in hand with motivation. We generally don’t act on our motivational thoughts or plans unless we ENCOURAGE ourselves (and each other) to take those first steps.
Need permission to change your plans and goals? Not from me or anyone else. Encourage yourself to make the decisions that only you can make.
So, what do you SAY to yourself on a daily basis?
”Good job!, I’ll try a new approach so I get the result I want, Maybe it makes more sense for me to do this…”
OR
“Why isn’t this happening for me?, Maybe I’ll think about it tomorrow, Why don’t I get this?, I won’t get that position anyway, why try….”
Be a self-encourager, you WILL achiever faster results and get what you want!
Until next time - stay positive and encourage yourself to take CHARGE of your career / job path!!
