We work hard to advance our careers, but suddenly, feeling like we are back where we started can be very frustrating. The situation raises our blog question: Are you caught in the circle of life?
No doubt, many people experience the situation, but how we handle it is the differentiator for success ahead. Sadly, most have the urge to quit, telling themselves, ‘It’s of no use.’ But that doesn’t have to be the case when we embrace the determination to learn and improve to move forward.
My Story
From my perspective, all areas are affected by the circle of life—for example, global and local news, the stock market, and our endeavors. At times, it seems as if we are returning to the era of almost cave dwellers, and today, with AI on the rise, the thought of space aliens visiting Earth is possible, and our living on the moon almost sounds like a good idea.
During our challenging times, it’s good to focus inward to discuss with our alter-ego what we wish to achieve in our lifetime and how our legacy may appear. A long-term vision for how we each desire our success and achievements is vital as it motivates us to continue.
Ideas to Remain In The Game
- Dedicate oneself to a list of challenging goals by taking the extra steps to achieve them.
- Admission to oneself when a strategy needs revision and the fortitude to fix it.
- Upon feeling confident, attempt something new and challenging.
The sales profession taught me to build genuine relationships with clientele plus stand my ground with bullies in the sales arena: education, good and almost evil, empowered my approach to entrepreneurship. Moving several times sent my effort spiraling downward until I caught each issue to dismantle it to move forward.
The magic occurs when we attempt something new beyond what we initially envision. Excitement returns for us to put a renewed effort into the new idea. Surprisingly, our previous experiences assist with turning our new thoughts into a robust outcome for the better. And sharing the good and bad experiences and how we dealt with them empowers others and increases audience awareness for the better.
Your Story: Caught In the Circle of Life?
No matter the size of the company for whom you may work, a retail store, or entrepreneurship, sooner or later, you may realize that you are caught in the circle of life to ponder what comes next. It becomes the time to focus on what you enjoy doing outside of work, or are there lessons realized that you want to share to empower others?
The possibilities are limitless for ending the circle of life to reach outward. No one but you knows the answer that will direct you to feel enjoyment and the utmost satisfaction.
Until you realize your better route, say ‘no’ to being caught in a loop to contemplate how to advance beyond.
In Conclusion: Caught In the Circle of Life
Upon embracing your ideas to remain in the game, bonuses arrive. Initially, receiving offers from others we previously viewed as out of our realm may seem like a shock. It happened for me and a friend, and the same may occur for you – but only if you give your vision an all-out effort to make it a reality.
